Training?

[mdlave]

I'm interested in some defensive pistol training, and trying to decide where the best place is to spend my money.
I know of several apparently great programs and sites from the other board, but I wonder if board members here have any strong recommendations.
I've heard of a place called Rattlesnake Ridge in Clarksville, but have not seen any mention of it on gun boards. Any info on them?

What are you looking for?

Improving skills such as draw stroke, point shooting, moving while shooting, using cover, retention techniques,etc.

Sounds like a candidate for IDPA practice.
It isn't "tactical training" but it does offer practice in all those.

Plus, you get to view different syles, people using semi-autos and revolvers. Some revolver shooters can get through a stage quicker than the SA's.

I shot in my first IDPA match a couple of weeks ago out in Dickson. It was awesome and I had a great time. I'm hooked.

Glad to hear it!

IDPA & USPSA are certainly not training but they do give you a place to use some practical skills under the pressure of a clock

Any more info on this? Cost? number of rounds, etc? Will you be teaching it John?

[john wall]

Yours truly will train the class. Cost will be $100, and we will shoot about 200 rounds. Most all time will be on the range, around 4-5 hrs.

Bring strong side hip holster on a good belt, two extra mags or two speed loaders/strips in holders.
