What's your beef with Academi? I've taken a pistol course and carbine course there, and they were awesome. Instructors were expert and easy-going, let us do a lot of fun stuff. Nice campus, too. If I had the money I'd be down there every year. |

The recession and high ammo “shortage”/prices hurt a lot of them too, a lot of the travelling instructors too, though not as badly.

I miss Gun Disneyland with it's salty, steely eyed killer instructors, Commandos wandering around, multi story shooting platforms, fast moving steel, radio controlled steel, bullet fragments from machineguns on the next range raining down over the berm walls. Are there any places like that still around? Academi just had crap listed like "Mossberg armorer course" seriously? Lol nooo thanks Gunsite used to make you take what seemed like a million blah blah courses before you could do anything cool like force on force. I've been to cool courses with traveling instructors but even doing team work or building searching isn't the same without Blackwater's "Headquarters of Dr. No" play set. Yeah sure, I should just eat broccoli, do more pushups and go to boring Appleseed shoots in Jorts and a Hawaiian shirt so Shotar doesn't get all butthurt at my cool 00's woodland camo plate carrier I've been there a bunch, good place to get solid no-bullshit instruction. The instructors are excellent. They emphasize safety, accuracy and speed, in that order. I just took a carbine class with my brother. Instructors were a SWAT guy and a former Navy SEAL. They have their shit together!

Lighthorse Tactical and Talon Defense do a lot of cool guy classes locally and on the road.
I have zero desire to do week long classes anymore. I like the occasional one day and sometimes two day classes. Did a recent LE only night shoot class. It was great. I think some gun writer attended the class. |
