I'm just suspicious of firearms instructors and self defense experts that have only 5 years of Law enforcement experience holding them selves out as "Experts" when so many schools by others with actual combat and trigger time are available. Paul Howe comes to mind. Heck, I'll even go to Keith Goerz house and get more training than most the "Tactical" type LEO's that have never seen a two way range in their entire careers. Keith, when you get back let me know I'm still willing to come down to Raeford later this month or August.

I don't think I can help, I'm not a Simulation Safety Instructor. But ill do what I can.
Seeing these commercial Tactical Instructors. The ones who are well known, published or have DVD releases. They have their own Groupies or entourage. In some cases they are worshiped. BTW is just sad.
Could I do what they do? Depends how you look at it. What do they do? The Students they teach pay them to be there, Students bring their own Ammo/Weapons/equipment, provide their own transportation and lodging. In many cases Students provide the Range. They show up and teach. Yes I can do what they do. I have done it several times, used my little Range at the house on occasions.
Could most of them do what I do. From what I have seen. Not many. It's out of their comfort zone. The last two instructors standing here aren't ex SF by chance. Some people in this line of work do not like being around people who know more. I'm glad people are learning how to shoot guns from these Gurus. I often question the reasons people go to these Gurus. Before I question the training itself.
