Dustin Pluth – Instructor

 

I started shooting competitions in 2009 and the shooting bug got me from the start.
 
Shooting everything I could, every weekend I could. I wanted to get all the certifications that I could so I took classes and training under some of the sports top instructors helped me get to be at the level I am at today.
 
I still try to take classes or squad up with the top professionals when I can to gain any knowledge from shooting with them. I have trained with LEO and the military on reactive shooter engagements as well.
 
From there I went to work in the firearms industry for the past 10+ years. Working with companies both in the marketing, manufacturing side and the retail side.
When I’m not working I’m spending time with my awesome teenage daughter and family!
