Here you go, Ed

Absolutely worth it. Mas has a wealth of information that he shares. Half the class is on the range and half is in the classroom. Take lots of notes.

*This course is being taught by a Guest Instructor “Massad Ayoob” there will be no refunds allotted only Range Credit*

 

Confusing statement....is Ayoob scheduled to teach, or is someone else?

Thanks Brian.

I've taken his MAG40 class (with him teaching it) in Florida, with all his home town asst. instructors.  An excellent group of folks. I highly recommend it.

 

Thanks.  Im just trying to get as much info as possible. Its a big commitment. 800$.  4 days and 6 am to 9 pm days for me if i do it.  

I haven't taken a class with Ayoob but I hear his lecture portion is great. I really like his revolver stuff too - he has a pretty cool method of reloading that fast and simple.

I have seen some of his Panteaeo videos and personally think his TTPs are a bit dated, but still effective.

Also, if you complete one of his classes, and get caught up in a DPF situation where you use force, he will be an expert witness for the low price of a 6 pack and a couch to crash on. He has a very good support network for his students. 

If I had an extra $800 in the training budget, I would attend.

Ok thanks.  I was thinking of bringing the revolver since pretty much thats all ive been competing with for the last year.  

Gracias. 

I did the range portion last year and the lecture portion the year before.  You will basically get 40 hours of training, and the 20 hours of lecture alone would be worth the money.

I'd agree with HE that some of his procedures may be a bit dated but he's got solid reasoning, research and case law behind his decisions so you really can't go wrong with what he has to say.  Some of the stories alone are worth the price of admission.

I didnt do the class but it looks like there were just shy of 20 cars there today for the class.  

Check him out on youtube, lot's of video's, will give you a good idea of his teaching style and lecture content.

I'm still saving up for mag-40,... almost there.
