    "Ray was an excellent instructor. This class had varying degrees of skill and he got everyone comfortable enough to get into student mode. Class was clear and concise. I now feel much better about using my shotgun as a defensive tool. Ray you are the MAN. "

    "Loved the class. Was taught a whole lot on the shotgun in both how it works and how to use it. I knew hardly anything shotgun but feel a whole more competent after this class. Must have class if you own a shotgun. We'll worth the money. "
