The only one I've ever taken was the home defense shotgun class at Top Gun. It was a good beginner class where I think you learn a lot of good stuff and the instructor was very pleasant.
Thanks I’ll go check those out!
I’ve taken a dozen classes with live movement etc for handgun and carbine. If you haven’t taken AppleSeed, please take this first. You will learn the best fundamentals anywhere. After that, MDFI has great courses, Suarez international, and Jericho defense. Also anything at the MTC in lake city.
Hey James:
I have taken a number of training courses and the appleseed and the CCW are good ones.
Not saying it is the bestest but if you want to improve your marksmanship skills, and have a lot of fun while doing it, I recommend that you join a team.
For rifle, you should join a local 3 position of 4 position smallbore rifle team.
As for pistol, find your local bullseye team and start competing every week.
While I am not competing much in rifle any more, I do compete in bullseye pistol a couple times a week all year long. Wintertime we compete indoors.
If you would like some recommendations for local pistol teams, shoot me a pm and if you are near me I can direct you to matches next week.
For what it is worth, I took a two day training course with Brian Zins and it was awesome. Google Brian Zins if you have to.

MDFI has some VERY useful classes. Ive trained a few at this point, and looking forward to another one this saturday at bluewater.
Im working through their catalogue to eventually get to low light courses and other more complex ones. Ive done YSINTG (which I got for free due to MGO - awesome perk), foundation carbine, foundation shotgun, I dont remember what else at this point either but their library includes A LOT of different subjects and disciplines and safety is top notch.
