OT-Tactical shooting

Post by Andrew »

I went to an outdoors fair today that was pretty sorry in quality. All it boiled down to was a bunch of people trying to sell atv's and what-not. But, I found a booth for a tactical shooting school near here that doesn't look to bad.

The instructor has a list of cerifications he has/has had over the years and seems to be well qualified. They have a course designed specifically to satisfy the requirements for cancealled carry here in MO along with a handful of other classes geared toward ladies, LE's, youth, Glock and low-light/nite shooting. Pretty neat stuff.

The problem is you have to have a semi-auto and revolver for the CC class, neither of which I have. Holsters, extra mags, mag holsters, ammo, add to this the price of the class and it gets kinda expensive. Factoring in a decent model pistol/ revolver and the neccesarry gear, ammo, and tuition and it would set a guy back $2000+. :shock: :shock: Yes, I realize that the guns/gear aren't consumable reasources, but they are reasources I do not have and would need.

THE QUESTION: Is it worth it? Have any of you guys had shooting courses and regreted it/loved it? I would dearly love insight BEFORE investing in something like this.


P.S. $2000= Guns, gear, ammo and tuition for Concealed-Carry Course and Tactical Pistol I, II, III, IV.

You might inquire to see if they will loan you the equipment needed to take the course for at least the level I. You could then decide if you wanted to purchase that sort of thing.

there are places where you may rent the necessary firearm(s) to complete your class(es)...you still gotta pay for the ammo, though.

talk to one of your local licensed gun dealers. they should be able to point you in the right direction. many indoor ranges have all the necessary licensing, equipment and know how to set you up.

here in the PRK (Peoples Republik of Kalifornia)...CCW's are like finding horse feathers or chicken lips for the average citizen. and...i expect it to worsen in the future. (especially if billary gets elected)

Classes I regreted

Some have been very basic. If you have taken a basic class you will likely know the majority of the material covered. Some teachers are fun. Some can make fun subjects boring. If you think that you liked him, you are likely set up well. Perhaps a friend or fellow forum member would take the classes with you and lend you the arms necessary. That would potentially be the most enjoyable.
I have never attended a class where I did not learn something.
If the money is not a BIG issue- go for it. For all the obvious reasons.
