The basics pistol class is best suited for student with little to no shooting experience and shooter who have not practiced in a long time and are in need of a refresher course. I should point out that over the last twenty year close quarter self protection shooing has developed exponentially and the shooting protocols used by Swat, Seals, Special forces etc. is nothing like how people used to use a hand gun for
self-protection. While a Basic Shooting Program, over the course of the summer each student’s skill will develop to the point they could easily enter any advanced handgun program and hold their own. Safe gun handling is the prime focus of this course. I would rather teach than talk about my self, but in the last year I have had no less than eight advanced shooter tell me that I run the safest shooting program they have ever seen.

PERSONAL
PROTECTION
The decision
to get a concealed carry permit and carry a
handgun, all or part of the time is arguably
the most serious choice you will ever make.
You are making an intellectual and moral
decision to, if necessary; use deadly force
as a legal means to protect your life and
the lives of your loved ones from the
actions of violent criminals. In my
experience as a close quarter self-defense
instructor, clients who seek my services
tend to be farsighted. They have accepted
reality, that violent crime is on the
increase and, ultimately, each citizen is
responsible for their own safety.
I have been an instructor/public speaker for
over thirty-five-years, so I tend to be
verbose. To save your time, I will lay out
what my program offers that others in the
Central Rockies do not.
The facts:
90%
of self-defense shooting happens
within 15 feet.
Of
these, 90% happen within 3 feet.
The
shoot or no shoot distance for law
enforcement is 21 feet. If a criminal
with a knife or stick gets closer than
21 feet from a police officer, the
protocol to ensure that the officer
survives is he/she is to shoot.
This means that there is high probability
that if you were to have to protect your
family or yourself with a firearm it will
happen at a distance law enforcement
professionals try to avoid at all cost.
If you are looking to learn the basics of
target shooting and how to own, operate, and
store a gun safely then I am confident that
any certified NRA instructor can fulfill
your need.
If your goal is to complete a process where,
over time, you perfect your ability to use a
firearm as your most effective tool in the
protection of yourself and your family I am
by far your best choice.
Before choosing a firearms instructor you
should ask yourself these questions.
1. Type of Instructor
A. Are you looking for an experienced
full-time professional?
B. Are you looking for a part-time
instructor?
2. Depth of instruction
A. Do you want a shooting instructor, who
understands close quarter fighting,
including the use of knives, sticks and bare
hands?
B. An ordinary target shooting coach?
3. Learning in a safe environment
A. I would prefer a shooting instructor who
is also a certified Range and Safety
officer.
B. Any instructor will do.
4. In summation; are you looking to?
A. Become truly proficient in the use of a
firearm in a life and death situation?
B. Simply get your CCW permit?
If you answered A to the above questions,
then I am clearly the best firearms
instructor to meet your needs.
For over thirty years, I have made my living
as a self-defense instructor. I have
multiple black belts including a 5th degree
in Kenpo and a 3rd degree in Ju-jitsu. I
have trained with, been the instructor of,
and been instructed by members of Marine
Force Recon, Special Forces, Rangers and
other elite fighting units. I have been POST
certified as a defensive tactics instructor
training with a number of law enforcement
agencies including members of SWAT teams. I
am well versed and have been an instructor
of the majority of knife and stick fighting
system for decades. In short, for over three
decades, I have made a living as an
instructor of close quarter combat, empty
hand, knife, stick, and gun. I have been
successful because students who have taken
my courses have had all their expectations
and needs fulfilled.
-Learning to shoot a handgun and learning to use a handgun in
a life and death situation are two very different things.-
