“Just wanted to say thanks again to you and your team, I truly enjoyed myself today and learned a lot. I can really appreciate the time and effort that your staff put into the course. As a long- time coach for collegiate and national level athletes, I stress the importance of mastering the fundamentals and keeping things simple. I feel that your approach to your teaching methodology follows similar guidelines. I consider myself a novice shooter and I appreciated the basic progressions in the course. I loved the individual feedback after each drill. I definitely have a lot of practice ahead of me to improve my fundamentals. I now feel I have some more insight to help me improve. For what it is worth, I thought the class was well organized and well thought out. Plus, it was pretty dam fun! I hope to train again with your company.”
Jason Torres, Tactical Handgun I – March 25th, 2012
“I was a student in your CPL (Personal Protection in the Home) class yesterday and wanted to send you a quick email for 2 reasons. The first is to say thank you for the great class you and Erik taught yesterday. It is clear to me that Ranger Firearms Instruction cares about making sure that students understand the responsibility that comes with a firearm (pistol in particular). The material was very well presented, flowed nicely and was easy to understand. In additional, with yourself and Erik’s background I feel like I got additional perspective that I would have missed had I taken a similar class through another instructor. I am very glad that I chose you guys for my CPL class.”
