Just wondering if anyone has any experience training in the midwest. There are a couple of trainers in the area that put on classes, but I'm hesitant to say the least. Some websites state they are prominent Cowboy Action shooters (not my cup 'o tea, each their own though), some seem like hooah-tards recently out of the military and all gung-ho (nothing wrong with that, but I want well thought out proven training, not regurgitated army doctrine, I'm brainwashed and bad habit scarred enough).
I'd like to find that middle ground, strong emphasis on accuracy yet with a speed and tactic minded approach. Something a little more advanced than NRA Basic Pistol but not quite LAV's advanced pistol, a happy medium ya know! I know which way the bullets come out, I know my manipulations, I also know that I know just enough to know I don't know enough!
I live just a mile or 4 north of the I35/I80 intersection. I'd be more than willing to travel a few hours, say KC or Twin Cities or Quad Cities. I don't see the little lady buying into me spending ~$800+ on a training class and have to drive 10 hours + round trip. I fight the battles I have a chance to win.
Anybody have any tips, or instructors I should look up?
