Learned a lot on short time!
I’m with the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF). In the beginning I was missing a lot of shots, but by the end of day, I'm getting all headshots or if not headshots, neck-shots which is a great improvement for me. I really enjoyed the course and learned a lot. I think it’s a great course!
