The Horse puts in his two cents or actually several cents after this weekend.......
1st Thanks Amp, for teaching me lots about shooting, mind set, and life! 28 years ago, wow where did the time go?
I've trained with Ken and Larry a few times each. Amp, Randall and myself shot with them on a "super squad" at the Carolina Cup about 5 years ago on a Thursday while Larry did some filming for his show. This time, I wanted my family to shoot with these two great trainers. My boys were all for it and my wife (a 6th Grade middle school teacher) was excited, worried, and fearful she wasn't good enough. The instruction, as always, was great. In fact, Alex my youngest talked about how Ken spoke to everyone at the end of the class and could remember what each person needed to work on. Maria said that Larry and Ken were class acts. She also said the instruction was personalized, relevant, and well presented. She was was very impressed and went to school on Monday and encouraged the few teachers that actually owns handguns to get training and to practice.
The group of folks that was in this class was safe and good shooters. Amp and Randall are hard acts to follow! Justin D. is a very very good shooter. I was really impressed with his ability to shoot fast and accurate with a 1911 or a Beretta 92.
Bottom line.... its costly for great training, good equipment, ammo, lodging and etc.........SO! If you carry a pistol, it needs to be a good dependable one, as well as the ammo, your belt and holster, and a person needs to train and practice. Ken used to say, " great practice is what matters." Therefore, when you come to a class soak it up, take notes,and try to be the ultimate sponge, so you can practice the drills and put the money you spent to good use. I'd tell anyone to train with these men. It will cost you, but well worth the money and time.
Wahoo, please contact me! I missed getting your number and email. I'd like for you and your guys to come out and shoot with me and the family, we are not far from you. In fact, there is a match at Lexington this Saturday on the 24th.
That's it folks. Keep your head on a swivel in this crazy world, treat people like you want to be treated, and pray to God for strength, honor, and his will to be done.
