FIREARMS:
Euro Tactical has an excellent selection of firearms.  I personally used a glock 17 and glock 19 pistol and also 2 variants of an AK47 – one with a folding stock.   The firearms were very well maintained and both of the AK’s were nearly new.
When discussing requirements for my course with Euro Tactical I was asked whether or not I wanted to shoot a wider range of firearms which were available on request from the large variety of firearms in Euro Tactical’s armoury.

FACILITIES:
The range facilities at Euro Tactical are excellent.  The range has up to 10 firing points which run out to a range of 100 metres.  The range is covered and heated and therefore allows for shooting in all weathers.  There is also a very comfortable club house.

ADMINISTRATION/BOOKING OF YOUR
COURSE:
Euro Tactical was recommended to me by my rifle shooting instructor in England.
After he made the recommendation I went on to Euro Tactical’s website and then called and had a short conversation with them about my requirements for a 3 day bespoke course over the Easter holiday.
The office was very knowledgeable and came back with an email the same day setting out a programme which they thought would suit my needs together with a price and details of accommodation.
The programme was exactly what I required and the whole booking process was completed within a couple of days.
Including pick up and drop off from the airport and accommodation.

ACCOMMODATION:
Euro Tactical provide a spacious town house with self catering. The accommodation is first rate with excellent bedrooms and a very pleasant lounge. Extremely well equipped kitchen, solid fuel stove in the lounge is wonderful.. bedrooms are airy, bathrooms superb..

WILL YOU BE RECOMMENDING EURO-TACTICAL:
I would unreservedly recommend Euro Tactical for firearms training.
I am a 54 year old lawyer working as a partner in a City of London law firm.
I have never been in the military and my only experience of shooting before attending the Euro Tactical course was with shotguns and bolt action rifles as I am keen deer stalker and game shot.
The three day bespoke course provided by Euro Tactical allowed me to gain a significant level of skill with both glock pistols and AK47’s which I can build on.  The best endorsement I can give is that I have booked a similar 3 day course over the May day bank holiday and I hope to be attending Euro Tactical courses on a regular basis going forward.

HOW DID EUROTACTICAL COMPARE WITH OTHER FIREARMS TRAINERS YOU MAY HAVE
USED IN THE PAST:
The trainers at Euro Tactical are first rate.  Ian my instructor spent most of my time with is a former Royal Navy WO1.  The training he gave me on pistols was excellent and allowed me to go from a complete novice to passing 2 military pistol competency tests and the Association of Chief Police Officers pistol test (with a respectable score of 78%) after 2 days of training.
Ian is also an expert on Soviet weaponry, particularly the AK47 and its variants.  When undertaking training with Ian on AK’s you also get a very interesting history lesson.  At the end of the AK course I was able to pass the Soviet Naval Infantry qualification test.
As I mentioned Ian is a former Matelot and Mark Crawford is a former Bootneck  – this means lots of very entertaining dits are told in the clubhouse (for everybody who is not former Royal Navy or Royal Marines a dit is a good story).
I can only say that the quality of instruction was exemplary – Ian was very patient with me as a civvy who had not handled pistols before and all criticism was constructive.  The overall programme was designed to ensure that I progressed to a standard which allowed me to undertake the test by the end of the programme.

VALUE FOR MONEY:
Euro Tactical offer excellent value for money.  I paid £500 per day for a bespoke course, one to one instruction sole range use, including accommodation with all ammunition being provided.  By the second day of my three day course I had already decided to book another course.

OVERALL COMMENTS:
The ET family are very welcoming and this is a very well run business.  Safety considerations on the range are paramount, the instructors have a massive amount of experience and excellent training techniques.
Before discovering Euro Tactical I was considering undertaking some firearms training in the US, however, I am so impressed by the standard at Euro Tactical that I will be sticking with them for my future training requirements.
