    Hi Jeff, I just wanted to send you an email thanking you for allowing me to take your class, and for teaching me everything throughout that day. I learned a great deal from just that one class, and it's definitely helped my shooting and understanding of the basic concepts, and I actually feel that I may have benefited the most, from your class, out of all the people there. I've been struggling with my shooting since purchasing my gun, and I feel that it's so much better now, after going through your instruction. Honestly, I was scared to take your class initially, but you've made me feel comfortable enough to attend more of your classes this upcoming year.

    Thanks again Regards, Alex L.

    A couple of months ago, on a whim, I picked up a business card for a place called "Alpha Dog Tactical", which teaches a variety of combat courses for pistol, carbine, and shotgun. I'd been feeling pretty proficient in my ability to punch reasonably grouped holes in paper targets over at the local range. So the idea of taking an actual police-style pistol training course had the same terrifying appeal that goes with getting on a the biggest roller coaster at the amusement park after spending a day on the kiddie rides... Would I do it again? Absolutely. Jeff's a terrific instructor, with a smile for everyone, unmistakable skill, and an obvious love of teaching.
