Title: Are These For Real - 302 Tac Ops Group Reviews
Post by: fdegree on September 24, 2012, 12:32:15 AM
If these reviews are true and authentic, then good for Bill...keep up the good work, and I sincerely apologize for what I am going to question next.

But...
...it seems a bit odd that quite a few people have joined this forum for no other significant contribution than to post a raving review of this course.  Am I the only one that sees this as a little suspicious?

If these are truly unsolicited, authentic, individual reviews then I once again want to apologize to you Bill.  Just write me off as an overly suspicious skeptic, and ignore this.

I would hope that's not the case: my wife and I are interested in taking the course.
Still, we're waiting to see reviews from folks who have been on the forum for more than an hour.

I'm glad you said what I was thinking.

I know the course reviews have been sudden but I do assure you these are all guys who have taken my classes. In fact these 3 guys where all part of my Sept 15th Handgun II course. I did encourage them to come on the site and give a full review but in all honesty I wanted it to be a single thread instead of 3 separate threads my apologies. All of these students are linked to the 302 Tac Ops Group FaceBook site if anyone would like to engage them further. We have expanded our course offerings the facility and the property we use so I would like to expose more people to what we have to offer and give people an idea of what it is we are all about. Again sorry for the sudden uptick in reviews I will try to keep the future guys on one thread. Any questions or comments feel free to contact me. Thanks WB

    I stand by my recomendation of the Handgun II course. 
    I used 302 Tac Ops CCW training for 11 of my customers, to meet the Delaware State Concealed Carry training requirement.  All participants were very farmiliar with fireearm use and only needed the class to meet the license requirements.  After the class, I persosonally spoke with 7 of the participants, and they spoke for the remaining 4.  They all had a great experience.  The qualifying part of the class was much better than they ever expected.

Sorry about the "hour" crack. What I meant was, I was waiting for someone we already know on the forum to take the class.

I would be happy to talk with anyone about my personal experience with 302 Tac. I am a new member to the forum, and a new member to the Delaware shooting community as well. Bill did ask us for feedback, and because I felt that the course was high-quality, I decided to give my opinion. Frankly, I think it speaks of the course because multiple people felt the need to commit some personal time and give a full review.

I can certainly understand the skepticism but I, too, stand by my review. Bill is a great guy, a better instructor and more than worthy of the recognition given in our reviews.  As in my original review, I invite anyone to reach out to me. Jeffrey.Shahan@gmail.com.  I am a normal guy, and thanks to Bill, a normal guy who's learning some good stuff! On the one hour/getting to know crack.... Reach out and let's get some lead down the range!!! Best, Jeff

I also just completed the CCW Course with Bill Walters and have to say he was a very good, approachable teacher.  Made it a very student friendly environment, and was good at explaining topics to us, after all he is the teacher we are the students.  Also, very very safety minded when it comes to handling and being around firearms.  I would recommend his course for anyone, because it also opens the door easily to get to know him and be on the inside when he offers his other handgun, self defence, rifle courses etc.

I took a private class with Bill in February ......excellant class. I had problems with my qualifying piece and Bill tried to correct the problem himself. After being unable to fix the problem ( gun had to return to factory) ......Bill immediately set up another afternnon to qualify shoot. He didn't push me off or delay in any sense of the word. I would take his class anytime again. I know there are many CCW classes offered by dozens of instructors. Some may be better then others. Have talked to a few other instructors and they all give pretty much same information. Presentation means a lot when instructing ........

I took the combat shooting course on 6/23 and got a lot out of it. I learned that about 25% of the time my sig would fail to fire on the 2nd round because of interference between my crossbread and mag release.  Should be fixed now.  I could take the class again just to test my fix.  You can learn a lot during times drills that you may not learn without pressure. I recommend this course.  This is an old post.  Any other new reviews?

Me & my wife just took the class and loved it - both the class and shooting parts. Bill & his assistant Mike are great teachers and were very positive about correcting our mistakes during our range trip. We look forward to taking more classes at 302 Tac Ops!
