My name is Angel D. Rivera Ramos, and I am a certified pistol instructor with a lifelong passion for firearms. In 2014, I survived a tragic shooting that claimed the lives of my two best friends. This experience made me realize the importance of self-protection. After recovering, I moved to Connecticut and immersed myself in firearm training. In 2020, my friend Nik introduced me to practical shooting. Through his coaching and extensive practice, I became a certified pistol instructor in 2021. I've learned from top shooters like Ben Stoeger and Joel Park, and developed my own approach to shooting. I specialize in practical and dynamic AIWB pistol shooting, appendix carry, concealment, mounted optic pistols, and performance pistol shooting. My goal is to provide clear, effective training to elevate your shooting technique. If you're interested in acquiring advanced shooting skills, join us!
