"I recently had the opportunity to take Perry Athanason’s outdoor defensive shooting course, and I came away really impressed. Perry is extremely knowledgeable, but what stood out most to me was how patient and easy he is to learn from. He explains everything clearly, answers every question, and makes sure everyone is comfortable before moving on. Safety is obviously a top priority for him, and he takes the time to explain not just what you’re doing, but why you’re doing it. I left the course feeling much more confident and with a better understanding of defensive shooting than when I arrived. If you’re considering taking one of Perry’s classes, I highly recommend it. No matter your experience level, you’ll learn a lot and leave a better, more confident shooter."

"John - Thank you so much for the thoughtful review. You did an outstanding job throughout the course, especially with shot placement and maintaining accuracy as the drills became more dynamic. It was great to watch your confidence grow with each scenario, and your focus on applying the fundamentals translated into consistent, effective shooting. I’m glad you enjoyed the experience, and I look forward to training with you again."

"My experience today was great. It was my first time at an Outdoor range and Perry personalized it to my skill set (2nd time live fire shooting). He challenged me with the curriculum and I came out a better shooter and it definitely built my confidence even more. Perry has an array of firearms, tons of knowledge and it was awesome to see him shoot too. Perry is kind, patient and knows how to correct you and explain how to do it better when he notices it. 2hrs went by too quick even under the hot sun. Thank you Perry, looking forward to the next one! It was a blast and a lot of fun. "

"Jan, thank you for the great review and for bringing such a positive attitude to training. What impressed me most was your growth in confidence, firearm handling proficiency, and especially your commitment to safety throughout the session. You were coachable, focused, and willing to push yourself outside your comfort zone, which led to real improvement in a short amount of time. You handled the outdoor range challenges extremely well, and I’m looking forward to continuing to build your skills and confidence during the next session."
