“Samuel Middlebrook is a phenomenal teacher. He knows what is most important and how to break it down to the most basic, easy-to-understand level. He is a great instructor, and even better man.””

“Samuel has the incredibly rare ability to connect with students on a personal level. His approach allows students to conceptualize the practical, psychological, and physiological aspects of gun fighting beyond other classes I have attended. As a national firearms trainer myself, Samuel is everything I hope I can be for my own students.”

Lieutenant Luke Brandon — Washington State Patrol

“I’ve never met a man I trust more than Samuel Middlebrook. He’s a naturally gifted teacher and possesses an uncanny ability to speak to people in the way they can understand. I’m proud to call him a friend and mentor.”
