I just returned from Camden Tn. and thought I would share my experience for anyone looking for a place to take a class or two. I have always had hand guns and was fair with them probably average at least but I really didn't know what kind of drills or if my grip was correct from what I had looked up or read and I wanted a little more. So I signed up for way of the pistol and headed to tactical response. The class started out with James Yeager himself along with jay, Tim and Don all of which are very upstanding instructors that I will be taking classes with in the future. The kind of instructors that really seem heartfelt that you understand and comprehend the info that they teach. They never speak of the negative only positive for their teachings, unfortunately some of the things that go along with these subjects aren't fun or exciting but things that anyone that is willing to carry should know and be prepared for. I learned drills to practice and gained more skill than I thought I would. I also took away much more about life and mind set than I ever thought possible from a handgun class. I was surprised of the police officers and military people that were also there. I could go on and on about the class and also the instructors but trying to keep it short. I will and have recommended tactical response for anyone looking for firearm training some of the best money I ever spent. Just posting in case anyone else is like I was wondering what drills to run and if it would be worth the money. Thanks for reading and if you have any questions I'll try to help.

I would never train with TR or yeager....not with a company and trainers that willfully and enthusiastically defend dangerous training practices (stuff like placing photographers next to targets, and placing shooters down range from other shooters)......all with seemingly no defensible reason as to the benefit of such practices......i really dont want to catch a round in the back because some trainer wanted to be "hard core"....
now im surethe guy knows his stuff....but then again so do a lot of other trainers...

Never said that they are the only trainers out there didn't even say they are the best and I would agree that their style and practice is not for everyone. Thanks for reading

Thanks for the suggestion I am looking into some other places so I can get all the different thoughts and practices I can.

I have never been there but know some FNG's types that have. They say it's a good one, but again FNG types.
Only thing I know that's bankable, is one of the guys who beats his lips to the students was a member here long ago, and per others I would/have trust/ed with my life say he is good. Their word is good enough for me. Plus they say if he associates with them they are better than average.
Take that for what you paid for it.
This class was $1250 for 5, 8hour days but the days always ran long more like 9 to 10 hour days. This class is actually their fighting pistol for the first two days then the advanced fighting pistol the next two with a evening of night stuff and a half day of force on force.
