My first lesson with Mike was exactly what I wanted! He took me through the basics of safety, grip, and stance then we moved into live shooting. I had concerns about my grip due to a joint issue but he put the right size guns in my hand, guided my shooting and made me feel like a natural. Most importantly to me, he explained the WHY behind everything, which is the best way to learn. Excited for continued sessions and hopefully becoming a great shooter. 🙌🏼

I had a great pleasure to say training with Michael Kneuer made my first time learning all the important details about using a fire was great, he gave every detail i needed to be know the dos and don't of using a fire arm. I felt very comfortable with him, I would definately recommend anyone to train with him. My mother will be the next in line to train with him. Suburban Protector is the Best......

It was great having you train with me. Keep working on your grip and you’ll be good to go! Looking forward to next lesson and teaching you how to draw from a holster once you get your gun.

Mike was an amazing instructor, being new into guns and shooting it’s still a learning curve that I need to get used to and he was very kind and showed me things that I needed to work on without making me feel bad about myself or my current level and skills. I really enjoyed having him instruct me on basic gun safety and better shooting form. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking into getting either their license or looking to get taught!

You did really well. With some more intentional training you’ll be a very good shooter! Looking forward to being part of your journey.

Second training session with Mike and there will certainly be a third. He doesn’t just run down a list of drills but actually provides individualized instruction and coaching. Mike paid close attention to grip, stance, movement, etc and demonstrated how to adjust. Making what felt like small changes ended up yielding big improvements

Thanks Matt! It was great having you back on the range with me. Next time you go to the range focus on the presentation and indexing your finger under the trigger guard while your hands are still close to your body. You improved a lot in a short time yesterday.

You did great Dustin. Your fundamentals are sound. Looking forward to next session hopefully at our outdoor range in Okeechobee so we can run some more realistic scenarios and camp out.

I am fairly new to shooting and was nervous about handling a gun. Mike listened to all of my concerns and brought me in with all of that in mind. He showed me everything I needed to know and made me feel comfortable throughout the lesson. He provided all of the equipment and let me shoot three different guns, explaining the difference between each. It was well worth the time and money, giving me the confidence to move forward with potentially making my first purchase. I will continue to consult with him throughout my growth with shooting.

Thanks for the review Todd. With some minor adjustments to your grip and trigger interaction you improved a great deal within the hour. Hope to see you again real soon and help you pick out a firearm.

Mike was absolutely amazing! He took the time to patiently walk my mom through all of the necessary firearm safety precautions and made sure she felt comfortable and confident throughout the entire experience. He personally walked her through her very first trigger pull, explained everything step by step, and continued working with her to improve her aim and overall confidence. You can tell Mike genuinely cares about teaching the right way—not just getting someone through the session. His patience, professionalism, and attention to detail made this a great experience for my mom.

I took a Concealed Carry fundamentals course this weekend and our instructor Mike did a phenomenal job! The program was packed with info. Mike is a great teacher who clearly explains not just what we should do, but why that principle is important and effective. Each lesson was built on top of the principles from the previous lesson and then drilled on the range. I left a far more confident and proficient concealed carrier. I highly recommend Suburban Protector and any courses taught by Mike and his partner Greg.

Thanks Szymon. That private outdoor range gives us room to run drills you just can't do in a lane, and getting people on the right path is the whole point. Glad you got value out of it. Come back and train with us anytime.

I came in as a complete beginner with zero experience and honestly a little nervous, but the team at Suburban Protector made me feel comfortable right away. They explained everything clearly, were very patient, and focused on real-world safety and confidence. By the end of the session, I felt way more capable and informed. Highly recommend for anyone starting from scratch.
