I have no formal training at handleing or shooting a gun. All that I know has been from what the guys in gunshops have told me or what I've learned on Internet. I go to the range more these days, but for most of my time owning guns I lived in state of "HOPE"! I HOPE to never have to use my firearm", and "I HOPE I can hit the BG if situation causes me to draw my firearm!"
__I have a family now, and have decided to take my 2A rights more seriously. I want to carry legally & with confidence that I will be able to use my weapon accurately. I chose a firearm that has an accurate/reliable reputation(Glock 26). Now I want to be sure that I can use it accurately.
__I don't want to take my CHL certification class and end up flunking the shooting accuracy portion. I found a person that offers one on one trainging on marksmanship/gun handling. He also teaches course to obtain CHL in Tx. It's a 2hr deal including instruction/shooting. I was told by his partner that it can be geared specifically towards preparing me to pass the CHL licensing course.
__The course cost is like $100, CHL traing classes have been advertised for $120 including fingerprinting, etc. I'm not sure but I have been told that that does not include state fees, which can run up to another $100+. I have no problem paying the fees to get my CHL, but if this marksmanship training is not worth it then I'd like to know before I decide to do it. No sense in wasting my money.
__If some of you live in the Dallas/Fort Worth(TX) metroplex & are aware of similar trainers, or if you do this type of training by profession I'd love to know your input. If you are a local trainer provide a link or details of your business for contact here or via PM(not sure if that's considered illegal ad posting). If anyone has taken such a course I'd love to know if you thought it was money well spent, and details of what was the immediate impact upon completion(knowledge, better shooting mechanics, etc.).
I hope someone out here can help steer me in the right direction!
