STR8*SHOT Posted February 14, 2018 at 11:17 PM Share Posted February 14, 2018 at 11:17 PM Str8 Shot Gun Safety encourages EVERYONE interested in Handgun/CCW Instruction to research before they commit! There are many different types of training and many different prices. Ask questions of your contact person such as; How much is the cost of training?How many will be in class?What is Instructor/student ratio?How much shooting will I do?Where will I be shooting?Do I need my own handgun, ammo and equipment?Do I pay additional for range, ammo and handgun/equipment rental? Do I get a lunch break? Can I come and discuss things in person prior to commitment?Ask yourself; What am I looking for?Am I an avid shooter, beginner or in- between? Do I want a piece of paper or hands on training? Am I going to complete training and feel competent shooting?http://str8shotgunsafety.com/ Str8 Shot will give you Hands-On training that will continue or end with your conceal carry permit.

STR8*SHOT Posted February 15, 2018 at 01:40 AM Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 at 01:40 AM .....The initial post is aimed for up and coming CCW students. In the north central area we seem to have Instructors, including police officers, conducting 16 hour training and expecting students to be avid shooters. Just want all, especially new shooters to do their do diligence prior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you are just approved! Not semantics, fact..Utah "Certifies" instructors, Illinois doen not.You want to give your students the facts, not the impression of something you're not.Sorry but approved is NOT certified.

Farali64 Posted February 22, 2018 at 05:57 PM Share Posted February 22, 2018 at 05:57 PM I wish i would have asked myself the questions above. I basically picked the cheapest class I could find. I did get VERY lucky with my instructor, but was not thrilled with where we had to shoot. The range was not in the best neighborhood and was very small. I was waiting in line for a long time to shoot, and was terrified that I wouldn't have a car/wheels on my car when I got done. The instructor just happened to check all the boxes otherwise.
