Client Testimonial at Artemis Defense Institute
Dear Steve and Sandy Lieberman,
I wanted to express my gratitude for your services and the training I have recieved from Artemis Defense Institute since you recently opened.
For the past thirty years I have been employed by a large law enforcement agency and worked many differnt partrol assignments in many different places such as Firestone, Carson, Compton, and Lennox, just to name a few. I have recieved a great deal of firearms and defensive tactics training from my Department over the years and I have also sought out my own firrearms training at indoor and outdoor public and private club ranges over the past 25 years.
I thought of myself as a “better than average” shooter, until I challeneged myself in your training and shooting scenarios. I then realized that most of all my shooting training, on and off duty has been in traditional static settings where I normally have shot at paper and metal targets in ranges where the conditions are very controlled. I never had to interact, verbally, with the targets and none of them ever shot back at me forcing me to fight through the pain in order to control my trigger control and sight alignment.
I have also never had such an opportunity to “move” practicing my defensive foot work by continually moving (VirTra 300) to try and improve my position of advantage: before, during and after a shooting. I have finally understood the true menaing of the phrase: “Keep your head on a swivel” after I had been back shot a numbers of times in your scenarios: office, school, and bank.
Your training ideas and scenairos have forced me to ralized I have much more rooom for improvement and training that I must do in order to be a better shooter.
I have also enjoyed the type of professional training I have received at your Institute as it is not the typical Military type “boot camp” tactics where the instructor is God and just yells at the students. I have enjoyed the coaching mentoring style of your training melded with the legal aspects and ramifications in times I have used “simulated” deadly force too quickly or not accurately. I have never receieved that type of immediate feedback during traditional firearms training.
Your decision to open this school for law enforcement and non-law enforcement folks will probably save many lives down the road, but only if responsible people who own or carry guns avail themselves to your services.
That is why I have encouraged both my son and daughter (who are not in law enforcement but both own guns) to include ADI into their normal shooting training and practice.
Thank you again for opening my eyes and helping me to become a better shooter and law enforcement professional.
Sincerely,
Bret Parker
