+1 on Tactical Response...very good Company all the way around.

Tom Givens is an excellent instructor and well worth the time and money at Rangemaster.

I have taken classes at TAC2.com in Greeneville,TN. Classes are small one on one attention. For the price in can not be beat.

[Guest GlocKingTN]

There is also another one in Memphis called Range USA. - www.rangeusa.com ! I took my THCP class there. They do all sorts of training and reasonable on prices as I recall.

Range USA here in Memphis. I work there so I'm biased, but I'll say this as a fact, we sure do get alot of RangeMaster's customers. Our instructors are top notch and all are law enforcement or ex-military. Great atmosphere and several classes to offer. www.rangeusa.com

[Guest Loaded247]

Most of the training I have received has been out of state (Thunder Ranch and a few other places), but IN Tennessee, I've taken a class at RangeMaster, which I enjoyed, and I took the NRA Law Enforcement Instructor Course at the Memphis Police Academy. I took a Remington Armorer's Course at Personal Protection in Nashville.

I want to look at several more of the Tennessee offerings, such as Tactical Response, RangeUSA, etc., and I will decide accordingly. I spend my time day in and day out training OTHER folks (Law Enforcement), but I like to take at least one class a year, just for the opportunity to 'be a student'.

The next class I will be taking will be at the end of April, first week of May, in St. Louis, MO. It is the S&W Academy Law Enforcement Firearms Instructor Recertification.

By this spring, I'm going to be doing personal instruction (outside of LE), but I intend that to be one on one, or very small groups.

You certainly seem to attract a better looking lot of students than we do!

[Guest Len]

Yeah, the owner of HGR has a photography biz on the side. He's tried to combine his two loves into one.

You guys do great work out there from what I hear. Keep it up. The more people who are safe and competent, the better.

[James Yeager]

You are welcome to attend a class sometime.

[Guest Len]

I plan to. You guys do some interesting stuff out there. I'd like to do Fighting Pistol Primer, then Fighting Pistol, then go from there. I keep an eye on your website.

[James Yeager]

You can skip the primer and you are welcome to attand Fighting Pistol in Camden as my guest.

[Guest Len]

James:

That is EXTREMELY nice of you! Thanks! I have checked your website and see potential weekends for me in March, April, May and June that could work for me. I'll email you when I get it nailed down.

Thanks again.

[James Yeager]

No problem. Lodging is included with that offer.

Friday before last I received 4 hours of one on one instruction from Tommy Ferguson at RangeUSA. Then Saturday I took the carry permit class at RangeUSA with a buddy that lives near Memphis. It was absolutely the best store/range/training experience I have ever had. I experienced NONE of the usual elitist attitude I've experienced in other gun stores and ranges. Mr. Ferguson was a fantastic trainer. I chose him because he'd been to all the schools and classes I would like to attend, if I had the time and money. Taking a class one on one allowed me to go as far as I could in the time I had, and I feel much more confident in my ability to protect my family and myself if confronted with violent intent. The Carry Permit class which could have easily been 8 hours of VERY dry material was kept entertaining and informative by the instructor Chip Holland. I highly recommend RangeUSA, I feel I got much more than my moneys worth and it was well worth the trip from Nashville.

If anyone is looking for good training in both basic practical and advanced defensive handgunning courses, as well as rifle and shotgun courses, I might suggest Austin's Tennessee Firearms Training School in Oak Ridge (just west of Knoxville). This is not a gun store so the instructors and staff don't sell guns, ammo, leather or other accessories. NRA, TN Dpt of Safety and POST Certified instructors on staff. The website is http://firearmsclasses.com and the contact information is-

969 Oak Ridge Turnpike #227 Oak Ridge, TN 37830-8832

865.483.1108

Training for Safety, Self Defense and Sport. Don't settle for the training that comes in the box.

[highshot]

I took my permit class at Austins very good class.

[Guest Phantom6]

Thank you so very much for the plug highshot and don't forget about your 10% discount (available for all former students) on any future training you wish to take advantage of.
