Steve went far beyond what was called for in supporting every person in our class, racking, loading, gripping, aiming use of one eye, quick shoot and proper stance. The class information was more extensive than other CCW classes I reviewed before signing up here. I'm ready for every course that Steve will offer. Great Job Steve. - Per Excellente'!

It was obvious that steve knew the subject matter for the classroom instruction. However, I think the best part of the class, and Steves strength, wss the live shooting. Steve patiently worked with each studemt in order to improve their shooting technique.
