Rimrock Defensive Innovations

Rimrock Defensive Innovations teaches what works. Brett built his curriculum from techniques learned at Gunsite Academy, Thunder Ranch, Mike Seeklander's Shooting Performance, and Front Sight—not from a textbook. Every class reflects real-world defensive shooting and competition experience.

Brett maintains a reading list covering handgun fundamentals, rifle tactics, shotgun application, personal protection strategy, and military history—all sourced from proven instructors and combat shooting experts.

"I did not invent any of the techniques I teach. All my techniques come from a blend of things learned from schools like Gunsite Academy, Thunder Ranch, and Mike Seeklander's Shooting Performance. If you can afford to travel, take their courses. If you can't, or want a primer before attending their classes, come see me."

Brett doesn't claim to be the source. He learned from the best, synthesized it, and teaches it at ground level to central Montana shooters.
