      Dr William Aprill - UNTHINKABLE - Columbus, IN - 11-3-18

      It's been "a while" since I've been on here, but I've done a little training with William, and several others. I even hosted his first Unthinkable in Indiana.... that was a long time ago. If you're at all serious about personal protection, this class is an absolute MUST attend. Getting...

      Snub Nose specific training

      I'm not going to jump into the snubs suck or don't suck for defensive use. To answer the OP's original question, go look up Michael Debethencourt over at snubtraining.com He is arguably one of if not the best snubby guy in the business. Another good resource to look up would be Claude Werner...

      Paladin Combatives Managing Confrontations – March 19, 2016 Avon, IN

      Looks like I'm open that day, may try and drop by for some learning. For those who are on the fence, SIGN UP FOR THIS CLASS! This is the most useful, and frequently most neglected, area of study. It's not sexy, but it is essential. The fight you avoid is the fight you won!!!! Tinman....

      Shivworks ECQC - Nov 11 - 13 - Nappanee Indiana

      Plan on going hard for 2 and a 1/2 days. if you can't wrestle around, get hit, hit, shoot, and stab without dying of a heart attack, you may want to pass. We shoot in the morning on the range, the afternoon is working hands on skills, and mental games, as well as running FoF evos. Having said...

      Rangemaster Firearms Instructor Course, Nappanee, IN, Sept

      Looking forward to this course. Even if you're not currently an instructor, consider taking this class. Most of us take friends or family to the range, being better equipped to teach when you're there is always helpful. It will also help your skills to learn to teach it to someone else...

      Instructor Hall of Fame.

      Boy, that’s a daunting task to assemble a list like this. There are so many out there, past, present, and up and coming that the list would grow rapidly. Here’s some that would land on my list of hall of famers (in addition to yours): Pat Rogers (EAG Tactical) Bill Rogers (Rogers Shooting...

      Proper Grip for Auto-Pistols - James Yeager

      While I like the video, I disagree with his assertion that it's the points of contact that make the rifle easier to shoot. I think it was Larry Vickers that said it a few years back. (I'll paraphrase here) Your shooting a rifle that weighs 8 - 10 pounds with a trigger that weighs 2 to 5...

      Shivworks ECQC - Sept 13 - 15 - Nappanee Indiana

      As others noted, I am hosting Southnarc again this year. I thought I had posted this at the beginning of the year when I booked the class, but alas, it doesn't appear that I did. If you haven't trained with Southnarc, or taken this class, you need to. This is a serious test of your current...

      Pre-Fight Decision Making / Panhandlers / Awareness

      JD, This is a GREAT assessment. Very well thought out position, and great advice for people looking into instructors. The biggest thing is to define what you expect to learn, and then make sure that your instructor can fit that narrow requirement. I've always said, I can learn something from...
