Handgun Courses in FL?

I'm looking for some basic defensive handgun courses in Florida. I plan on taking the basic NRA course sometime soon, but I'd like to go even further.

I have to take that course because I can hit paper, but not accurately. My shots are all over the place at times.

Anyone have any suggestions for South Florida. Palm Beach County area?

Oh, and I also need to mention I'm 18.

Miggy would you mind PMing me that address as well? I live in Boynton Beach so that's my neck of the woods.

Also consider checking out Florida Safety & Health Educators. David Aronow actually taught my CWP class. He's got years and years of LEO experience and was excellent to listen to during the course. I haven't taken any of his tactical classes yet, but I intend to once I get my P239 that I will be carrying.

So I was thinking after watching some videos of IDPA matches and I think I'd like to do that. It definitely looks like a lot of fun and its the type of shooting I think i could learn a lot from. This would be after I take a couple courses and become a better marksman.

I tried joining the TSSA forums but I was rejected. Not sure what's up there.

If only I wasn't so busy on weekdays. I'm still in high school, and I play football so I can't do anything during the week.

I'm also no where near Titusville. That's about a 4 hour drive north for me.
