About Talon Tactical South LLC

Rosene Ruschman, Instructor

Resident of Jasper, Georgia since 2000. Member and Secretary of the Pickens County Sportsman’s Club where I am the match director for the PCSC IDPA Shooting Sport monthly match. As of 2024 I organized the Have A Plan Georgia program to promote self-defense programs for female residents of Pickens County and surrounding counties.

Previous training, instruction and coaching experience in equine sports. In addition to hosting and training opportunities in self-defense, I am a certified instructor for a canine scent detection sport (NACSW) and currently training my first Search and Rescue) SAR dog in preparation for certification in 2026.

I enjoy a variety of activities including in canoeing, camping, hiking, archery, and especially canine sport events and multi-disciplinary shooting activities. I was blessed to have been under the tutelage of the top firearms instructors, especially my partner, Mike Benedict (Talon Tactical) who introduced me to the shooting sport community and provided the opportunity to learn the skills of handling firearms confidently, safely and accurately.
