    Default Training recommendations near Kennedy TWP?

    Greetings. I just moved here from AZ a couple months ago and need to get some training. I've been shooting for a few years and have had some informal training by friends with lots of training, but now I have no friends, so I need to start paying for it like everyone else.

    My interests are purely self defense related training (low light, malf clearing, shooting from different positions, using cover, etc.) and I have no desire to compete.

    I was on the training schedule page (much thanks BTW) but have no idea who's good and who's not near me so I thought I'd ask if you guys can recommend anyone?

    Thanks!

    Check out this web site. They haven't posted the training for 2014 but it should be up soon.

    Very good instructors.

    I have done training with Protective shooting concepts,and 3T,and thought that both groups offered worthwhile training.


    I would not hesitate to attend either groups training again.

    3T has a handgun course this weekend,and is offering a $25.00 dollar discount for PAFOA members.

    Sign up is on the training thread.

    I'm not affliated with either group.

    Google maps makes it look NW of the city, but OK.

    +1 for F.I.R.E. Institute and 3T.

    Edit: F.I.R.E. Institute just posted some 2014 classes on their site.

    Hey, do you know how strict they are about their hat policy? I don't wear hats. That's a serious question.
