A bunch over a looong time.

It is sad that some of the instructors are no longer with us.

 

[Blackhawk2001]

In 38 years in Army Aviation, never got ANY pistol training; only qualified with a revolver or M9.

Otherwise: Basic and Tactical Pistol training: IPD (guest attendee); MCSD

Military training
Run and Gun project

I'm taking one of Verts classes next month, and a Appleseed or two is on my list. Most classes are to expensive for me. By the time you add up the cost of the class, gas, hotel, food, ammo, etc. Plus, between work and school, time is limited. That will all change when I'm done with school.

 

[donnie1581]

I wish I could afford to take some classes. My wife and I would both like to take some but the funds are slim at the moment.

Unless it was some girls from the IDF, we'd probably better go back to "don't ask; don't tell."

[TopDog]

USMC

Shot in high power rifle matches in several states but where I learned a great deal was combat rifle matches in the late 80's. They were held at a range in Hubert NC and the range was run by a retired Marine Corps Major. They were very interesting courses set up to test accuracy, speed and endurance.

There are some I've omitted because I won't go back and I won't recommend them.

I'd be interested to hear what those were and why you wouldn't recommend them. If you would rather not post it, you can PM or tell me about it at Awerbuck's tactics class if you prefer.
