Green Eyes Tactical is running a 1 day "Zeroing and Fundamentals Clinic" this weekend at CCC in Cresson. I happened to see them listed on M4C, but don't know anything about them.

Green Eyes Tactical is NOT recommended for anything--stay away...
Facts matter...Feelings Can Lie
Does anyone want to quantify these vague warnings?
I feel like warning people off someone like they're James Yeager probably deserves more of an explanation than just a statement from people that know their voice carries weight.
Necropost bump.
I attended the Tiger Valley Carbine I class over the weekend.
TLDR. Based on my singular experience this weekend, I would not recommend this as a level 1 class. I could potentially see value in taking this class (at least the 1 day refresher version) if you are already competent with a carbine and want to do something different.
TJ seems like a solid individual and has a very impressive range facility. He has a 1K yard range, elevated structures (including a 5 story steel frame platform) to shoot from, an “obstacle course,” and a variety of barricades to shoot from. We also spent some time on a 150y range with a smaller wood framed (maybe 15 ft tall) that requires you to shoot from unconventional positions. The range also has the ability to shoot moving targets. He has a bunch of cool stuff that I’m sure is unique for civilians.
Two guys signed up for a 1 day refresher. Both were multi time alumni of this class. I was the only one who signed up for the two day. This was my first formal rifle/carbine class, and I probably tripled my lifetime round count through center fire rifles.
That said, there was no apparent learning objectives or standards for this class. There was very little critique or instruction and no contextualization to myself as a suburbanite. TJ brought us to all the spots mentioned above and he had us work it out. We shot from 25-400ish yards. We were given as much time as we needed for self discovery til we were satisfied. We worked out holdovers and wind correction at a variety of distances and elevation.
In discussion with a couple guys that have carbine training, there was a lot of topics that were not introduced or discussed in the class, including managing offsets, malfunctions, cleaning and maintenance, the utility and proper application of slings and optic magnification, BUIS, etc.
I have a few hundred hours of handgun training and 20 hours of shotgun training. Tiger Valley’s Carbine I seemed like more of a “guided experience” than a training class. I can see how experienced shooters would find value in getting access to these unique platforms and props.
The other students were satisfied with their experience.
