Highly recommend this course, TacHyve, and Joe as an instructor. This was my first course with these guys and it struck the perfect balance of instruction and execution. Joe was excellent at covering fundamentals and quickly scaling us up into more advanced drills. This helped build my confidence in the basics and get me operating quickly at the next level. A couple things really stood out. First, Joe explained his techniques and drills with practical context and a real philosophy. This made me feel like I learned a skill, and the why behind it and how I can practice and extend that on my own. Second, while we learned a lot, we quickly got to the fun part (putting it into practice). I don’t mind the classroom side of these courses, but its admittedly my least favorite part. Joe moved us efficiently through that and let us get out and practice. Third, there was the right balance of hands on coaching and also letting us just get out and practice what we learned. Throughout, I felt this was a high quality, safe, and beneficial experience.

We were blessed with Joe Farewell as our instructor, he was able to show in real time to correct some of the major bad habits many shooters have and were able to give some drills and tips on how to really test and challenge ourselves to become better shooters. I’ve taken this class before but yet was able to learn something new and some concepts that give you the lightbulb understanding to improve your game. These classes are so jam packed of value it really gives you a lot of material that you can take home with you and practice. Phenomenal class. If you put in your end of work, the class is worth every penny.
