TESTIMONIALS
“A thorough, enabling, practical course that is both professional and hugely informative. Chris and his instructors take firearms safety seriously and treat their students with respect whilst running a very enjoyable and inclusive course "
Kristian Dench - Producer 'The Capture' BBC
“I did the 2 day course with Trinity Fox, and I highly recommend it. Anybody wanting to gain experience and know how, not only with tactical manoeuvres and the jargon used by specialist Firearms and Counter Terrorism officers, but also about weapon safety and how to handle guns with confidence and poise on a film set will sill find this course invaluable.
The instructors were friendly and funny, yet rigorous and methodical.There is a constant flow of banter, but that never threats to overwhelm the seriousness of the subject they are informing on. The course is crammed full of priceless information, both analytical and practical. The instructors also created scenarios where you can viscerally feel what it is like to be a special firearms officers.
This course is a must for any actor or creator who is involved in a project containing firearms police or Counter Terrorism officers, as their specific knowledge is second to none. It was a great help for me, and something I would do again in a heartbeat."
