Gretchen McKee here, I have known Tim Carroll for a long time and can attest to his ability as an instructor and his faithful dedication to the philosophy behind Tigerâs training method. Tiger loved having the opportunity to train this man, âbrotherâ, and looked forward to passing along all he could offer. If you knew Tiger you knew he was a perpetual student but what few knew is that he was a mentor to many. Tiger knew that teaching should be the most humbling of professions because it shows you how much you donât know (that is, âif you are doing it rightâ), passing on what you know is how you keep a thing alive and that is what Tim is doing. I encourage this Facebook community to train with Tim at least one because once will turn into always. He is my trainer and, trust me, he has taken what he learned from Tiger and expanded it in the best of ways. I have given him full permission to use this space because he earned it and deserves it. Youâll thank me laterđ
Dear Shootrite Family,
My name is Tim Carroll, and I had the privilege of serving as an adjunct instructor here at Shootrite under the guidance of Tiger McKee. For anyone who trained here, you already know that Tiger was more than a fi****ms instructor. He was a mentor, a craftsman, and a man who carried himself with humility and discipline. He had a way of cutting through the noise and teaching the heart of a skill, not just the motions. His unexpected passing in 2023 left a deep void not only in this community but across the training world.
The time I spent learning from Tiger shaped me both as an instructor and as a person. He set a standard that went far beyond accuracy or speed â it was about mindset, responsibility, and respect for the craft. Those lessons stay with me to this day, and they guide how I approach every class I teach. My goal has never been to replace or overshadow what Tiger built, but to carry forward the same level of clarity, discipline, and excellence that defined Shootrite.
I continue to teach and share what I learned from Tiger through my own training company, LFX Training. If youâd like to stay informed about upcoming classes and training opportunities, you can follow me here: https://www.facebook.com/LFXFi****msTraining
This page will always remain dedicated to honoring Tigerâs vision and legacy. Shootrite was, and always will be, his creation. Iâm simply grateful to have been a small part of it and to have the chance to carry his lessons forward for those who never had the opportunity to train with him directly. Every time I step onto the range to teach, I hear Tigerâs voice in the back of my mind reminding me of the standards he lived by â and I do my best to honor that.
For those of you who trained under Tiger here at Shootrite, youâll recognize the same principles in my classes â the same focus on discipline, clarity, and respect for the craft. His influence continues in every lesson.
