You Suck! It's Not the Gun!®

This class is a foundational opportunity for those of us who didn’t grow up around firearms. The team covered everything I thought they would and more. I was reassured by their thoroughness in teaching safe handling. Their default safety standards exceeded my expectations. How they would handle any medical emergency that could happen when a couple dozen people gather for any reason was next level. As someone new’ish to firearms my two goals are safety at all times and accuracy for the sake of safety which meant I felt very comfortable being there.

The opportunity to be watched and guided by more than one instructor throughout the day was very beneficial as they were all supportive and ready to offer advice at all times. I’d recommend this class to anyone whose goal isn’t to be just a gun owner but a safe, proficient, responsibly armed citizen. The investment in yourself is worth it.

I took the May 4th YSINTG class. I was very impressed with the trainers and the subjects covered. I'm definitely going to train with the processes they taught & will take the class again.

I have taken You Suck, It's Not the Gun twice now. I have been a hobby shooter my whole adult life and I learn something fun and helpful each time. I would HIGHLY recommend this class if you want to refine your shooting process and develop drills for more productive practice sessions in the future. Total blast of a class.

This class is one of the best classes out there for an introduction to shooting a handgun well. This company is one of the most focused groups on responsible gun handling I have ever met. I have never been more confident that I was in good hands.

The class is tough. It is physically and mentally rigorous. Though the topic and concepts are simple, they are not easy. The cadre are excellent at giving one-on-one instruction and group instruction. They make the learning environment fun, safe, and educational. The cadre don't just show you how they like to do things. They show you a bunch of different methods and explain why each one works or doesn't work. They encourage you to try different things (as long as they are safe) to figure out what works best for you. These aspects are all so valuable.

There are drills and workshops built into the training material that get rid of ego and show where you really struggle and need work.

You leave the class knowing exactly what to do to improve, and exactly how to do that. If the teaching is applied, you will be a better shot than most people who carry a handgun.

Like every MDFI course I’ve taken, You Suck! It’s Not the Gun! was exceptionally well-instructed and thoughtfully structured from start to finish. The class begins with a strong focus on the foundations of precision shooting—pinpointing and correcting shooter-induced errors—and gradually layers in more complexity with each drill.

The instruction was top-notch, with the cadre delivering clear, constructive feedback throughout the day. What stood out most was the progression of the course: each exercise built directly on the last, reinforcing key skills and preparing us for the final, all-inclusive shooting evolution. That culminating drill really brought everything together and showcased how much each shooter had improved.

This course isn’t just about shooting—it’s about accountability, consistency, and discipline behind the gun. If you want to tighten your shot placement and gain a deeper understanding of what’s helping—or hurting—your performance, this class is a must. Another outstanding experience with MDFI, and I’ll absolutely be back for more.
