It showed a level of open mindedness not often found with my previous firearm instructors.Ģ.) Everything he taught, he backed it up with a rationale. There were a couple things that stood out about the classroom instruction portion.ġ.) Mr. Then as the teaching section progressed we learned about tactical reloads, methods of charging and clearing the weapon etc. Everything was done in a well thought out and structured manner.įirst, we went through a slide show of the basics-field strip, lubrication and cleaning points, such as how to clean your gas tube without removing it. The facilities were top notch-I'm used to crappy class rooms rented out from the local shooting range, so, upon arrival in to Tom Perroni's Tactical Training Academy I was surprised by the professionalism. This was my first carbine course, so keep in mind I don't have a baseline to compare it to. Just finished Tom Perroni's Tactical Carbine Course and had a *very* good experience. I recommend the Commonwealth Criminal Justice Academy to anyone who wants to get better with a firearm – he can do regular shooting classes – but especially those who do security for a living or even part time.įigured I'd give this topic a bump. We even bounded live fire with pistols, something the SEALS do – we had an ex-SEAL in our class. The live fire exercises are exactly what I needed and then some to get me up to speed on the bottom line of EP. ![]() Tom did not issue range is hot until we had the drills down pat, so he runs a safe range (his medical bag always on him). We did executive protection drills outside with contacts with hostiles in a variety of scenarios at the classroom site, then we walked the same drills on the range and dry fired, and then we did it live fire on steel and paper. Tom’s critiques taught us how quick a benign looking situation can get nasty, and vice versa. It’d be great for any concealed carry class, too. These were very real scenarios, and they put your head in the “threat space,” which is a place you have to train if you are in LE, EP, or security. ![]() Going through the drills, we issued commands to the "threats" on the screen (huge screen on the wall), made decisions to draw or not, sought cover, and shot dry fire at threats. These were one-on-one sessions with Tom while the rest of the class was quarantined so as not to give the exercise away. The shoot/no shoot drills were based on time lapsed PowerPoint slides in a classroom. He had us shooting two-inch circles for a while based the aim-small-miss-small concept. So when we got to class, he taught us combat shooting basics (which are always good to go over again because of the little bad habits you develop) and then got high speed with executive protection shooting drills, shoot/no shoot drills, and accuracy drills. ![]() He’s taught at Bw and a host of other places, and he’s instructed first tier teams (and lower) all over. Tom is a shooting professional and an executive protection specialist, a former Fed security professional, and ex-cop. He added a lot to our classes – these were not the bear minimum 07 and 09E classes just to get the final tests done. It’s a brand new facility, and he’s got a flexible training program. So far as I know, it’s the only training center where you can shoot steel between NOVA and Blackwater. I recently finished my 07E and 09E training at Tom Perroni’s Commonwealth Criminal Justice Academy in Fredericksburg, Va.
