Course Reviews:

Randy:

I am not new to firearms, but I quickly found out that I didn’t know near what i thought i did. Under their instruction my depth of understanding ballistics and firearms has grown tremendously. Added to that my operational skill set is far beyond what i thought I could attain in such a short period of time. Once you really think about who you are being trained by, this is a rare opportunity. This isnt a bunch of retired mall cops teaching you, these are special operations guys with enormous amounts of real time behind a firearm. I almost still cant believe that the public has such an opportunity at their finger tips. Read More:

Arlo:

This course easily taught me more than all the other pistol classes I have taken combined. Jumping into the intermediate course would have been a huge mistake, I would have only cheated myself of a ton of classroom knowledge, not learned the tricks Chris taught me to tighten my groups, and been totally lost running the Aegis Drills at the higher level..
