Schools, Courses for Tactical Shooting?

[Kankujoe]

Anyone care to make any recommendations on Schools or Courses that they have taken for Tactical Shooting? Handgun Defense? Concealed Carry Defense? etc...

I'm interested in your experiences, costs and whether the course was useful and a good value for your dollar?

Interested in only schools/courses open to civilians.

Thanks,

MT, How did you like those courses? I wasn't aware you had attended any of those? I'm really surprised at your listing tactical response, it's my understanding you and the owner have issues to resolve with another name on the net right?

I work for Tactical Response. You can search here on The High Road for student reviews of some of our classes.

All of our classes are open to private citizens.

I teach Integrated Threat Focused Training Systems. We train in threat focused skills and the tactics used when behind the reactionary curve.

I thought I got more than my money's worth from Brownies course in April. Well worth the $400. http://thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=212768&highlight=brownie

Paul Gomez's AK course was great also. http://thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=187962&highlight=gomez

I've been to Tactical Response a few times.

Very good training and a great value. James Yeager definitely has his heart in it.

Kankujoe, I've written about a few of the classes I've taken--Thunder Ranch, Ken Hackathorn, Pat Rogers, Louis Awerbuck, Chapman Academy, etc., inter alia.

Search at THR and THR's cousin, TFL. My screen name is "KSFreeman" at TFL.

Here's me at a 2003 General Rifle class at Thunder Ranch: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=18068&highlight=Tejas+Thunder+Ranch

Here are some photos THR's "Doc" took of the class: http://homepage.mac.com/plsmd/PhotoAlbum3.html (I have no idea what I am doing in the pic of me. I think I was waving to Doc).

Here is my third DHG1 class at Thunder Ranch in 2004: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=89372&highlight=Thunder+Ranch+Tejon

Here's a Awerbuck HIT class, carbine and pistol which includes the stupidest thing I have ever done in class: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=35509&highlight=HITT+Awerbuck

Matt, are you sure you click and paste is working correctly?

I can't believe no reccomended Mas Ayoob's LFI 1 yet. I think it's a must do for a CCW holder.

Yeah..it is working fine.
Looks as if OPS's website is up and running again.
One day soon you and I will add our courses to threads such as this.

what about Thunder Ranch in Oregon, I heard it is supposed to be really good.

Not sure if you're specifically interested in tactical rifle training, but I can recommend TDI in Ohio.
