Attendee Commentary...
I have attended three Badlands sniper
courses. The first I paid out of my own pocket. The next two were
when I brought my department's sniper teams to their basic and
advanced courses. I had learned so much at the school, I decided to
make their course of instruction the basis for our sniper program.
The instructors are first rate, and the courses give you information
and experience that can save lives. I know several officers whose
lives were probably saved in part with the help of these courses. I
recommend them without reservation.
