Anybody heard of them?
Instructors any good? Course material any good?
For some reason the name "Farnam" seems vaguely familiar.

Resumes did not seem that impressive (except for the Retired SF guy).
The former AF Security Forces guy listing a NDSM as an achievement is sad.
Winning may not be everything, but the endorsements are better.

I think the main issue is their Bios are not very well written. I can understand people not being impressed with some of the accomplishments, but I can usually get something useful out of almost anyone I work with.
If the right person would give them a little assistance, the information on the website would be more useful and sell better.

Sell better or not, their "expertise" seems limited no matter how you spin it.

Should'nt we be judging instructors who teach shooting by how well they can shoot, and how well they can instruct/project those shooting skills they have on to others effectivly?
Judging by the fact these guys run Steel and IDPA matches, I'm guessing they are prob more pistol oriented, which is a good thing if your a civilian.If your not, I'm sure there are better choices out there.

Not surprising. John Farnam has his own company DTI and has been teaching for longer than many other instructors have been alive.Originally Posted by Jellybean

The main issue as I see it is that there are TONS of solid teachers, who are great shooters, with impressive resumes , and real world experience out there that you can train with at a reasonable market rate available without much travel and with great frequency.
In that market, what compelling reason does anyone have to go with an unknown or questionable instructor ?

Everybody and there brother is now a "Tactical" firearms instructor.
It's like karate dojos in the 80's. Now there are even franchises popping up!
