      "Matt was awesome and his delivery of the material and drills that we covered and performed during our Pistol-1 training was spot on. We showed up knowing next to nothing, and 2 hours later, we left with a solid foundation of pistol operation and most importantly, a safety protocol, range & shooting etiquette. The wife and I can't wait for our next training event with Matt, Pistol-2. "
