A HUGE 
to John Benner and Tactical Defense Institute. (Tactical Defense Institute -- Firearms - Gun - Rifle - Shotgun - Pistol - Training In Southern Ohio)
Mr. Benner was the most down to earth instructor I've ever had for anything. He found new ways to explain things to make sure everyone understood. He taught to all the different ways of learning. Visual, Auditory, and most important in my opinion, Hands On.
To critique myself a little, if you looked at my targets it looks like I'm a decent shot. It is ugly as SIN to watch me do it but the end result was good. John taught me techniques I would have never thought of and explained some of the classic techniques in new ways that I could understand. Now I look as practiced and skilled shooting as my targets reflected. My skills and confidence in my shooting ability improved 10 fold after taking his Handgun I and II class this past weekend. I was so impressed by his genuine interest in making sure everyone understood and learned everything they could soak up, I've already made up my mind to sign up for a 3 day weekend for handgun I-III and this time take my wife. Only thing I'm waiting on is gathering enough ammo.
The techniques are easy to learn and yield immediate results making you want to switch from whatever it was you were doing to what he's teaching. Or maybe just slightly adapt an already proven technique to make it better. No matter what skill level you may have or think you have I would guarantee he could improve your skill. Check out their website. His credentials to be an instructor are hard earned and highly regarded. He is a great combination of 1. Someone who knows what they are doing and 2. Someone who can teach and 3. Wants you to learn. Often times we find people who are an outstanding at one and lacking at the others.
John Benner's TDI handgun classes are outstanding and FULLY EARNED my endorsement. I don't easily endorse anything.

I like taking classes @ BCSD because I can get up "late" and still be at the range on time, and get to sleep in my own bed at night instead of having to shell out for a hotel room.
