Colorado Offsite Classes

10 years ago my wife and I took the three pistol classes and the edged weapons class. Except for the bruises from the edged weapons class we extremely enjoyed the experience. Fast forward a year and my wife is accosted in a parking lot. Due to the circumstances she was in condition orange. Moments later the attacker was lying on the ground in a pool of apple juice from a broken gallon glass jug. Police arrested a repeat offender. 250 training at its best. Fast forward 6 months and I am in the …

This past week at Gunsite I experienced the best handgun training that I had received to date, as well as one of the funniest. This past week definitely took my shooting level up a few steps, and helped me build my confidence not only shooting the M&P, but being able to show and demonstrate to consumers and dealers why the M&P is the BEST handgun on the market. As with anything, the more knowledge one has on a product the better they can sell that product, this class was very beneficial in that …

After spending a week at Gunsite Academy for the Alumni Shoot and a five-day class, I was heading home tired but happy.  I pulled off the interstate at a truck stop to get a cup of coffee and find my iPad (gotta have music to keep me awake.)Because I needed to open car doors to rummage through my gear, I parked nose-in at the side of the main building where there was space and no activity.  Behind my car was a large open paved area with no vehicles.  It was morning and I casually scanned …

My Gunsite 250 pistol experience was life changing! The instructors make the school… the support staff is first rate and the facilities are tops! I came to Gunsite through the generosity of Mrs. Cooper and her daughters, as a Jeff Cooper Legacy Foundation Scholarship recipient. I will be back because the training I received may well save lives, possibly my own. Gunsite and the legacy of Colonel Cooper has inspired me to enroll in the municipal police officer training program, at fifty years of a…

The course of instruction, the instructors and the facilities were all superb. I really appreciated the professionalism of the instructors. They knew what I was thinking before I made a move. Simply first class instruction. I did not adequately show my appreciation for their care and watchfulness. At 70 years old, I learned more than I ever expected! The Gunsite experience is like a great movie that when you walk out of the theater, you can say that you should see it again. Following that thou…

Gunsite was a fantastic learning experience as well as team building opportunity.  I was amazed at how much I learned and how much more comfortable I am shooting and handling my M&P.  I feel the trip enhanced my skills and will make me more authoritative in my presentation to both dealers and consumers.

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…

I just finished the three day Gunsite Seattle 150 course presented at Firearms Academy of Seattle. Dave Harris and Randy Watt were wonderful instructors and helped me improve my grip, and obtain sites better. While I was able to work at my own pace they made sure I did the process as instructed yet managed to increase my speed while doing it. They made the class fun yet very safe. I will be trying to attend more Gunsite classes. Well worth the time and money.
