Carson's thread on his Advantage Group class has me itching to take some classes I don't have to make real travel plans for (flights/long weekends). What are some others yall would recommend in LA since the classes don't look like they occur too often from Advantage Group without pre-reqs?
This would be my first official training class on better using firearms.

I've taken some of their handgun courses and a lot of their rifle courses. They are a great group of guys and you will learn a lot of great information and techniques. I favor their style a bit more than Advantage but I've only taken one 2-day Advantage class so I can't give a full comparison.
Barf, the guy you're referring to must be Brannon. He doesn't do a ton of classes but brings in excellent special guests to host classes. I'm doing a 3 day handgun class in the fall with Vickers, Pannone, and MacNamara. I wouldn't have the opportunity to do this course this close to home if it weren't for him. I understand he can be a bit abrasive at times but he means well.

While eyes are on this thread...
Any recommendations for Concealed Carry classes in Ruston, LA.
Bought a Shield 9 mm. I've never owned a pistol before and feel I need a basic class first.
Ruston Gun Club has one that sounds like what, in my mind, I need.
Ruston Gun Club
I think I need to shoot 150 supervised rounds like their class offers.
What would you guys recommend/advise.

Sounds good. I'd go shooting a few times before going out there. Gives you a chance to learn your gun before you get to the class

We have a Gunfighter 1 on June 18th. There is not a pre req.

Chinese, go on youtube and watch travis haleys video on handgun grip, or Chris costa's video on Hand gun grip. Its one of the most important things in learning to shoot a handgun. Its still the number one thing I see shooters doing wrong when I'm at the range, along with other things, but you can't do much with a gun you can hold on to.

I'll have to check you guys out for sure.
Thanks everyone else for the advice as well.

I'll probably take it again. Let's get an OB crew
Posted on 4/21/16 at 9:17 pm to Carson123987
Advantage, would taking yalls gunfighter 1 course be necessary to take the gunfighter 2 if I have already taken a Similar course with a different company?
I would also be about a OB crew doing one of these

Found them both. Will check them out while holding my unloaded pistol tomorrow. Haven't had a reason to load it yet.
