Thread: Pistol Training in Southern Oregon

Can anyone point me to a list of upcoming pistol training events/courses in the Southern Oregon area?

Not sure where Southern Oregon is for you but I've trained with a number of guys who made the trip from the Medford area to Oregon Firearms Academy in Brownsville. Yes, it's a bit of a drive but the instruction is top notch.

I've heard lots of good news about Oregon Firearms Academy (OFA) too.
I belong to the Medford Pistol Club and just received this email today.

Stay Safe.

Oregon Firearms Academy is a little closer and looks pretty cool. I may check them out. And I'm definitely interested in that match. I've never done a match before.
