Just my .02 cents; I took this course last June and it exceeded my expectations in every aspect. Great curriculum and the final drill really puts it all together. Instruction was top tier. If you've never been to the facility, that's worth the price of admission alone. Great set-up; highly recommend.

I have been to the Pistol/Carbine and Carbine Instructor at USTC when it was BW I will be trying to hit up some courses in April/ May for some Carbine refreshers and some Precision Marksmanship.
The Facility is world class with a Range for everything and on site armorers to repair any issue to keep you on the range. It is truly a one stop shot for the serious marksman.

I took this class in May 2010 with Tom Alibrando and Tony Reeves. I hope to be able to take it again in 2011. It was that much fun. I have trained at other facilities, but I have yet to find a better training experience than USTC.

Besides their top notch instructors, the facility itself is top of the line. There are approximately 50 ranges including 2 Rogers Ranges and numerous shoot houses. There is a hotel and a nice dining facility as well.

The instructors are very personable. I have emailed Tom with gear and gun questions and he is very willing to let you bounce ideas off of him. They see a lot of gear and weapons and know what works best for your particular purpose.
