Not only did he provide excellent gun safety awareness, but he goes into detail of explaining every little action and why it's important. Many times I found myself struggling and failing, but his effective coaching helped me to correct my mistakes and leave the training an exponentially better shooter. His diverse background in military, executive protection, and competition shooting brings together the best of all worlds into a personalized training meant for the every-day civilian in protecting themselves, and ultimately in winning a gun fight. Best of all, he has multiple trainings geared towards your level of proficiency--- I will definitely go back for his advanced class. Can't recommend him enough, whether you're a brand new shooter or experienced!

Pistol Dominance 2-Day was an incredible experience -- really putting into practice the 9 things to becoming a better shooter. What truly sets Fabio apart from other instructors is his ability to teach. He explains concepts in a way that's clear, easy to understand, and then reinforces them with drills and immediate feedback so you can make corrections on the spot. Highly recommend MyOwnDefender to anyone serious about improving.

The instructor(s) made everyone feel comfortable; the course content was relevant and well presented both visually and hands on.

Highly recommend this course and this company and my friends and I are looking forward to taking another class with Spent Brass in the future!

It's an outdoor range and…read morewe were in a private reserved area just for our group training; away from all the other activities on the range that day. Val is skilled instructor with military and law enforcement experience and accolades, too many to list. The course is detailed and well laid out with a focus on safety, as it should, and firearms fundamentals. Our class consisted of civilian shooting enthusiast that want to learn and practice skills, like myself. There were also law enforcement individuals who were there from start to end; goes to show that there is always something you can learn, improve and sharpen when it comes to this type of skill. This company has many courses from firearms to medical emergency training. I'm a fan of Spent Brass and looking forward to their next training.

I successfully completed the NRA Basics of Pistol Shooting Level 1 course with Tola Defensive…read moreSolutions' instructor Todd Larato. It was a pretty intense experience. My fellow classmates were an ex-sniper for SWAT and a gun enthusiast who takes 3 classes per month and has groupings that would fit within a silver dollar. I was overwhelmingly "outgunned," pun intended. I have no idea why these guys are taking a basic class, but I'm always up for a challenge! The upside is during the course of the day my confidence and skills markedly improved, in my mind in any case. For context, I've never shot using a pistol holster before, and my hallmark of marksmanship thus far was a Rifle Shooting Merit Badge from the Boy Scouts of America. Hot Shot Eagle Scout, swallow your pride once you completely miss the paper target! There was a steep learning curve with a myriad of skills including holstering, multiple targets, changing magazines to time, situational awareness, moving and shooting, I could go on and on. It was a packed day and a lesson in stamina too. I had issues with mashing the trigger, supposedly common with beginners. Todd was patient throughout, despite me holding the class back (repeat: ex-SWAT sniper!) Todd's instruction was thorough, precise and firm, which produced results. You don't want a laid back surfer dude "whatevering" you through life-and-death self-defense scenarios! Todd gave me insightful pointers and homework to review as I've taken my first step of a thousand mile journey. The course made me realize how little I knew about properly handling a pistol, in addition to the majority of civilians who own pistols. The class was priced reasonably to the point that it should be affordable for most people. All new gun owners should be required to undergo this course. Proper training is crucial for your own safety and the safety of others. Lasly, make sure to bring plenty of water, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, proper boots, and electronic earmuffs. You'll need approximately 300-350 rounds of ammo, which I purchased at Walmart.
