Testimonials

Even if you're an experienced shooter, this course helps you to understand the "why" behind the foundational techniques taught. That made a big difference for us. Chris made adjustments to some of our techniques and we saw definite improvement in recoil management, precision and accuracy. The following week, we returned to the range and applied the changes Chris suggested. We were rewarded with great results!

For anyone who desires to improve their shooting skills, we encourage you to take this course from Chris.

The all-day firearms training class was both intensive and incredibly informative! The techniques we learned made a noticeable difference in my precision and boosted my confidence. The hands-on guidance and in-depth instruction really set this class apart. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to refine their skills and feel more self-assured in their practice!

Rochelle Clark

Chris's course is a must take! Not only is he knowledgeable about the how and why of tactical training but he dials in on what you specifically need to work on and helps you strengthen your skills to make ready at a moments notice! Highly recommend this class for anyone wanting to brush up on skills or learn some new ones. 10/10 would take this class again!

Kendra

My GF and I took the Beginners Class from Chris. We had experience with firearms throughout our lives, but the way that Chris taught and incorporated our previous knowledge into the curriculum of the Course was fantastic. He made us feel comfortable and that ultimately led to us both improving our accuracy and precision. Chris is highly knowledgeable, very patient, and knows when and how to challenge participants to bring out the best in them. I highly recommend anyone from novice to experts to contact Chris for a Course.

Jerry Martin

Chris Schaefer did an excellent job at teaching us the universal principles in handling our firearms. He was patient and deliberate every step of the way. After our training, we were amazed in our improvement when we applied what we learned. I highly recommend this training class for all shooting skill levels. Everyone will come out learning something new.

An exceptionally thorough course. It really breaks down every aspect of shooting a firearm. As someone who isn’t a stranger to guns, I was surprised and very impressed by the quality of information, and how much it improved my shooting in just one day. Five stars, hands down!
