10 out of 10
This is an amazing course for shooters of all skill levels. Everyone from military to civilian can get something out of this course. Josh works great with each individual shooter to safely push them to their max potential. I’d take any course Josh puts on. Semper Fi

Concealed Carry / Tactical Medic Review
“I highly recommend the courses offered by the Altus team taught by Mr. Josh Apple. I have attended two thus far, the Comprehensive Pistol and Conceal Carry courses. The courses work well as a matched set. As the Conceal Carry course dovetails in well with the information/exercise presented in the Pistol course providing shooting reinforcement and new information. The various exercises developed by Mr. Apple in each course illustrated my shooting decencies and ill practices. However, his constructive criticism and added suggestions provided after each exercise helped improve my abilities and built confidence. In the end I am a much better shooter after participating in the courses. In addition to the shooting exercise introduced in each course, the first aid instruction provided in the Conceal Carry course added to my basic knowledge of first aid acquired over the years. This information is applicable to emergency situations on and off the range. In sum, the time spent attending the offered course will make the attendee a better, more confident, and safer shooter.”

Useful Class
I would highly recommend taking this class. The information provided was practical and so easy to digest. Josh is a great instructor, he provides the information in a logical and gradual way to not overwhelm but still challenge. Getting to shoot the moving HEKTR target gave more realism to the scenarios and allowed you to think through the situation under stress.

EDC course
Josh is one of the best communicators I've had the privilege of training under. He has an ability to take concepts that seem complicated and make them easily digestible. The range is fantastic along with the accommodations. The HEKTR training robot provides a level of stress and realism that I haven't experienced before. Highly recommend this class.
