I will say that Chris and myself were very pleased with the class. We both thought it might end up being an over the top tactical class with people in vests and shit. We have both shot idpa style at his place and tried to practice some sort of real life stuff, nothing even comes close to taking a class focused on this. It was very well ran with ample jokes to keep people from getting up tight. I mean Hell there was even a super trooper reference at my expense. Yes we all messed up a drill at some point, laughed about it and tried to fix it next time. The mental games were great to really mix things up. I faired ok, not to tired but I can definitely tell I had to think. My head feels about like when I had to take my fe exam. One thing I will say is please take a firearm that you are familiar with. I put a new trigger in mine and hasn't shot it since, so I got the pleasure of figuring that out and learning drills. Also, make sure you load the firearm for the last drill so you don't unholster and hear a click. I offered to lay down and play dead. Bring extra mags, the site says 2 but 3-4 would be better especially if yours only holds 8-10 round. I will say that your life is worth the $100 for the class and you will be better prepared for life after. I can't wait until next spring/summer to take this again as I guarantee I missed or will forget information.
