Besides Tactical Response is there any other places that you would recommend for training for medical prep or firearms training? I'm in STL Mo so Tac Response is only a 4 hr drive looking to see if there is somewhere closer to STL or if Tac Response is my best option.
Recomened training
- Thread starter Rob Hodge
- Start date
Everyone at tac response treated me like family. I'm not sure if Valor ridge has medical classes yet or not.
They got patriot nurse is all I know.
Rockwell tactical in PA seems to be good people. Haven't been there yet.
Some of the traveling trainers may be hosted in your area. People like Tom Givens, John Farnam, etc...
TR are solid and also travel to a lot of different locations. There are plenty of other trainers that should be on your "to train with" list.
A 4hr drive isn't bad at all, certainly not something to complain about. Friend of mine is driving from WI to Camden TN today, that's 9 hours I believe.
SET's very own DougieMac drives 6 hours to get to Camden.
ETA - Some of those others to train with, though there are MANY more I'm leaving out (just a top of the head list).
Farnam
Haley
Southnarc
Costa
Givens
Really you want to decide what area you want training in (h2h/pistol/rifle/long range etc) and then look for that class.

I took training through Suarez International and really liked it. They have traveling instructors that do classes all over the country.
I would say it's worth the 4 hour drive to take a Tac Response class. But that's coming from someone who lives 9+ hours away from Camden and is dying to get down there to train
I drove 9.5 hrs from WV to go to fighting pistol after working a 12 hour night shift and it was worth every bit of it.
