I have been around guns all of my life, but I purchase a handgun last year out of interest in the hobby of shooting and home protection.  I attended Doug’s class because I wanted to get training in the proper use and safety associate with the ownership of a firearm.   The class that Doug gave was an excellent presentation of what I was looking for. His style and approach to training was thorough and thoughtful.  I highly recommend Hat Trick Training to anyone serious about learning about the proper use and safety of owning a firearm.

Thanks again Doug for a great class! I will get my WI application in the mail next week and will keep you posted. Great class and I will certainly spread the word. 

I enjoyed the class and I learned more than in my first class. This was my 3rd class I have taken and the first with you.

Doug Taylor’s class was very informative and he was very thorough in safety, laws, and how to be a responsible gun owner.

I want to especially compliment you for sharing your gift of being able to size up what it will take for each student to be successful, and then to help them find that helpful practice. I know that Jon and I both appreciated the guidance you gave on how to place our hands when firing, to achieve the most consistent accuracy and comfort. I know, too that we both really appreciated that you offered alternatives to our daughter Hannah so that she could be a reliable shot as well. Clearly, what we had to offer was the wrong fit for her. Now she knows what will suit her best as she purchases her own personal firearm. While we all understand that you were not offering true legal advice during your presentation, we also really appreciated that you listed statutes and circumstances that we can look up and refer to as we seek to obtain further HRO protections for our family in our neighborhood situation.
