I recently participated at the Women defense course focused on safety gun handling and medical bag preparation, and I must say, it was truly eye-opening. As someone with minimal prior experience, I now feel significantly more confident in my ability to protect myself and my loved ones in various situations.
My wife and I had a blast during our last training, and I highly recommend this training. Practice makes perfect and learning gun safety and how to defend yourself in real life situations is important. At Release Point Defense you’ll gain this and more I promise you!
As someone who values personal safety and preparedness, attending the Defense Weapon Class was an invaluable experience. The instructors demonstrated a deep understanding of self-defense techniques and provided practical, hands-on training that left me feeling more confident and empowered.
have trained with Chris Allison on multiple occasions both on my own and with my 16yr old son in his courses. Chris is very proficient at pin pointing small issues that are affecting your ability to be on target. He is able to simulate potential threats and have you shoot under pressure with accuracy. Very professional and always safe. He has greatly improved my groupings and my confidence with my weapon. Highly recommend! Worth every penny!
The training Chris offers helps individuals become proficient with firearms. It's nice to have a person who severed this country share their passion and knowledge to people looking to better themselves. Thank You Chris for investing your time in us.
