A fantastic start to the courses, I learned so much about the ballistic effects, looking to go straight to the advanced TC2, great knowledge.

Excellent Course Module
This presentation is short and to the point. The instructor is extremely knowledgeable on the subject and is very clear in his dictation and uses easy to understand terms. The course has lots of tidbits of extra information sprinkled throughout, which makes it both entertaining and easy to keep our focus (for those of us with short attention spans).
