-Very focused training with an instructor who has a strong and professional presence, articulate communication skills and an in depth understanding of the student's needs. Each student who attended walked away with new skills, re-enforced existing skills and most importantly motivation. I would attend another course from this instructor regardless of topic.  

 -Great experience. I learned to gain two sight pictures for every shot taken. Proper handling of the rifle and always knowing the condition of the weapon. What was new and novel for me was the use of the Rockwell targets which pushed me to think before every shot. 

  -From start to finish William was a very caring, informative instructor, who really really was intent on me learning what I needed to learn! I went into this course with a lot of insecurity for a firearm, and came out of it very secure, and confident In understanding and handling of a firearm correctly! 

-As a novice, this was the 1st experience with stress (induced stress) the command of threat is usually the only stress inoculation. This had the most movement (under stress). And the culmination of all drills was a great way to finish up. What stuck out is just how much more training is needed. And the commitment to attaining the proficiency I seek. Physical fitness is paramount to defense fighting even with firearms. Even more so. 

 -The experience was outstanding. The level of detail and depth of instruction was top-notch. The course covered myriad aspects of firearms safety and rifle marksmanship. The course started with a safety briefing, followed by an overview of the course. The greatest strength this course has is that all of the information is conveyed in a way that it builds upon itself and enforces good habits. One new piece of info I learned was the procedures and loading, clearing, and inspecting the rifle. The principles were the same as those taught in the pistol course, but the operation due to differences in the rifle and pistol weapon systems was slightly different. Learning the proper steps to load, clear, and inspect the rifle was critical, as it ensures safety and best-practices. The importance of obtaining sight picture -and learning why sight alignment differs with optics- before and after a shot was also a major benefit of the course. Learning the principles of sight alignment and sight picture greatly improved my shooting. 

 -Training was great, and instructor was clear and precise with instruction and advice. I learned a great deal of knowledge on improving my technique and shot placement. Overall, very satisfied with my experience. 

 -The course was highly professional and entailed a functional layered progression. I really enjoyed the teaching methodology, progression, and pace. Communication of safety, fundamentals, body mechanics, manipulations and other particulars were concisely articulated (as well as answers to questions) and demonstrated with precision. The unique visual teaching tools – e.g. interactive poster, targets, and slides (notes) are great artifacts to help explain and recall the curriculum, drills, and overall experience during and after the course. Having experience with other courses, I can appreciate a varying or contrasting view of teaching methods and points of instruction. Certain aspects were new and very useful: e.g. Using a unique interactive graphic as a teaching aid for concentration and visual focus; unique visually interactive shooting target with drills; marksmanship axiom of "making bigger circles into smaller circles" was a great verbal/visual analogy; an alternative and functional method and manipulation for engaging multiple targets; Drilling for the 5° indent for port inspection after executing controlled pairs. From my perspective, there wasn't anything nonessential. 

   -Fundamentals are key. If your fundamentals are mediocre, then most likely you are going to be a mediocre shooter. The structure started with the basics; sight picture, grip, breathing, trigger control. The structure and course of day is what worked for me. Instead of having a day at the range with a instructor, I had a day at the range with a detailed course of action with a methodical process with a professional instructor. We sharpened the basics and which led to a stronger shot.
