Bryan was able to take the time to recognize an issue I was having and he gave me suggestions to fix it, improving my accuracy. He was patient and was definitely safety motivated.

My class was filled with a ton of experienced gun owners even though it was a “beginner” course. I was impressed to see that even the experienced gun owners and enthusiasts in my MoD.Handgun.1 class all learned.

Bryan is a special type of coach who let everyone progress at their own pace and didn’t make anyone feel “dumb.” Some in our group came into the lesson feeling intimidated and Bryan made them feel right at home. 11/10!
