Frequently Asked Questions
"I'm used to outshooting most people on a range. As a military vet with expert marksman scores who's been shooting since childhood, I didn't think there was much room for improvement.
A few sessions of training with Paul proved otherwise. I noticed tighter groups and increased confidence at farther distances. I have received both classroom and 1-on-1 range instruction from Paul and can say that he passes along top-quality lessons gained from years of real-world experience."

"I shoot rifles every once in a while, but have always felt uncomfortable shooting handguns. I felt like I just wasn't good with them, and there wasn't anything I could do about it. Well, Paul teaches in a way that helped me understand the fundamentals better than I had before. I immediately felt more comfortable handling a handgun, and am excited to see progress the next time I go out to the range!!"

"Very informative! I know firsthand what it is like to be a person who did all the DONT'S. Watching the videos on the 7 firearm fundamentals and personally practicing at the range and dry firing has opened my eyes and taught me that I wasn't as good as I thought I was. I say that with constructive criticism. I honestly had no idea about breathing, grip, sight alignment, or sight picture. Paul has an above 5 star rating in my opinion when it comes to the fundamentals of fire safety and instruction. He has not only provided great firearm teaching, but also taught me the correct performance on how to use a firearm and hit my target(s). Prior to watching and listening to Paul I would hit the target, but not where I was thinking I would hit. I was either high, low, left and right where I intended to hit. Not until taking a deep breath and proper grip and site picture I could not hit the target where I wanted to. I highly recommend taking this course and practice everything Paul teaches. In doing so I promise you will become a great marksman and your 5 shot group would look as if only one shot was fired."
