Are any of those 10 students spending time on other forums Brian? If you look around this sure isn't the only gun board where people are questioning you and epic posts like your last one are only fueling the flames on here. This forum has a lot more going on than this thread. We have over 800 + Hoosiers signed up in less than 6 months and some of the most involved "gun people" in the state visit daily. Training junkies to those who love shooting sports and people who just enjoy getting out on the weekends and heading to the range. We have plenty of LEOs and "Swat Team Members" on here. They seem to do just fine.
I'll agree there are some silly posts in this thread but some of the people who are calling you out probably have more training under their belt than your last class combined. Many posters in this thread have trained with some of the most well respected instructors in the industry. These are people with 20 - 800 posts. Comments made by those members hold a lot more weight with people than the guy who comes on and makes one post. There is no rule you have to post a welcoming message on INGO but if you want your posts to hold some weight with the community you are going to have to participate in the community.
I will step up to put in the time, ammo, and gas money to take your class and write an honest review here. I will do this because I hope to learn some things, I enjoy training, and I think some people around here respect me and my opinions. (hopefully) I don't have the training back ground of some but more than most.
I don't appreciate any notion that this forum is "BS"

At this point, he has chosen not to waste his time on the forums but has decided to take some of the material back and try to implement it into their training. Something which is more productive than trying to convince people whose minds are likely not to be changed regardless of what is said. Bottom line…The training speaks for itself!!! |
