      True. However, in this case, there are a lot of negotiable aspects including but not limited to: How much and how long the mentoring/transition period. Whether or not the new owner wants/needs the AR500 steel targets Whether of not the new owner wants/needs the guns and ammunition we supply...

      Indiana Firearms Training

      The answer to your first question: Yes, the instructor(s) are, as you put it, the "secret sauce." Being a good/great instructor takes a lot of effort, in addition to being comfortable in front of a group. Here are a few ingredients in the "sauce:" A sincere desire to see shooters improve...

      What??!! Just watching videos and not playing any video games? Terrible! They will never get any better without the video games! :):

      Las Vegas Officer bodycam

      He took care of business in spite of himself. Kudos for staying in the fight and finishing it. He will be good to address mindset in a fight but not how to use a handgun. No kudos for handgun skills. Training takes over, but, no training, and nothing takes over, as is the instant case. Very...

      Indiana Firearms Training

      It has been a great 10 years of Indiana Firearms Training, but all good things come to an end. My wife and I will be moving to Colorado, later this year, and Indiana Firearms Training is for sale--everything: Lock, Stock, and Barrel, including: The website and e-mail address...

      Gen 5 Glock 17

      The Glock LE Manager for this region is a good friend, and I had the opportunity, last year, to shoot both the Gen5 19 and Gen5 17, but not extensively. Appear to be great guns, and the LE manager says the Gen 5 is the best gun Glock has made. The nDLC (new Diamond Like Coating) is vastly...

      He went to Dillon...

      Not at all familiar with the DA case feeder or how it works; however, get a case feeder! Makes all the difference in loading speed. Regarding an earlier suggestion of a powder level sensor in position #3: my opinion is not necessary. I have a bright light (spotlight bulb) from Menards with a...

      Thigh Rig = Bad?

      But, but, but, but, but...they look so cool on the outside of tactipants, especially when the gun is really low--just above the knee. Make sure to use the ones with at least two straps; three are better. Leave the straps loose around the leg, so as not to restrict circulation. Yeah, the whole...

      USPSA @ WRPC 8/13/17

      Hey, that is really great Robert Vogel and his beautiful fiance, Jessica Hook, came. The last I talked with Robert, it looked very doubtful he would make the August match. I am in Colorado; so, I missed the treat. I know he used the match as a tuneup for the IPSC World Shoot in France...

      Don't take an Illinois CCW class

      I assume you mean you an IL State certified instructor, which I am, too. Got the certification early on, and it was a real pain in the southbound, only to discover the carry permit would not be available to Indiana residents. To date, I have certified precisely one person, who lives in the...

      Recommend good bullet for 44 mag to deer hunt with.

      Terminal ballistic tests by Dr. Gary K. Roberts (Letterman Army Institute of Research) demonstrated the Hornady XTP 300 gr. was the best performer. That said, the old Elmer Keith 240 gr. cast lead SWC on top of 24 gr. 2400 has taken many, many large animals.

      Saving $ Loading 9mm

      It is true: Don't save any money but do get to shoot more. However, most of my shooting is with a Glock 34 that breaks at about 1lb 15oz and only works with Federal primers; so, the Dillon 650 gets a workout from time to time--147 gr. Bayou bullets over 3.2 Titegroup.

      The myth/ truth of "WASTED ENERGY"

      Mandatory Gun Training?

      Pretty much agree, except the right to keep and bear arms is not granted by the Constitution. Rather, it is confirmed and protected by the Constitution. The right to keep and bear arms is one of many unalienable rights endowed by our Creator. It did not originate with the Constitution or any...

      Mandatory Gun Training?

      Same subject came up in the classes I taught yesterday and the day before. Even with all the stupid stuff I see people do constantly and all the stupid stuff I read about people doing constantly, I am, still, opposed to mandatory training to obtain a discretionary, government issued permit to...

      Signing up for classes

      A couple of recent examples that may or may not be germane: Spent two days this last May 2 and 3 training with Dave Spaulding at the Indiana SWAT Officers Association conference. It was great training, but Dave was a bit miffed that he donated his time to the SWAT conference and experienced...

      Zahal Training Death

      Agree with your first sentence. For all intents and purposes, there are no standard qualifications/standards/education requirements to become an "instructor." The NRA has its instructor program--for what it may be worth--along with a Law Enforcement Instructor program. Additionally, there are...

      Tactfully telling someone their gun handling is awful?

      Good one! I love it, and so true, sad to say.
