PASSION & COMMITMENT

"I instruct people on the bodies mechanics and mindset when it comes to the use of a firearm and show them the difference between rights and responsibilities when it comes to training. I myself will always be a student first and instructor second. I continue training under different instructors and courses to bring the best I can for my students and cadre of instructors."

- Kerry Dugan Jr., Owner, Chief Instructor, Coach & Training Counselor

"Kerry is a awesome coach that has vast knowledge of the program (USCCA Defensive Pistol Program) and his teaching techniques are amazing. I look forward to continuing to work with him in the future. "

"Kerry is hands down my favorite instructor to work with. He is able to assess each of his attendees very quickly and is able to provide solid coaching advice to each. If someone needs a little extra work, he is very patient with them and meets them where they are, but will also challenge them to ensure growth in their abilities. These modules are also great for building a solid foundation in shooters at any skill level. Highly recommend the instructor and this content."

"Can’t say enough good things about Archangel Defense and Lead Instructor Kerry Dugan. If you’re looking to develop your skills no matter what your level, this is the place to do it. The main principles of performance based shooting and the defensive application are on point in the wash of terrible instruction out there today. I also must mention the emphasis they have on safety makes everyone feel assured they can safely develop and progress on the range."

- Neil B.
