March

Very good, clear, understandable, straight forward, friendly

Facility: Bright, quiet and snacks provided!

James took a course which is usually dry and made engaging and interesting. Instead of just death by powerpoint, we had a vast array of guns to practice skills. We added charts to the text book and delved into history or questions as they came up. Overall, I drove in from Edmonton and feel it was time well spent. Thank you James. Your extra efforts to actually teach the course are appreciated! GP
