"I am impressed with Ruslan Dyatlov: he is systematic, patient, rigorous, and positive. In addition, there is a subtlety and care in the way he chooses his words while explaining the basics of shooting. I feel that this is what sets him apart from most shooters -- the depth and care and attention to all the issues involved in making a shot -- and the ability to talk about these things in a subtle, precise and exact way. One immediately senses a higher level of understanding regarding the sport, even if as a beginner, one doesn't understand what he is saying. But Ruslan's patience and kindness in answering questions carefully is deeply appreciated by this beginner. I have complete trust and confidence in Ruslan's instruction and advice. Finally, his expressions of support have been most encouraging to me as a beginner shooter."

"I took Roulsan's class, Perfect Single Shot Fundamentals this fall. Day one was spent carefully reviewing the basics of good shooting and the 6 step process taught by the Midwest Academy. On Saturday and Sunday we went to the range and I was able to shoot a range of pistols with Roulsan's careful instruction. I had originally expected that we would spend our time on air pistol only, but Roulsan took the time to let me shoot 9mm pistol, free pistol, and my own air pistol.

I have used Roulsan's 6 step shooting program to drive my scores from 7's to, what should be 9's relatively soon. As important as the weekend we spent together was the time he has spent since working on my shooting technique and helping me buy a new 0.22 caliber pistol. Roulsan has been consistently available to me since the class and I know I can count on him in the future to help me reach my own shooting goals-9's and then 10's!"

"I chose to shoot Air Pistol because I really enjoy the challenge. I contacted Ruslan because I wanted to improve. What happens in the meetings with Russ is the clearest understanding of the fundamentals and how they work together to create the 'perfect shot.' Because of the time with Russ, all of my practice from now on will have the potential to be effective since I now have the tools to analyze and work on specific aspects of the process with an understanding of how it should be done right. I would gladly make this investment with Russ again without reservation. The future is up to me, but the right tools of knowledge and technique remove boundaries. Thanks!"

"Ruslan, your basic target shooting class is the best organized and most complete introduction to the fundamentals of bullseye pistol shooting that I can imagine. It is thorough and detailed and taught in a way that I can remember and use the information immediately. I recommend that anyone who is serious about learning to shoot a pistol take your course. Anyone who wants to compete in bullseye pistol on any level shouldn't waste time learning by trial and error. It's better and easier to learn to do it right - from the beginning."

"I have taken several classes and always considered myself a good combat style marksman... It will shock even a seasoned gunner once you begin to learn the fundamentals taught in his class [Ruslan Dyatlov - Chief Instructor]. He is very much a tactician and fundamentalist when it comes to teaching, and you will be very happy with the end result."

"Mr. Diatlov helped correct all of the bad habits that I have accumulated during my 30 years of shooting. Consequently, my proficiency level has reached that of a competitive shooter. I am thankful for his coaching and regret that I did not have this coaching earlier on in my shooting career."

"In just two hours at the shooting range with Ruslan Dyatlov I went from not being able to hit target at all to scoring 89 out of 100 points."
