    Took both these courses this weekend. Great stuff. We had 12 students on Sat and only 3 on Sun. Even with 12 they were able to tailor the course, give individual attention and also give a taste of more advanced stuff. Same thing for Sun, but even more so. Destin was a great guy. He was solo on Sun, and we had Jason, a retired military, now DEA weps guy, helping on Sat.
    Everyone was very safe and I was very happy that all students kept it pointed down range.
    I will definitely be giving them more money in the future.

    Registration starts at 0830 at the classroom for the Intro. pistol class and we finish up between 4:30-5:00. All classes are a little different and we run them based on the students that are attending, so some may run a little longer or shorter than others. Hope to see you out there!
