He has a way of teaching which is based on science and physics; he knows how to deliver the information so that it's fun, memorable, relatable, and relevant. You walk away from the course with the hands on experience of knowing what you are doing and why you do it! His co-instructors were also amazing, Carlos and JP, all 3 instructors provided personal guidance to better yourself during the course. This one on one attention during the course really makes a ton of difference. You leave the course with relatable techniques which you can put into practice right away and see your percision and accuracy improve. Looking forward to my next course with them!

I've taken a number of advanced pistol training courses over the years including one-on-one, but…read morethis course far surpasses any courses taken by 'reputable' professional instructors and is definitely the best advanced pistol course I've ever taken. A bold statement for sure but I'm happy to sign my name to this critique. Our class was given detailed instruction on trigger management, pistol grip, mag changes under stress, left and right handed live fire in stressful situations, and live fire managing multiple targets and sizes from a shoot-house environment. Our instructor, Herfel gave his personal attention and critique to each attendee as needed for improving their pistol proficiency. This Advanced Pistol course with Valortec Instructor Herfel Torres is a must take for all pistol shooters looking to improve their shooting proficiency in real-life situations. Barry K

Dade City is now on the map for art! Sooooo impressed w/ what I saw & heard upon my visit. Months…read moreago (during the height of Covid), as I walked past this art gallery, I was greeted by the friendly owner. A lover of art (& someone who is appreciative of friendly people), I knew then I would have to return. Today was my lucky day. This gorgeous 3,000 sq ft gallery is owned by Russ & Lee Taylor-- a husband & wife team. Lee, a painter, spent many years as a local public school art teacher. Lee's medium is mixed media. Currently, 25 artists have pieces on display here & available for purchase. All but two artists reside in Florida. A few creations belong to one of my favorite artists (Lloyd Johnson of the Tampa area); they are sold here. Every piece in this gallery is handselected by the Taylor's. This gallery is perfect for anyone interested in abstract paintings, ceramics, jewelry, landscapes, leather, metalworks, mixed media, photography, sculptures, @ items of decor to brighten any home. The name of the business relates to the deep faith these business owners possess. The psalm painted within the gallery is "Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands." According to Lee, "As artists we make things with our hands, but more importantly, everything is truly out of our hands because it's in God's hands." A contributing artist here does not need to be Christian-- all (faith or no faith) are welcome for selection providing the art s/he creates offers positivity. This business is not merely a gallery. ART CLASSES are held weekdays & Saturdays for every level of artist (or future artist). There are also periodic art shows-- check out the gallery's Facebook page for more information. One dream of this lovely couple is to introduce art to the local community-- a goal they work toward six days weekly (closed Sundays). I love galleries, especially ones like this that showcase local artists from within our state. This beautiful, immaculate gallery is filled w/ breathtaking pieces that range in price from $10 upward. The space exudes incredibly positive vives-- such a welcoming physical space coupled with an exceptionally nice owner. I can't wait to return!
