to an adult audience.”
"The information was well presented, relevant and applicable to my needs. The instructors were very knowledgeable ... I feel this course was well worth the money and I am looking forward to the Defensive Range Course as well. Thank you to all the instructors for providing all of the content in a single, manageable day!"
