Colorado Offsite Classes

When I first attended a class at Gunsite my boyfriend at the time said I want to give you a class at Gunsite for your vacation. I said I wanted to go to Hawaii. He promised to take me to Hawaii if I took my 250 Class at Gunsite. Upon graduation from my 250 pistol class I now longer wanted to go to Hawaii but wanted to take my next class at Gunsite. I eventually went to Hawaii but not before I was a well trained pistolero.

Gunsite training is outstanding even when you don’t have to pull the trigger. The confidence in firearms handling capabilities goes a long way. Practice helps too. Today, in broad daylight 3 PM MST, around 400 yards from my front door I happened upon what is in all likelihood a homicide on a well-groomed walking trail. The blood pool under the victim’s head looked fresh so the bad guy could not have been too far away. Confidence in gun handling skills came in handy keeping me calm [enough…

This past week I had the good fortune to be participating in a Pistol & Carbine Special Tutorial run by Walt Wilkinson and Chris Weare. The course was truly excellent due to the superb competence and professionalism of these two excellent Range masters. Everyone in the class learned at least one or two important particulars to improve their shooting and fine tune their appropriate situation awareness/responsiveness.

The 250 Pistol Class was our first in depth encounter with a hand gun. Not knowing which type and caliber of pistol would be best for us we did not purchase anything before arriving. The staff recommended the correct rental equipment for our needs. The instructors had decades of professional experience in the military, law enforcement, or both. They eagerly shared their personal backgrounds and individual experiences. They were patient and attentive. They monitored our every movement.  Safety w…

When we examined the bull, I found that my first shot took him about a third of the way up the shoulder, in line with the front leg. The second hit him a bit higher in the other shoulder. The entrance from the first bullet and the exit from the second were about 6 inches apart. I credit my shooting to your instruction followed by a good deal of serious practice. You taught me what to expect and how to handle it. All I had to do was keep my head and not do something stupid. The four months of pre…

350 Pistol March 19-23, 2012 What I most appreciate is that these courses teach and the instructors don’t act like drill sergeants.  These three guys were extremely aware of the details and kept at us each time we made errors.  I was really impressed at the depth of explanations and experience we got from Jerry.  Chris and Jay were incredible additions and Chris showed us flawless form.  I feel truly fortunate I had these three instructors, they made it enjoyable. The genuine concern…
