Excellent experience at the Tactical Pistol I class by Safety Systems Group (SSG)
www.avoidthefight.com this past Sunday, July 14. The class was full with nine registrants, and there was the main instructor and two of his staff.
It was held at Nebraska Shooters Range in Firth, NE (great facilities). Registrants were mixed in experience from relatively new to tactical training to those with more experience. SSG took that factor into account to ensure a smooth flow of the instruction and drills/exercises.
The mix of group and individualized instruction lent great value to each participant. Being an educator, I was very impressed with how SSG built the course from foundational basics to full application of those basics in the end-of-day "4 standards" of specific drills that combined time and accuracy. After practicing them as a group, performing it one at a time with observation from peers added that extra challenge of staying focused knowing that others are watching while also experiencing and adjusting to the concomitant adrenaline pump.
This is a highly recommended course either as a first time or as a refresher; it is always good to receive a perspective of others who have had both excellent training and life experiences in the area of handgun tactics. The instructor is one of those individuals who has a lot to offer from both of those perspectives AND who knows how to offer it to others at their respective levels of experience.
I look forward to other courses from SSG.
