What Our Clients Say

Richard T.

"Class 5/27/25 Doug was an excellent instructor. He was very knowledgeable and took time to answer all our questions. On the range Doug talked about range safety and helped me with a couple questions about my basic shooting skills. "

Richard T.

Keith S.

"Doug is an excellent teacher. His lively and efficient class kept the students’ attention, despite the rather dry required content. His range guidance was a bonus, teaching us concisely about optimal grip—a critical element of handgun shooting performance. Students were engaged and grateful—not what I expect from a recertification class. Highly recommend Doug and the super clean Fox Valley Range in Elgin. "
