Bernice Z. (Head of School): "The Active Shooter and Situational Training with Allan was fantastic! Allan came to our school to train our staff and it was so beneficial. The hands-on training and clear and thorough instruction empowered all in attendance with the confidence to be able to handle an emergency situation should one arise. Strongly recommended!"
Ergin E.: "Outstanding Firearms Instruction"
"I came to Allan with no prior experience in shooting, and he has taken me to a level of true confidence in handling firearms safely, accurately, and efficiently. Through his instruction, I’ve developed strong fundamentals in both handgun and rifle shooting, improving my speed, accuracy, and decision-making in static positions, movement, and various cover scenarios. We trained in both indoor and outdoor ranges, allowing me to adapt to different environments and conditions.
What sets Allan apart is his commitment to quality instruction. He tailors his approach to my learning style, adjusting techniques when needed to ensure I fully grasp each skill. He goes beyond just teaching what’s expected–he genuinely cares about my progress and provides guidance on everything from firearm selection to situational awareness and gear recommendations, always with my best interest in mind.
Beyond range training, I also worked with Allan on Home Defense. He came to my home, assessed different scenarios, and customized training to ensure my family’s safety. He even trained both me and my wife, making sure we were prepared for real-life situations with practical, scenario-based drills. Additionally, he incorporates emergency bleeding control techniques into training, ensuring I’m prepared for real-world emergencies.
His communication is always clear, respectful, and professional, making every lesson engaging and productive. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed both private handgun and rifle sessions, and his thoughtful surprises–like small accessory gifts–are just another testament to how much he values his students.
If you’re looking for an instructor who prioritizes your safety, skill development, and overall preparedness, I highly recommend Allan."
