“The Gunfighter Tactics course was awesome. I feel much more confident now about protecting myself and my family. I learned things I never thought about before. It made me rethink everything with the way I carry my pistol. Woody really made hard skills super easy to learn and apply by breaking them into simple to understand principles which was so amazing!”
