Tiger Valley Training

[dalto]

Has anyone done any training with Tiger Valley Training? Looks like they offer classes in Waco. I was wondering if anyone had any first hand experience and would recommend or not.

Next year I have budgeted money for a few classes and based on what I have read TV is at the top of list for me. I'm also planning on attending their bug out drill next year.

What are you looking to do?

I have only heard good things from people who have used the facility (all 3 of them) FWIW. I would like to take a couple of the classes they offer.

It seems everyone and their brother has hung out a shingle and claims to be a firearms instructor these days. I am extremely skeptical of "firearms" instructors. That said, The few of them I trust have nothing but good things to say about Tiger Valley. I would not hesitate to take a class from TJ at Tiger Valley.

I think if I get the press going and do it right I might be able to get the ammo for less

I am trying to get a sense of what they are going to teach. I might give them a call and talk it over with them.

Factoring in Class, ammo, hotel, and everything else it can get expensive.
