Thanks for the info. A friend and I went to the MidSouth Institute in December of last year for the practical pistol course (3 days), and currently we are scheduled for the Intermediate Pistol class (3 days)in September. I've heard a lot of good things about GunSite, and would like to make it out there for a class also.

MidSouth is just South of Memphis TN, in the Tunica Mississippi area. My friend and I were very pleased with the instruction last time and felt it was a good value for training. Also, hotel rooms and meals are cheap in Tunica - we got casino hotel rooms for $19 a night, and you can eat like kings for $9-$11.

At MidSouth, Ross is the lead instructor and is a very good shooter, Blacky (ex-Navy Seal) and Doc (Radiologist and SWAT team member from Charlotte NC) were the other instructors when we were there, and they were great also.

Here is their website address if you want to check them out: www.weaponstraining.com

I was trying to remember who ran the school. After going to the website I noticed John Shaw's name on the home page. I have the site bookmarked. It sounds like they have a good program. I liked the fact that they shoot a lot and they repeated that more than a couple of times. I don't want to spend my time in a classroom. When we went to the Cooper class, we had a lot of bad weather. High winds and some snow so we did spend some time in the classroom. On the other hand, swapping stories and waiting for better conditions was an experience too.
We had one person who set up a video camera on a tripod and he let it run.
