"I just finished a two-day training course with Teo, and he is a phenomenal instructor. I left the class feeling a lot more confident in my skills and weapon handling. Safety and Fundamentals We started the course with a solid touch-up on range safety and basic shooting fundamentals. It was great to lock down those essential mechanics before jumping into the more advanced parts of the training. Teo kept the range safe and professional the entire weekend. Practical Drills Over the two days, we covered a lot of practical, real-world skills. The curriculum was packed but very easy to follow. Some of the main things we focused on included: Shooting on the move and taking proper cover Working around barriers and perfecting clean reloads Learning the proper way to diagnose and clear weapon malfunctions Training in low-light environments Practical tourniquet application and situational awareness The Stress Test Toward the end, Teo put us through some great stress-test drills. These exercises forced us to combine our shooting mechanics, malfunction clearing, and medical skills under pressure, which really showed us what we need to work on. Teo's teaching style is excellent. He is highly observant, gives clear feedback, and genuinely wants his students to improve. If you are looking to build solid, practical shooting skills and boost your confidence, highly recommend training a class with Teo."
