Reviews from former students
” This is my second class with OTG and my third with Bill Toy. I have trained under several other instructors, but Bill brings the full package when he teaches.”
“…drills were effective and realistic, reinforced fundamentals, and pushed performance.”
“I learned more in 5 days at this course than in 13 years of in-service training!”
“This was not a normal class where you showed up and signed in. I had to push my abilities outside of my comfort level and enjoyed every minute of it!”
“I haven’t had as much fun or worked as hard in a class as this one. Other Instructors teach to exceed your standards…”
“One of the best classes I have been to”
“Without a doubt, the best law enforcement training I have attended.”
“If you get an opportunity to take the rifle instructor course put on by OTG, do it! Bill Toy and Troy Hooker are very competent instructors. Both instructors have an extensive background in the military and law enforcement. I had never met Bill until this class and by the end of the first day it was like we had known each other for years. He is that laid back and not over bearing. The best take away I have to pass on to you is that you will feel like an equal during the week. Neither instructor will belittle you in anyway as they both remain at a respectful level. I knew I needed to work on my rifle instruction skills before taking the class. What I didn’t know was how much. This course WILL test your mental and physical being, so be in good shape and hang on because you will not regret it. Great job Bill and Troy” – Sergeant Keith Sanders/Murfreesboro Police Firearms Instructor
“This course was excellent in all aspects. I dusted off some techniques I had not used in several years. I also learned a lot of new techniques. The techniques were practiced in force-on-force. The instructors were professional and their knowledge was exemplary.”
“Both instructors taught with a sense of purpose for the students because it came across that they teach this to help save officers lives.”
“The instruction was leaps and bounds better than any TLETA class. The amount of passion in the instruction was evident.”
“A peer recommended this course and provided insight on what I should expect. The course exceeded those expectation.”
“This course exceeded every expectation that myself and my department had.”
“All the instructors were professional and provided information and context in a great way. Instructors tailored their comments to each student.”
“It was like drinking from a water house. There was so much knowledge transferred, with many tools and critiques given to make us and our agencies better. This course exceeded my expectations.”
“I expected the classic police-related course with low expectations of the students. This course was NOT that. I appreciate the expectations set forth and the standard that was held.”
“This class offered the best firearms training I have ever been given.”
“Attending this class raised what was already a high bar. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a class.”
“I had heard good things about this course before attending. The combination of instruction, demonstrations, benchmarks, drills, exercises, and honest valuable prepared me as a Firearms Instructor better than I had expected.”
