Flingarrows Posted September 11, 2016 at 03:14 AM Posted September 11, 2016 at 03:14 AM I don't get anything out of it, just very satisfied with their service. Yay/nay? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
tkroenlein Posted September 11, 2016 at 04:05 AM Posted September 11, 2016 at 04:05 AM It is perfectly acceptable to give a glowing review. What better promotion is there than that? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
TRJ Posted September 11, 2016 at 10:33 AM Posted September 11, 2016 at 10:33 AM Three years ago there was a trainer review thread here.
Flingarrows Posted September 11, 2016 at 01:52 PM Author Posted September 11, 2016 at 01:52 PM Thanks guys. TRJ, I'll look it up and post up a review
Flingarrows Posted September 11, 2016 at 02:00 PM Author Posted September 11, 2016 at 02:00 PM I didnt find the thread, so I'll add it here. TriggerFarm.com, In the Sheridan-Newark area (LaSalle County-30 miles west of Joliet): Took the conceal carry in June. My son took it in Aug, and we both just to the defensive pistol class yesterday. Both John and John are great instructors; lots of deal and huge on safety. Prices are great. The defensive pistol class is $50.00 for 3 hours of instruction at their outdoor range

The defensive pistol class is $50.00 for 3 hours of instruction at their outdoor range I've been looking for something like this. A reasonably priced defensive class that's not too far away. Can you be a bit more specific on what you liked and what might be improved upon?
Flingarrows Posted September 25, 2016 at 11:04 PM Author Posted September 25, 2016 at 11:04 PM I liked that they built the habit of safety by repetition - rehandling a gun that was shown empty 10 minutes ago. It obviously didn't load itself from the last demonstration. But checking to build the habit. I liked the detail and discussions during the conceal carry, and also re-intro of the fundamentals at the beginning of the defensive pistol, working up to shooting and moving, shooting in awkward positions. I am more of an archer and shotgunner, than a handgunner (hence the name - Flingarrows), but did shoot on the pistol team in the ANG 25 years ago. I needed some help getting my group tightened up, and getting reacquainted with a handgun. Both John and John were more than willing to spend a few minutes analyzing what I was doing wrong. The class built confidence in handling/holstering a pistol in battery. I am expecting my license in the email this week, and will have no issues carrying chambered after this class. I plan on taking the defensive pistol again in the spring (too close to hunting season, my busy time of the year
GeekDad Posted September 25, 2016 at 11:26 PM Posted September 25, 2016 at 11:26 PM Perfect! I'm in kind of the same situation. My dad and I were shot gunners and I did just a little pistol many many years ago and restarted back in Decemberror when I went through CCL class. Been looking for a more one on one or small group that isn't so expensive to take a look and correct my bad habits.

Flingarrows Posted September 26, 2016 at 02:19 AM Author Posted September 26, 2016 at 02:19 AM It started with a range safety briefing, then shooting on paper, drawing from holster, double tap, retention against a grab, surveying after a shoot, moving while shooting, shoot in awkward positions (using one of those walls, with slots and holes at different places. Not sure what it is called), engaging multiple targets. I went through about 350 rounds during the class Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
tkroenlein Posted September 26, 2016 at 03:30 AM Posted September 26, 2016 at 03:30 AM Interesting. A class short enough to fit in an evening or "half day" on a Saturday. Sounds like a nice next step really for folks that are comfortable with the whole carry/draw/shoot concept but maybe haven't committed or don't have time for an 8hr gig. 350 rds sounds pretty good for such a short class.

GeekDad Posted September 30, 2016 at 03:56 PM Posted September 30, 2016 at 03:56 PM I think I'll sign up for the 10/22 class. Anyone else want to join me?
Flingarrows Posted October 1, 2016 at 05:34 AM Author Posted October 1, 2016 at 05:34 AM October is bow hunting season, but if you are up for a second class in December or spring, I am game Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
GeekDad Posted October 1, 2016 at 09:40 PM Posted October 1, 2016 at 09:40 PM Outside? December? Uh, no thanks Signed up for the 10/22 class. Looking forward to it.
Flingarrows Posted October 2, 2016 at 02:43 AM Author Posted October 2, 2016 at 02:43 AM I stay out as late in the year as I can. It takes the edge off of winter Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
GeekDad Posted October 2, 2016 at 03:57 AM Posted October 2, 2016 at 03:57 AM Skiing used to be my way of getting through winter but bad knees eventually put an end to that.
Flingarrows Posted October 2, 2016 at 02:45 PM Author Posted October 2, 2016 at 02:45 PM Same here, scoped knee slowed that hobby down Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
GeekDad Posted October 4, 2016 at 01:41 PM Posted October 4, 2016 at 01:41 PM Just hope the weather holds and is at least dry.
Flingarrows Posted October 5, 2016 at 01:19 AM Author Posted October 5, 2016 at 01:19 AM The day that I went it was supposed to start at 9am, but was raining. They called at 820 to see if I would mind starting at 1230. That worked for me so we just had it after the rain passed. If you are traveling far and rain is forecasted, you may want to email the night before to see if there is a plan B Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
GeekDad Posted October 6, 2016 at 03:40 PM Posted October 6, 2016 at 03:40 PM It's less than a hour away for me and I told the wife I'd be out most of the day anyway.
