I will be taking a 2 day pistol course at Mid-South Shooting institute in Lake Cormorant, Mississippi pretty soon. Then go back and take a 5 day pistol, rifle, and carbine class.

Have you been to MidSouth before? I am originally from Memphis and am very familiar with the area. I have not gone to MidSouth to date because they shoot isoceles mostly, and due to some eye problems I pretty much shoot a hard weaver.
Just got back from Thunder Ranch Pistol/Rifle H.I.T. class. Lots of fun. |

Nope, 'cept a buddy who is a police instructor showing me how to shoot years ago, since then I have mostly abandoned the weaver stance he taught me for a kind of modified isosceles. I'm hoping to either go to OPS in Tennessee over the summer or the Sig Academy. I dream of going to Thunder Ranch, but the classes and travel make for a kind of long trip and I have other commitments for the time I take off from work.

Went to the range today. The training that I've received from skilled and talented individuals definitely showed.
It was a good day!  |

I have no formal training whatsoever. But as soon as I get my guns together the way I want them, I'll be taking as many courses as I can enroll in and afford.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to love the challenge of it all. I'm reading all I can about places like Thunder Ranch so I show up at these places with the right gear and not a bunch of stuff that will just break the first day. I'm a gear queer, but a functional, gear queer. |

Training is a must! Find an enthusiastic instructor!
I used to think I new shit, until I got formal training. I feel 100 times safer and more professional since! |
