I don't get anything out of it, just very satisfied with their service. Yay/nay? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It is perfectly acceptable to give a glowing review. What better promotion is there than that?

Three years ago there was a trainer review thread here.

[Flingarrows]

Thanks guys. TRJ, I'll look it up and post up a review

[Flingarrows]

I didnt find the thread, so I'll add it here.

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

Why don't you invite them to post their classes in our training forum?

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]

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]

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.

Just out of curiosity, what was covered in a 3 hr defensive pistol class?

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

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.

Having no prior experience in this area, it was definitely a great learning experience.

[GeekDad]

I think I'll sign up for the 10/22 class. Anyone else want to join me?

[Flingarrows]

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]

Outside? December? Uh, no thanks

Signed up for the 10/22 class. Looking forward to it.

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]

Skiing used to be my way of getting through winter but bad knees eventually put an end to that.

[Flingarrows]

Same here, scoped knee slowed that hobby down Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Just hope the weather holds and is at least dry.

[Flingarrows]

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]

It's less than a hour away for me and I told the wife I'd be out most of the day anyway.

[Flingarrows]

Good deal
