Kraken Knife

An excellent introductory course that covered everything from the proper set up needed for a precision rifle, to the science involved in long range target engagements and hands on time at the range to put the lessons into practice. The class room portion was clear and at a level that all could understand. Instructor to student ratio allowed plenty of time for thorough questions and answers. Overall, the lessons learned during this class will be very beneficial for upcoming hunts and work related applications.

I had the pleasure of being able to attend this training through my agency. After having gone through the course, I would recommend Jim to any shooter looking to improve their fundamentals and efficiency with a handgun. Jim was very professional and provided excellent critiques and techniques.

I had the privilege of spending an afternoon training with Jim, and highly recommend him to anyone wanting to level up their shooting accuracy and speed.

I attended a two day course with Jim focused on pistol training. I can’t say enough about Jim and the experience as a whole. My mechanics and shooting improved drastically in a short amount of time. Jim is a very capable teacher, and his passion for shooting and sharing knowledge is very evident. Not to mention you probably won’t go any longer than a few minutes before the next laugh. This was not my first class with Jim, and it won’t be my last.

I took the Tactical Pistol Class offered by Jim in Scottsdale in December 2022. He presented a lot of valuable information throughout the course and made sure to present it in a way that was approachable by any level of shooter. His emphasis on ensuring that the course material fit each participants needs extended through both the instructional portion and the range portion. On the range Jim was able to quickly gauge each participant’s skill level during each drill and give personalized suggestions for improvement.
Jim’s resume speaks for itself, but his laid back, friendly, and personal approach to teaching the material is what will bring me to another one of his classes when he is in town.
