Rogers Shooting School

[possum]

Has anyone here been to Rogers Shooting school? any aar's or reviews of the course. please tell me what you think/ thought. i personally am interested in the beginner handgun course, however i would love to hear about any courses that you may have taken from him.. it seems like a squared away school, but i would like to hear what any of my fellow highroaders think about it. is it worth the money and time to go to a course? as well if you could also let me know what other training you have done, and how Rogers school compares to others. it would be much appreciated.

If you are talking about Bill Rogers he's one of the best.

I've taken the Intermediate/Advanced twice, most recently Nov '07. My review from the first class is posted here.
I can't speak as to his Basic class, but his Int/Adv class is top notch.

If after reading the review you are curious about the testing sequences, try these:
Test 1
Test 4
Test 6

Possum- after having an idea of your training background from your AARs you'd be fine in the intermediate/advanced class. I talked to Bill briefly via email & the impression I got was that if you have some formal higher-level (beyond basic NRA/Cop/Mil) training the I/A course will be for you. Yeager did a podcast on his experience there a month or two ago. Claude, one of the instructors posts regularly over on TPI & has put up some observations of some of the classes. You can always shoot Bill an email with your training history & see what he says.

The Rogers Shooting School is on my list for next year as long as life doesn't change so dramatically that I can't make it.

thanks everyone. thanks for the links too.
yammymonkey,
yeah i have wanted to hear yeagers review on podcast but for some reason i can't seem to get it to down load.. thanks for the info, i woudl love to take his intermediate/ advanced course with the shotgun portion, it is hard to find shotgun training and why not knock it out in one shot.
