They teach good marksmanship. I have a problem with some of their tactics. There's more than one school in the USA and I've been to rather a few.
Two to the body and one to the head loses compared to shoot the person to the ground and motionless no matter how many rounds it takes. That's why you carry extra magazines.
Sometimes it's better to take cover than return fire. A man standing or crouching with a pistol exactly where he was first shot at makes one hell of a target for the person that ambushed him. Movement is equally if not more important than marksmanship beyond a certain level of skill in the real world unless you are planning on only being attacked by paper people in pre-planned fun houses.
They advocate night sights, last I checked, which are a dumb idea unless we are talking a night vision type device. Check your night sights, check the top of your Front Sight. Night sight dot isn't at the top of the blade, is it? You want everything to be instinctive, not have two different places you might put your front sight, depending on ambient light to hit the same point of aim.
My two cents. It's a good starting point on some things but you might learn some tactics that will be hard to unlearn for an actual real fight. When you walk out on a Front Sight range you're expecting what you will do that day and that you will be shooting. This is not how the real world happens.

To each his own but there are other choices.
