I'm decently versed in firearms, I wouldn't say a gun nut but above average experience, but understanding your laws and when, and only when, it is fully acceptable to draw a firearm on another person is something you can never be too well trained on. She made the most out of a small space, taught hands on with everyone, very informed and qualified, with a good personality to boot. She was lighthearted and funny when the moment was right but pivoted well to talking serious matters when it comes to safety and understanding the laws. At no point in the room or by the instructor was I shoveled purchases down my throat or political beliefs, like I have seen happen at other firearm and/or training places. That was a relief, as the "hardened military muscle man with diehard beliefs and unmatched knowledge we heathens could never dream to fully understand" is something I've ran into on more than one occasion and is stale and frankly annoying. Nope, no BS, met everyone at their skill level and brought them up a measure. Instructor was a genuine person and knowledgeable. I will likely take more classes from here!

This was an outstanding class!…read more Dave and Rob did an excellent job! You can never train the fundamentals too much. Even very experienced shooters will get some points from this class and become better. I have been an instructor and have received professional training for almost 20 years. Dave and Rob are among the best trainers I have ever seen. They take time to identify specific ways they can coach and help each student, and then present information and coaching in an encouraging, supportive way. They create a fun, productive training environment which encourages people to try new things and see what works for them. They are very respectful, use good natured humor and will definitely take you from wherever you are and help you get better. That is the hallmark of excellent instructors! Take this class. Regardless of how good you are. You'll get better!

My two brothers and I did the VIP membership (it's kind of like a season pass where you get all you…read morecan eat courses). Robert and the entire operation are really fantastic. We live in Denver but happily make the drive down south towards Colorado Springs for his classes. They are engaging, practical, and we spend more time shooting than talking. Among the things we appreciated most was that he does not force "the one and only way to do X". Having done other training classes, Robert will show you what he recommends and why. If you find it doesn't work for you, no problem (as long as it's safe). For those looking at his course, know that you are moving, shooting, running drills. You work through scenarios and build up your skill sets from a single task to multiple tasks with heavy distractions. This is not the training where you stand in a line and fire. We did all of his classes except intro to Carbine. We even splurged for the precision Rifle and Advanced pistol classes that weren't part of our membership level. The three of us loved the classes and very much enjoyed working with Robert. I would very much suggest that anyone thinking of taking this class does so. To that end, we signed right up for that VIP program and thought it was more than worth the spend.

Full disclosure: I've known Robert for a few years and consider him to be a friend…read more I've taken many of his classes, and I've taken classes with numerous other instructors in the area. Robert is an excellent instructor. He's very good at focusing in on a problem and showing me how to correct it. He's very good at explaining why it's important to do it "this" way, and why it's better than doing it "that" way. In the time I've been taking classes with Robert my shooting speed and accuracy have increased. My hair has grown thicker, I've become more attractive to the opposite sex, I've received 5 promotions at work, and my Johnson has grown 10 inches. Okay. I made some of those up. But my shooting has improved significantly. An issue that Robert takes very seriously is safety. I've sat in classes where I was flagged by instructors. That's never cool. Robert harbors a super safe environment. I've never been uncomfortable in one of his classes. He starts every range session by reviewing his safety policy and emergency protocol. Robert is an excellent instructor and KTG is an excellent organization. I cannot recommend him or it enough!
