Chris James – February 24, 2021

I can’t think of a better instructor and curriculum to start with! Jeff’s approach to marksmanship basics will turn a casual or new shooter into a marksman in a day or two. Jeff breaks down all of the components of pistol fundamentals in a safe and fun way. What you leave with is a score on your performance, a list of things to work on and a HUGE amount of self-confidence with your firearm. If you are like me, you still have a lot to work on after taking this class before you work out the kinks but the important thing is you leave this class KNOWING what you need to work on and Jeff’s next-level courses allow you to progress down a predictable, measurable path to gain more skills and confidence. I cannot recommend Trident Concepts enough to everyone I shoot with. Get signed up for a class TODAY (they fill up quick) and if you can afford it, get a private lesson before or after your next class, too!
