(t-shirt orders are closed)
Every year we offer two free days of training for anyone who has taken a class from us. The Alumni Training Weekend serves as an opportunity to have a Tactical Response "family reunion". Our instructors teach several mini-classes on the range and give lectures on topics that usually aren't covered in depth in our other classes. Past instruction has included specialized training in shotguns, knives, sniper rifles, carbines, pistols, backup guns, combatives, low light, and many other topics. The days aren't as fast paced as our other classes to give students more time to socialize with other alumni and the instructors. We have a great time and still keep the weekend educational.
