[Home-on-the-range] FW: [nfbcs] {Disarmed} FW: June is Child Vision Awareness Month

Thu Jun 6 12:05:58 UTC 2013

I'm not sure there is much point in being negative. Hadley has been in this business for 93 years. Most of their courses are free or low cost to people who are families or "professionals." I am finishing my third course, but, of course, I don't know anything about these particular ones. I think some of them are a little simplistic, but I also think it is because they are serving a wide variety of people and skill sets. They might well be worth a shot.
