After decades of dreaming about attending a class at Gunsite I finally made it a few weeks ago with my bride (@SouthernGirl ). I decided well before arriving that I was going to be completely open and try everything suggested. Old dogs can learn new tricks.
To keep this short and not too wandering it was an amazing experience. The staff was fantastic and seemed to find ways to connect with each student individually. Lots of work from the holster at fast but accurate speeds (lost track of how many times I heard that you can't miss fast enough...). Met some great folks from all across the country. One of the many highlights were the runs through the indoor shoot houses (360 degrees, frangible ammo) and the outdoor live fire simulators. Felt very safe all week as well.
The week ended at the Cooper's home on the property with a tour by Mrs. Cooper, who turned 99 last week. This was simply awe inspiring to say the least. Already signed up for the alumni shoot in October and plan on going back for more. Let me know if you have any questions.
And of course my firearm was a 1911 in 45 ACP. (But they are completely accepting of .380 magnums, aka 9mm.)
