I've been a member of this forum for several years but don't find the need to post often. I do feel compelled to share the awesome weekend I just had in the TDSA Advanced Combat Shotgun Course. The instructors at TDSA taught me things that I didn't know could be done with a scatter gun, from head-shots at home defense distances with OO buckshot to 50 yard shots with slugs and tons in between. The instructors are highly skilled, very knowledgeable, and overall great guys. I found the course to be practical for self offense/defense and competition. I even learned some great tips that can be used for upland bird hunting. My only regret is that I've waiting so long to take this class as I've been shooting shotguns forever but, in just two days with TDSA, my defensive, combat shooting, and hunting skill set increased several fold. I've spent lots of money on firearm training in the past and definitely consider TDSA's Advanced Combat Shotgun class to be some of the best time and money spent. Definitely Two thumbs up.
