WAR HOGG TACTICAL COURSE REVIEWS
From Myles of Tactical Hyve - If you’re looking for a class that will give you solid instruction on pistol marksmanship, check out Rick’s War Hogg pistol class. - The Final Verdict: RECOMMENDED
From Travis Pike (Gun Writer) - If you see a War Hogg pistol red dot class pop up near you, I highly recommend you jump on the opportunity. I’ve been using red dots for a few years now, but this class sharpened my skills and took my capability with the dot to the next level.
From Travis Pike - Classes with Rick Hogg are designed to get you to think. Think about how and why you shoot, think about your gear, your guns, and everything you are doing. You should know exactly what you are doing in all aspects of shooting.
