I do need to say though the terrain is pretty hilly and there was a fair number of holes so watch your step, but I was warned of this ahead of time. I'm fairly new to wing shooting and different outfitters, but the experience I had that day was beyond my expectations. I hunted as a single and there were 22 birds flushed, several doubles and a triple. Ashley was an amazing guide and her two GLP's really were great and able to hold point while we caught up. Her flushing cocker Boss was a machine who would not stop and was a hoot to watch. My only real issue was also with the signage, Barnsley was not real clear where the facility was located, and I was getting stressed as I felt like I was running late, when I called for directions it kept going to the outpost number and they weren't picking up, so, the day started a bit stressful. I think I see clays in my future.

The Valken Group arrived at my house just past 8:00 a.m., and when the team left 5.5 hours later,…read moremy understanding of firearms skyrocketed. I cannot recommend these guys with any higher praise. In one session, "Advanced Session Two," I went from knowing the basics of firearms to now having the tactical knowledge and high confidence in how to best handle and employ my firearms. Scott, my instructor -and also the Valken Group founder and CEO- walked me through every room of my house, instructed me on how best to take tactical positions, how to retreat, where to take cover, how, when, and where I would have to switch to my weak-side shooting hand to best keep the bad guys at bay. After completing the "Advanced Session Two" course, I went from a guy with a gun to a guy who pities the fool who tries to break into his house. It won't be a fair fight. Not even close. This is not overconfidence. Let me explain more about what I learned. First. Let me back up a minute. The Valken Group comes to your house anywhere in Georgia! They set up these backstops, target posts, and shell-catching side panels. No one else in the United States provides this kind of in-home instruction. This is where it gets super cool. Scott opened up this beautiful case loaded with modified Glock 17s. Check out the photo, especially the mags. The rounds are not packed with gun powder. They are called "Simunition," a non-lethal training ammo that allows you to shoot anywhere without the constraints and dangers of using live ammo (imagine shooting 150 rounds of 9mm inside your house). The military uses Simunition to go "Force-on-Force," allowing it to get as realistic as possible to real-life fire fights. The Simunition itself, as I understand it, are rounds packed with nothing more than air pressure, and the bullet is this little putty-like stuff that won't even penetrate a thick sheet of plastic. You learn to shoot in the comfort and privacy of your own home. Everything is tailored to your goals. From first-time gun owners to advanced folks looking for professionalization skills, the Valken Group will develop a program within their course offerings to ensure you achieve your specific goals. I signed up for the "Advanced Session Two" and let the guys know that I also had specific interests in close protection. Scott led me through multiple drills. By the end of the day, I knew how to hit multiple small areas on a target, I knew how to shoot controlled pairs, I knew how to count my shots, I knew how to do tactical and essential mag changes, I knew how to release the slide rack while staying on target, I knew how to move from different ready positions to firing accurately and rapidly. My knowledge, ability, and confidence have increased in ways I did not think were possible with a single day of drills. Scott also left me with drills to practice on my own. I wish there were a way to heap even more praise on the Valken Group. I signed my girlfriend and her dad up for training in March. I am going to take the next level course in January. Thank you, Scott and Jeff. I had a great day and I learned an immense amount about how to protect myself and my family when our lives are on the line.
