Yesterday I had the opportunity to use his services one-on-one at the gun range. He was able to provide and teach me techniques on gun control and usage that will be with me forever.

In final, I qualified today at the Contra Costa County Sherriff's department gun range with a score of 177 out of a possible 180. Guess I need to practice some more. Thanks Michael for sharing your skills. Looking forward to our next meeting.
