I have seen this before. Myself and Oddjob have worked with Kyle in the past. He is very knowledgeable and well respected instructor in the community. As far as FALCON is concerned, we have all come from the same mold and been there done that at one time or another. I totally agree with the perspective of, you could be the best operator in the world, but, if you do not have the ability to communicate with 20 different personalities on the line then what good are you as a teacher or instructor?
One of the areas, I belive, that FALCON possess over some of the other schools in the area is the ability to teach, instructor, identify and motivate each student on a individual basis and have each student understand exactly "WHY" we are asking students to perform certain drills. In addition to that, FALCON would never as a student to perform a task or drill without performing a demo and fully explaining the "PURPOSE" behind the drill. Again, as we have always said to anyone interested in participating in one of our courses or anyone who has taken one of our courses. If at the end of the day you feel as thought you did not walk away a better shooter or tactician then we will be more than happy to give you back your money as you get what you pay for. Kyle's statement is so true. Spend cheap, pay twice. You get what you pay for. But, if there was a place that offered quality training at a price that almost everyone could afford why would you not attend. Again, looking at the economy and logistical issues that play a role in what courses you attend is a major factor. Regards, FALCON |

SCT staff members are required to maintain a “show you” capability; nothing required of the students will fall outside of the following sequence: – Tell You – Show You – Allow You – Evaluate Performance – Repeat – |
