Shooting Testimonials
"I wanted to thank you for your time and effort you spent with Reid at River Bend a couple of weeks ago while he was learning to shoot. The time you spent with him and the
comfort factor he had with you was a bonding that is similar to father and son relationship. He definitely has the fever and is hooked, thanks in a very large part to you.
It also was great to be there when you heard the good news concerning your school team and their accomplishment in the championship!"

| Randy Seamon - "As a parent and coach I would like to say Jeff is a terrific coach. Jeff works well with
adults and kids, and you can tell he really enjoy every minute with them. Jeff has coaching techniques that kids can really understand. He started coaching my own son in 2008 and by
2009 inspired myself to become a coach and by 2010 my son shot on a five man team that won the International YHEC Jr. Shotgun Division Event. I'm proud to say that Jeff has coached
my son and has been a great influence to him and myself. We've become good friends as we both share a passion for shooting." |

has much experience in the field of shotgun shooting and will help you anyway he possibly can. He has been a great coach and a great friend." |

| P.D. and Ericka Allen - "Our son has a love for the outdoors, so when he had a chance to join his Middle
School Hunter Education Team he was beyond excited. Little did we know where that would lead us. This was our first experience with Skeet & Sporting Clay shooting. We had a lot
to learn and luckily we meet Jeff Allen. We cannot say enough about Jeff Allen. Jeff is dedicated, loves the kids, and always has their best interest at heart. Jeff has taught Cole
so much in such a short time. Cole went from shooting in the 130's to "consistently shooting a perfect score of 200". Cole shoot a 'Perfect' 200 as a first year shooter at
the NC State Championship. This would not have happened without Jeff Allen. As a parents the most important thing for us is that he is having fun and has a feeling of accomplishment.
I can tell you that Jeff makes everything fun and always finds the good in everything. No matter what kind of day Cole had shooting, he always came back with a 'Big Smile' about what
he had done good that day and what he had learned, not the bad. Jeff Allen has been a blessing to our entire family." |

| Cole Allen - "Jeff is so much fun! I love to shoot with Jeff every chance I get. He has taught me so much
about shooting. Not only Jeff but Bryson and Nolan too (Jeff's sons)! I am so happy that I started shooting and got to meet this family. I can't wait until my next lesson. I hope one
day I can teach others just like Jeff has taught me." |

Robin McDaniel - Although my son, Travis McDaniel had been exposed to shooting by the age of 6, when he would go hunting with me.
Travis’s formal training on shotgunning began later as part of the Hunter Education Program at South Davie Middle School. One of Travis’ coaches was Jeff Allen, the founder of
the Hunter Education Teams in Davie County NC. Jeff came to our practices and taught basic shotgun fundamentals with the kids on the teams; going over the fundamentals of shooting a
shotgun and the proper steps to take before ever calling for the shot.
Jeff eventually moved the class instruction outside onto the range. With the coaching expertise of Jeff and the other coaches, the South Davie team won a bid to the NC State
Championship in April 2009. |
Over the summer break, Jeff continued to work with Travis by setting up a skeet thrower and working at a skeet field
perfecting Travis’ form, gun mount, adjusting gun fit, and the use of different techniques for breaking different target presentations. As the new school year began, Jeff continued
mentoring Travis and his teammates with two kids, one of which was Travis, shooting perfect scores, winning the South Davie team another bid to NC State Championship.
We began the State Championship confident in our team and the kids approached the shooting line knowing they had the knowledge & skills of the sport that it would take. The team
walked away from the shot line one bird shy of a perfect team score, 99/100, setting a new NC State record and out performing all the top ranked teams in NC. Travis and three other
team mates shot perfect scores. After winning the 2010 NC State Championship, the next competition was the International National YHEC Tournament. I asked Jeff to work with Travis in
preparing him to shoot sporting clays. At the International YHEC in July 2010, South Davie shotgun team took a first place in the International YHEC with more than 60 points between
our team and the second place team.
I am so appreciative to Jeff Allen for his help and untiring efforts to help our son and the other members of the team in their quest to be the “BEST” shotgun team not only in
the US, but Internationally. |
