I had the opportunity to take a one day course with Rob on Sunday (4/5) and it was very enlightening and challenging. How did I do? I think I did OK. Rob showed me some things I was doing to short change myself and told me to "fix myself".
If any are thinking or planning to take a course from him here is what to expect:
He does have a sense of humor and it often will come at your expense.....I speak from experience.....
But it is nothing one can't handle.....
He will hurt your feelings and tick you off (if necessary). But one gets the sense he's doing this to help one get better. Never for one second did I sense that he had anything other than my best interests at heart. In short, he has no problem getting in your face to make you a better shooter.
He is very open and willing to answer questions and give advice. He told two of the students the gun they had didn't work for them and told them why. Then he offered one one of his pistols to try so they could see the difference. I thought that was very professional of him...
What I appreciate the most about him is his dedication to the science of shooting in a self defense scenario. When one is around him, one will notice very quickly that what he says is laid upon a foundation of research in the field and in more formal academic arenas.
To conclude, I can give an unqualified recommendation for taking a course anytime he comes near your area. I will definitely take another from him!
