So I had the pleasure of taking part in TDSA's TR1 course this past Saturday and I have to say it was money and time well spent. Right off the bat the instructors told us that each individual would see a significant improvement in speed & accuracy and they 100% delivered.
It was a great atmosphere and we had a fantastic group of people, instructors and students alike. There was a lot of gear talk and "try this, try that" which was a great way to pick up some pros and cons of kit and rifles. The instructors were thorough in their explanations and demonstrations and when time came to pull the trigger and apply what we'd learned they were right there behind you with words of "encouragement" (all in good fun though). Lunch was also included which a quite an impressive spread and staff also supplied water and Gatorade which was much needed that particular day.
Now the question you're probably asking is "Well how many rounds did you go through?", the answer...A lot, I mean A LOT. 700/800 rounds easy and could have been more had I not had to stop and reload so often (maybe think of bringing at least 8 mags, you wont regret it).
So all in all what I'm saying is if you're thinking about it, whether it be the TR1 course or any other course as I'm sure you'll walk away with some invaluable knowledge, do it. Its a great time with great instructors who have a lot of experience to work with and I guarantee you will benefit. To Scott, Arron and the rest of the instructors, thanks again for a great day and you will be seeing myself again soon.
