Just came back from a 3 day training class. The class was taught by Ken Frisbie (retired LEO). Great class. Covered the following topics:

 

Shooting while moving

Shooting from cover

Shooting moving targets

Close Quarters shooting

Force-on-force in a shoot house (using Simunitions)

CAPS simulator machine

 

Class was a blast....literally. Had a great time and learned some new things.

 

I would definitely recommend it.

Where was this? Sounds like a good class

Sorry, should have included that in my original post.

 

The class was at the Smith and Wesson Academy in Springfield Mass.

no worries - if i wasn't being lazy, I would've just googled it

 

What was your opinion of CAPS? Didn't realize something like that was available for civilians.. or was this a LEO-only class?

How many rounds did you go through?

CAPS was pretty cool. However, I liked the force-on-force simunitions training better than CAPS. One of the nice things about CAPS was that while some of the scenarios are repeats (you've seen them before) the endings are different. Meaning, the first time you go through a specific scenario, its a no shoot. The next time, everything looks the same, but instead of the bad guy putting down the bat.......he comes at you and you must shoot. Keeps you on your toes.

How many rounds did you go through?

 

We went through about 250 regular rounds, and around 50 rounds of simutions.

 

I have to give the instructor credit. This was not a class where you just shoot alot of rounds downrange. The class focuses more on Shoot/Don't Shoot than it does on shooting technique.

 

While the round count may sound low to some people, I found it to be adequate.

 

I attended a two day class at Sig Sauer in New Hampshire where in two days we went through around 850 rounds. That class was good too, just different.
