- "Integration of competition training and defensive training. I dabble a little in competition shooting, and know well it's value and cross-over to defensive shooting. And if we were to draw a venn diagram with a competition circle and a defensive circle, this course taught the competition side perfectly in the area where the circles intersect. I have never experienced this before in a defensive course. And had I been warned up front that it was going to happen, I probably would have curled my nose and started grumbling about gun racers and all the terrible tactics employed. But it turned out, the competition-related instruction actually dovetailed perfectly with the defensive shooting. As an instructor, I could not have done that. It was unique, and it was valuable." - Keith M
