I will second this recommendation. I suspect that unless you bring it up (USPSA drama) he won't talk about any of it in class. I took his class several years ago and was impressed with his ability to connect and teach. He puts just as much time in developing his teaching ability/skills as he does his shooting. From my perspective he is equally as passionate about teaching others to shoot as he is improving his own shooting performance. Just my opinion, it is worth what you paid.
If this is the Spring 2023 class in North East Texas, I’ll be there and I encourage still showing up. I’m guaranteed to be the least-skilled student, so no fears there.
I’m here for some technical skills development. Stoeger’s books were great, and I’m very eager to see an in-person lecture. USPSA matches are still the cheapest, easiest way to get in shooting and manipulations (“training”), so I’ll keep
shooting and ignore the drama.
Per the PF Code of Conduct, I have a commercial interest in the StreakTM product as sold by Ammo, Inc.
Yup. I am one of those old guys who ought to shoot IDPA and quit bothering the Real Competitors but I have a fairly convenient weekly USPSA (TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT!) so I just shamble through into the fifth quintile.
(I do shoot IDPA and can sometimes still make it into the second quintile.)

Wait, what? Can you support that about doxxing? I’m skeptical.
While Ben has posted some harsh memes, I haven’t seen anything like that.
The BoD and USPSA personnel have done far worse, including stalking a member and threatening many others with a frightening abuse of power.

Posting public records isn’t doxxing.
Well, you may be a man. You may be a leprechaun. Only one thing’s for sure… you’re in the wrong basement.
I'm responding to the insinuation that Derek doxxed anyone.
He has posted board minutes, court records, and state business filings, all of which were public.

Copy. I didn't mean to imply anything else. Some BoD members have implied and actually claimed that Stoeger was responsible for the Colorado USPSA Nationals fiasco, which Ben categorically denies. I believe Ben, and it's yet another example of outrageous and unprofessional behavior on the part of USPSA.
