"Doug Zurbriggen was our instructor and did a great job! the 3 hours flew by and was extremely informative. I will be taking a private lesson or two with Doug soon."

Keith S.

"Doug is an excellent teacher. His lively and efficient class kept the students’ attention, despite the rather dry required content. His range guidance was a bonus, teaching us concisely about optimal grip—a critical element of handgun shooting performance. Students were engaged and grateful—not what I expect from a recertification class. Highly recommend Doug and the super clean Fox Valley Range in Elgin. "

Keith S.
Jeffery K.

"Doug put on a great class. Not only was his class informative; he took time to show the class additional steps to take to improve skills and engage the class in critical thinking. "
