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.
