Good Morning, Chris — I wanted to send you this short e-mail to thank you for such a fabulous, informative, comprehensive life-changing pistol training class. Felt a wonderful rapport not only with you, but with Jason and all of the attendees. You taught me sooo much and I really appreciate your passion and desire to help me and others become responsible gun owner(s). Now I am more convinced than ever that my newly acquired skills will help meet my goal of becoming a more skilled precision shooter to enter competitions in the future. My plan is to visit the range once a month for live shooting and attend your class again (along with the low light class) in early fall of this year. Best Regards, Veronica M., Williamsville N.

Chris, I would really like to thank you for an excellent course this weekend! Had a great time but most important is that I went home with tons of excellent skills and information. Been teaching krav maga classes for years and know how hard it is to magage time, keep students interested, SAFE and learning. I have to do this in 55 min and I dont know how you plan so well for 8 hours! A great progression of training to terminate with a (humbling) drill that takes all of the skills taught all day into a 3 min skill set.Again, thank you very much! Thanks Chris and be safe always, Fran F., M.D., Long Island N.
