TESTIMONIALS

 

"I've known Paul for the better part of the last decade, had the privilege of working with him stateside and down range while part of 3rd Special Forces Group. 

Hands down one of the best operators and instructors I've ever known."

Alan Shebaro, Tier 1 Training

 

"Paul is a great instructor and possesses a wealth of knowledge regarding applicable tactics and shooting. Anyone who takes one of his courses will see immediate improvement and walk away meeting a one of a kind person."

David Cantong, US Army Special Forces

 

"Paul is a very skilled shooter and instructor. I was able to learn new techniques that has allowed me improve the shooting classes we offer our students!"

Carl Hill, Hilltop Arms

 

"Recently Paul has been working with me to refine tactical SOPs. This might not seem like a huge task however what he has done is taken 20 years of experiences (Ranger Regiment and 3rd Special Forces Group) and turned it into a mini version of intense tactical training. Paul’s ability to teach, coach and mentor has not only been instrumental for my professional development but has boosted my confidence in areas I’ve had minimal to NO training. I would recommend him to anyone."

Jamie Lynn Aguirre, US Army

 

"I had the utmost pleasure of receiving numerous hours of instruction from Paul Taylor on my recent deployment. His instruction is priceless in my opinion. My skills with a side arm and rifle have come leaps and bounds from where they were when I first met Paul. His style and approach to firearms instruction is unmatched by any of the privately run courses the Army has sent me to, let alone the Army schools. Thank you Paul for your time and expertise. My blade is sharper thanks to you. See you soon brother!!!"

Sean Taylor, US Army EOD

 

"Paul does a terrific job instructing. Even the most advanced shooters will learn something new! Great job Paul!"

Dan Dorman

 

"I had the honor and privilege of working with Paul Taylor from 2011-2013. Never in my 10 years of Special Operations experience have I met a man more tactically sound, a true master of his trade. His unmatched teaching and training abilities amplified my shooting skills to a new level. Thanks Paul!!!"

Eddie Novak, US Army Special Forces

 

"Wow! Paul really is the man. I recently took a class with my coworkers to further my knowledge with handguns. I learned more than I anticipated to be honest. Paul is an outstanding instructor with an incredible drive to go along with that. The outcome is just phenomenal. I am by no means an advanced pistol shooter with any tactical training, however Paul was able to incorporate tactical fundamentals that apply with the real-world situations I could possibly face. While Paul is a highly trained/skilled shooter, he is able to instruct any shooter with any skill level. I recommend Paul as an instructor for anyone who is planning on furthering their understanding and proficiency with firearms. I can't think of a more charismatic and trained instructor than Paul. I was more than pleased with my training. You definitely get the most bang for your buck (no pun intended)."

Dylan Harris, Hilltop Arms

 

"I had the privilege of working with Paul Taylor while in 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne). Paul was extremely mission focused and his attention to detail during mission prep and training was phenomenal. His knowledge in all aspects of marksmanship is very impressive and a testament to his hard word and dedication to his craft. Truly one of the finest Non Commissioned Officers I had the pleasure of working with during my 25 years of military service."

Vincent Vega, US Army Special Forces

 

"Paul's knowledge base as an operator is unparalleled. I have learned a great deal from his instruction and would recommend any competition shooter or unit that wants to get to that next level to add Paul's expertise to their training regiment."

Luke Gendron, US Army Special Forces

 

"Paul is a fantastic instructor! I recently took his Advanced Pistol Fundamentals class, and I learned so much! I've been shooting since a very young age, and have taken a variety of defensive pistol classes from several instructors. Paul's friendly, energetic and confident teaching style brought my training to the next level. He watched each student to identify any problem areas, and very clearly corrected them. Perhaps the most useful aspect of the training was learning drills to practice on our own. While I certainly learned a lot in the class, I am confident my skills will improve further if I keep using what I learned. 
Thank you Paul for the awesome time! I'm definitely planning on taking more of your classes in the future!"

Caitlyn Hill, Hilltop Arms

 

"First of all, Paul Taylor is a tremendous American and all of us were blessed to have him defending our freedoms for 20 yrs. And now he is helping folks learn how to defend themselves thru his stalwart, detailed, and energized instructional approach. Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to receive some instruction on the fundamentals (it's been a long time where I received wpns instruction and coaching). He walked me thru and emphasized the 12 fundamentals of marksmanship and how it applied to not only my M4 marksmanship but my handgun marksmanship. He has an innate ability to break down the fundamentals and components of proper technique so that it is easy to understand. Just as important while he is teaching the proper technique, he explains the WHY of what he is teaching so that it makes more sense. He couples that with lead by example illustration and shooting so you see what RIGHT looks like. If you are looking for an weapons instructor to get you started or to evaluate your technique and enhance it and make your marksmanship better (and your ability to defend yourself and your family better), don't look any further than Paul Taylor. Absolutely awesome instructor...and Great American! Highly recommend.
RLTW!"
Dave Weinberg, 75th Ranger Regiment/ Sua Sponte Foundation

 

"Paul is absolutely one of the the finest Instructors available. He has the ability to elevate your skill set to a superior place regardless of your level of training.
I would highly recommend that if you have the opportunity to take one of his classes.... You must do it!
It will be a experience you wont soon forget!"
