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.

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.

Patrol Rifle Instructor Course:
Instructor V. Rubio and Alex are true proffessionals. Their passion is evident and their knowledge is well grounded. The course hit the mark in taking a new operator to the patrol rifle and making them a competent, confident, and safe end user.
