Very interesting discussion. I was hoping for this forum to become the "go to" place for training discussion in the State of Indiana and I think it is becoming that... Anyway

I'm a fairly new shooter and I don't think I have many "standards" just yet. If a one day class were to come through town with a reasonable price and round count I would take it in a minute. I don't really care who is teaching it because maybe I would come away with something. I'm going to need to feel 100% safe but otherwise the chance to get out on the range and learn something appeals to me. I've been around the gun boards enough to form some opinions on things but if a one day class came through INDY and it was affordable I'd take it.

I have been lucky so far because I hooked up with Shay early on and I think he set me up with some great fundamentals. From there I have taken a class from a big school. Several hours of private instruction. A class with Matt in New Castle and the INGO Training day.

I think someone would do very well around here if they could come up with a

-One day class around the $150 price range
-Reasonable round count
-Different levels (a very basic class with no live fire, intro pistol, and then one or two more advanced classes that build on that)

I realize $150 is dirt cheap but a lot of people just can't afford the big 2 day classes. With the price of ammo, gas, etc for me I probably won't be taking a 2 day class anytime soon. I'm sorry to say that but it's the truth and I'm someone who is fairly interested in training.

Maybe I will figure out some standards down the road once I get more training under my belt.
