Continuum of Force Concepts.  He works out of the Defensive Action Center in the Spokane Valley, a shoot house type setup with movable walls, rooms, and sim guns.  He also does some of his outdoor pistol/carbine course at Fernan.

Will do. The Wrenco class was signed up through the NRA website and I haven't heard from the instructor yet. Class isn't until March. The Force Continuum class is their "couples" date night class. Going with the wife. It's only $150 so I figure it's an inexpensive way to see the facility and find out if I like the instructors. Sort of tempted to sign up for Injured Shooter on the 19th of this month...

I know it's not what OP is looking for, but there are going to be some Appleseeds at Fernan R&G this spring/summer.

My gf took their women's self defense class there a couple weeks ago. She loved it.
Have you done the couple's night? We're thinking of trying it out.

My wife and I did the very first Ar15 couples night with them.  It was a lot of fun for both of us.

The class was great. The instructor is squared away and a great guy. The wife had a great time and she wants to do more of it. The force on force scenarios were good.

I've taken some training at https://www.triggercontrolnorthwest.com/ in Cd'A.

Unfortunately, I think they may be defunct now.  Their facebook page has been dead, and there are no classes scheduled on their web page.

Mike, the head guy from Trigger Control, left the CDA area for Idaho Falls and helps to run GunsandGear the big indoor range there.  The company dwindled after he left and I'm not sure it's operational today.

Bill Rapier is in Northern Idaho, and puts on a great class. He's a retired Seal, and knows his stuff.
