Vinny was awesome. Definitely one of a kind. Builds confidence as a shooter and instructor by breaking down the shooter/instructor to come back down to fundamentals and basics. Vinny then builds the student to retrieve expert level knowledge in a short span of time.

The Bloodgood Training Group runs a phenomenal firearm training program, from handgun instructor, to red dot instructor, and rifle instructor. Vinny is a great instructor who knows his subjects and how to train police officers.

Great course with a knowledgeable instructor. By the end of the week, I felt more confident in my ability to diagnose shooters. As an added bonus, we got a little "armorer" presentation and an in-depth field stripping of a rifle.

Very good introductory rifle instructor course. Instructors were very down to earth and provided us with a good variety of information and range exercises. I appreciate the fact that the instructors stressed the importance of training the fundamentals which I believe is one of the keys to becoming a better shooter/instructor.
