Good morning,

Has anybody taken the above course at Tri-County Gun Club in Sherwood, OR?

If so, what are your thoughts? Is it worth the $225?

Isn't that the place where they freak out for pointing your gun over their berm?

Yes, it is. I took the class about 2 years ago. For context, I've taken lots of training courses with well known instructors (but am still a pretty crappy shooter). Although the class was on the basic side, Overall I feel it was $225 well spent. I learned things that I was not aware of with regard to running a handheld light along with a pistol. It was convenient for me, because I am a member at TCGC and it's pretty close to my house. I would not travel 3 hours and get a hotel room to attend this class.

Wear thick socks, the gravel at TCGC sucks all the heat from your feet.

+1 on what @Nocaster said and mirrored my experience as well.

My question is who is Terry Marles and what are his bona fides/qualifications? Former LE, military, old geezer with a gun, what? The only thing I can find online states:

"Lead Instructor
Full bio is inbound. But don't worry... Terry is an extremely qualified, well-liked instructor"

And that is on a site with the "Lead Instructor, Founder" is a chick posing on helicopter carrying a AR without sights or an optic.

For example, the last LL class I took was a Steve Fisher Sentinel Concepts LL shotgun class for $275 up at FAS and it's pretty easy to figure out who he is and has done.

I took an abbreviated LL class with him when TCGC used to have a ladies league. It was very well run and very beneficial. He is a good instructor. Can't address the full course although a friend of mine took it and thought it very worthwhile.

I agree, and should have mentioned, that the course was well run.
