Gunsite 150 Pistol Lebanon Indiana

[Cowboy1629]

Who all on here has attended this class in the past and what did you think? A buddy of mine is wanting me to attend the April 29th class with him.

Looks like it might be more than just the basic 150 course since it is showing 800 round minimum. Normal 150 course only shows 450 rounds.

How big are the classes normally? How quick do they fill up, or do they? Just trying to figure out how soon we would need to make our decision.

I haven't taken this class. But I took the intro class. It was 2 days. If you have the money, TAKE this class. Don't even think about NOT taking it. This is the best class you can take. And it will fill fast!

Sheriff Ken Campbell is an excellent teacher. I'd love to be able to take this class.

I have taken several classes sponsored or taught by Sheriff Ken Campbell. He runs a first rate program and it is money well spent on training that is close to home.

just wondering how to get all the info needed on this one?

I'll let you know once me and my buddy get signed up...

Just kidding, looks like everything is done through Gunsite website. Here is the course description;

150 Pistol Lebanon Indiana
You have considered professional firearms training, but haven’t been willing
to take the big step. Spend three days with Gunsite Instructors and see what we
can do for you. More importantly see what you can do, and, as a result, what
more you could do with great training. If you’ve been to Gunsite, this course
is a great refresher.
Course will cover the Modern Technique, speed reloads vs. tactical reloads,
weapon malfunctions, pivots and turns, barricades, tactical guidelines and low-
light techniques during the night shoot.
This class is an excellent opportunity for you to understand the Gunsite
experience and what it can do for you. Certified training can provide a firewall
of protection against civil lawsuits for negligence and lack of qualified training.
Our programs have been approved as IN LETB Approved Provider.
Indiana course held at Lebanon Ind. Sheriff’s Range.

lovemywoods and I took this very class a couple years ago. It is a great class for anyone wanting to get "serious" about owning and carrying a handgun.

Here is my AAR from the class: https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...r_gunsite_indiana150_-_sept_26-28_2008_a.html

Uncle Sam taught me how to be "serious" about carrying a handgun and a rifle but that was a few years ago so I'm sure I could use a refresher.

How big is the class? Thanks for the link I'll take a look, maybe you mentioned it there.

Couldn't we all. . . .

Looks like there were 22 students, according to my AAR, in two relays of 11.

It was still small enough to get some one-on-one attention if you needed it.

Good writeup esrice. Looks like we have a start on restaurants too.

+1, actually I was in the same class with esrice and lovemywoods. Great experience, can't recommend it enough.

I KNEW someone would appreciate that!

I am also planning on attending the April 29th class. Looking forward to it. Excited, maybe a little nervous.

 

[Cowboy1629]

We still haven't enrolled yet, mostly my fault because I haven't committed. I have this addiction to buying guns and need to stop for a while to build my stash funds back up. I would rather go to the October class but my buddy is involved with the Covered Bridge Festival so this class at the end of April is his only opportunity. I guess we need to be enrolling soon or they will be filled up.

I would say definitely don't delay. I know there were several people who tried to enroll in the class we took who couldn't get in.

I would not take the course. Take Sheriff Campbell's Intro to the Defensive Pistol instead. It is similar in curriculum to the Gunsite 150, but lacks the steel shoots. It is also one day shorter and significantly less expensive.

Save the big bucks for Louis Awerbuck's pistol classes in August.

I know... I just ordered a new Dillon XL650 to go with my Dillon RL550B. I think I need a second job to pay for my uncontrolled habit!
