Student Review:"Dwon is an amazing instructor, presenting the information in such a way that everyone in class got it, everyone. He is engaging and kept us building our skills until by the end we were all shooting Manual comfortably. Even the people who looked overwhelmed when class started were doing things I didn't think I would be able to do. He did what he said he would do, he brought everyone up to the advanced level. Great instructor!" -- Sarah M.
