You can't "calibrate" it to only go one direction. If you try giving it only forward commands while calibrating it, the procedure will fail and the calibration will not be changed. The Talon SR doesn't have limit switch inputs, so the simple option of permanently activating the "reverse" limit is not available either.

The obvious answer is just to only send it "forward" commands, using pulse widths between 1.5 and 2.0 milliseconds. Never give it anything less than 1.5 milliseconds, and it will never go in reverse.
