Good Pistol Training Schools Near Florida?

[FlaMike]

Can anyone here recommend a good firearms training schools near Florida? I am located in Central Florida but would be willing to drive 2-3 hours. I have owned/collected several guns over the past decade but am not trained well how to use them and this bothers me, something I would like to change. Note, I have completed the basic NRA program to obtain CC permit, but would like some training beyond that.

Looks like some good stuff is happening at Southern Exposure Training Facility just north of Lakeland, FL.
Good luck.

I've trained with tactical response and their course was awesome. They are going to be in Starke, FL in Feb of 06

Gabe Suarez is going to be in Alanata in 06. I've never trained with him before but I'll correct that this year hopefully.

I've heared really good things about Russ Adler and Dedicated Professionals. All of his classes appear to be in FL.

+1 on Southern Exposure. I highly recommend one of Randy Cain's classes when he comes down, especially Tactical Handgun 101. Even if you are a seasoned shooter this class will teach you stuff you didn't know and reinforce the stuff you did.

LFI-I

Mossad Ayoob is holding LFI-I in his new home of Live Oak, Florida in December. I highly recommend. See www.ayoob.com for more info. You will learn more than you thought you needed to know and the Ayoob experience is worth the price of admission.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I've got a lot more options here in Central Florida than I had thought. Most of these schools look very good.

I've driven 10 hours to take a Randy Cain class at Southern Exposure.
I'd do it again.

OPS - Andy Stanford's company is close to you. Andy is an excellent instructor.

As Crofrog mentioned Tactical Response will be in FL in early February:

I've trained at Southern Exposure three times (two of Randy Cain's TH101 classes and an Intermediate Handgun class with Larry Mudgett earlier this month). All of the classes were excellent, and I had a great time and met a lot of terrific people. Highly recommended!
