So I saw a poll on another forum and thought it would be interesting to get a more local flavor to it here.
Since we are lucky to have several very good training facilities in the Northwest, including Oregon Firearms Academy and Thunder Ranch, I was curious how many people have taken advantage and attended classes. If you did, was it worth it? Priced right? Good trainers? Facilities?
I attended two classes this year. First was a defensive shotgun class at Oregon Firearms Academy. The class was excellent. The level of instruction, quality, and instructor to student ratio were great. I wish they had a larger facility, but other than that, no issues.
The second class was at the COSSA range outside Bend. Randy Cain came in from Tennessee to put on a three day practical bolt rifle class. Again, the level of instruction was excellent. Having only one instructor was a little challenging with twelve students. But the instructor handled it well. The facilities were not bad. But three days in the sun was a little challenging. I guess I'm not in great shape ...
Hopefully next year I'll get a few more classes. My goal is at least one, if not two pistol courses and a carbine course...
Anybody else care to share?
