The following testimonials were selected from real students who trained with Gray Zone.

Was great to train with you this weekend and to meet Heather. I can speak, I think for everyone- having talked it around among the other students, and will say that we all learned quite a bit and that the instruction was professional, relevant and of high quality. While the atmosphere was relaxed, it remained safe at all times and there was a constant flow of solid information.

I will honestly say I was surprised as I had not expected the quality of instruction we received. I've trained, for decades, with many "nationally known" instructors and your presentation of the material and the material itself was as good as I've had from anyone, anywhere. We will be back and I will pass the word to everyone I know asking about training in the area that they need to come see you. Thank you for having us and helping us improve our skills to better manage the times we find ourselves in.

Steven is a fantastic instructor- his ability to tailor instruction based on an individual shooter's ability, diagnose the issues holding you back and give you the tools to make you a better shooter is remarkable. His non dogmatic approach, the ability to articulate the "why" behind a technique, and his very broad and deep knowledge base make him easily head and shoulders above many, many firearms instructors.

The individual attention is GOLDEN, Instructor was able to tailor each lesson to each individual to help teach and improve their shooting regardless of experience level. This class has greatly improved how I perform my duties as a volunteer church security member and in my everyday life.

Can't recommend enough. Gray Zone's approach to training is accessible, welcoming, fun, and absolutely professional. They know their stuff so well that novices and veterans alike were chomping at the bit for more after every segment. You will be better prepared, more confident in your skills, and have plenty to think about after you leave, and you'll want to come back over and over. I'll never forget my time at Gray Zone. Thanks Steve & Heather!

This was such an eye opening training. Going into it I was feeling pretty confident in my firearm abilities. After the first 20 minutes I realized just how inexperienced I am. I truly appreciate the opportunity to be a part of this. This is an amazing training. Steve is second to none on knowledge of tactics and how to convey them to the student. A very humble instructor with a knowledge base bigger than most big name trainers.

Steve’s ability to instruct and impart defensive pistol techniques is in keeping with the highest standards of pistol instruction in the country.

As a sniper and sniper team leader in the United States Army, we always knew our handguns might be the only thing to save our lives in an emergency. I wish we had access to this level of training back then. If you carry a handgun for home/self defense this class will set you up for success in every way.
