I would tend to agree with what others have said. You're a lot better off. ABS only charges 250 dollars for the entire 4 day class, so I would think that you would be a lot better suited getting hands on practice in a bunch of cows. At first, it can be hard to tell where you're at inside a cow, so having someone there to tell you is really beneficial. I would advise you to look for a class and invest your money that way.
