Looking For AAR / Course Review of Boone County Intro to Defensive Pistol Course

[Jackson]

Can anyone link me to some reviews and AARs of Sheriff Campbell's Intro to Defensive Pistol course? Specifically the 2 day course, not the Gunsite 3 day course.

I have taken it and I would like some of my friends to take it. I'd like to be able to present them with some other opinions about the course. I know I've seen people come back and report on course content and instruction, but I can't seem to find any of the reports for this course.

If anyone can help me out with some links, I would appreciate it.

It's an excellent course for the beginner. He has a very mellow approach to teaching class (and his instructors), it's a relaxed atmosphere that puts people at ease and facilitates learning. There is a classroom portion as well as live fire. A partial list of what's covered in class is:

• gun handling
• marksmanship
• mindset

• drawstroke
  • from different carry positions including a purse
• sight alignment, sight picture, trigger control
• stance
• some strategies for home protection (not in depth, not the class purpose)
• reloads
• malfunction clearance
• he covers the revolver as well, but the majority of people bring semi autos
• live fire

Ken Campbell's 2 day Introduction To The Defensive Pistol class is one of the few classes that I would be comfortable sending a son / daughter or wife to without me.


ETA: cut and paste the link

for Biohazard. I took this class a few years ago (prior to the Gunsite offering) Sheriff Campbell and his staff gave a very informative classroom lesson and live-fire instruction. I took my course in the fall IIRC, and it was CHILLY!!!
