Thanks BehindBlueI. Moderators - can you please delete this redundant thread?Originally Posted by BehindBlueI's
He was on the list of instructors that I hoped to train with some day. RIP.
Are you now, or have you ever been a member of the Doodie Project?
So much this. He was a mentor to one of my mentors, and I just recently burned my almost worn out copy of Secrets of a Professional shooter.
RIP.
Prayers for all who are touched personally.

He was on my 'someday' list, too. He came on my radar about a year after I went to Thunder Ranch, so the article I'm thinking of must've been from '99. I remember it so distinctly because he was the first guy I'd read save for Mas to really stress how his life as a martial artist was part and parcel of his shooting...I started and kept paying attention from that moment on. I was already sending a 1911 in to have an ambi-safety installed, so I had them add an S&A magwell like Ron Avery had on his pistol, too.
The ambi-safety is long gone, but that sole magwell remains in place to this day and I'm not kidding a bit that I've fondly thought of that article nearly every single time I've handled that particular pistol.
RIP indeed.
I always had great respect for Ron Avery's skill in shooting, teaching, and researching, but never got to meet the man. My loss. I met some of his excellent staff when I taught at his facility last November. The training world lost him way too soon.
Signed.
I got to spend time with him last September at a TPC class, and for that I am thankful.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
I had registered to take his course at TPC in Sept. Selfishly bummed that I won’t get to meet him and learn from him. Prayers go to him and his family. Cancer sucks, it’s hit my family and continue to wreak havic on hit.
I have no doubt that he will be missed and I hope that his influence and legacy will continue with the trainers who were close to him to keep his memory alive and well. 62 is way to young.
