Thanks looking into it now....do you have any experience with their courses?Look at Sig Academy in Epping, NH
Seems like it. Looks like they are exactly what I'm looking for. Just want to learn as much as i can and you can only do so much at the local rangeI’d second Sig Academy. Was involved there years ago but in all a solid choice of programs.
This is pretty open-ended... What exactly are you looking for? Pistol, rifle, or shotgun? Shooting fundamentals, tactics, competition, looking cool on Instagram, etc?
I'm interested in rifle/carbine classes. I'm past the fundamentals and am pretty accurate out to 300 yards ( that's the farthest setup at my local range ). Basically looking for anything beyond fundamentals. Shooting and moving, clearing rooms, CQB, etc.What kind of tactical training?
Ridgeline not SIG for thatI'm interested in rifle/carbine classes. I'm past the fundamentals and am pretty accurate out to 300 yards ( that's the farthest setup at my local range ). Basically looking for anything beyond fundamentals. Shooting and moving, clearing rooms, CQB, etc.
Ridgeline in NH.
Sig looks like they have a lot of great classes..but Ridgeline looks like it's really catered to what I'm looking for. Thanks for the info guys its greatly appreciatedRidgeline not SIG for that
Examples?I recommend Sig. They are great and I train there often. They will have everything you need from tactical, ccw, medical etc..
Don’t listen to the idiots who offer nothing and just shit all over your question. The question was pretty simple to me. The question was pretty cut and dry…You want tactical training…go to Sig
YouExamples?
OP: go look at Ridgeline as others have stated.
Tactical dynamics is good for a quick class. The instructure are ok, I took a class where obe of the instructors put a round into the bafflesI'm going to be taking some Tactical Dynamics classes in Foxboro, MA this summer for pistol classes maybe shotgun. Cass Training Group in Granby, MA has some great classes for both pistol and rifle I might be taking as well at some point.
Yup. I'd pass on Tactical Dynamics. Took a class there that was supposed to be more intermediate and found most drawing from a holster for the first time ever. It was obvious that the majority of the class had no business being there, but not to dissuade anyone, the instructor thought some timed firing from the holster would be beneficial. After getting flagged by Barney Fife on my left two times, I was like "I'm good!"Tactical dynamics is good for a quick class.

If rather @OnSight Firearms Training or sig or Ridgeline
The one that has a tactical roll after every roundWhat kind of tactical training?
Just be safe. That's the biggest thing I can say.I haven't taken any classes other than safety classes so for me, any class will help me get better regardless on who I take it with. Have shot a lot but haven't taken any classes to get more advanced at shooting. I'm taking tactical dynamics classes first (right down the street from where I live) to get some basics down then going to move to more advance classes like cass training group has once I get more comfortable. I haven't started yet but that's my plan as I want to get a lot better this year at shooting. I'm not set on these plans just giving you the options in Massachusetts I have found from trying to search for the same classes OP is looking for...
Ridgeline is 100% what you are looking for.Sig looks like they have a lot of great classes..but Ridgeline looks like it's really catered to what I'm looking for. Thanks for the info guys its greatly appreciated
I would disagree with that. There are a lot of mall cop instructors out there teaching pure garbage. Whatever class you find, make sure to thoroughly vet the instructor(s) beforehand.I haven't taken any classes other than safety classes so for me, any class will help me get better regardless on who I take it with.
I appreciate the advice! Like I said I am a newerish shooter and just trying to get better so any advice is appreciated! I will certainly keep that in mind moving forward with training!Just be safe. That's the biggest thing I can say.
If you're unsure on the drill or instructions, ask. Take it slow till you're more comfortable with everything, and practice dry fire at home from holster (even if your local range allows it).
But the biggest thing I'd have to say, is have fun. If you're not having fun, it's not with the money in classes and ammo. Remember, yes the training may save you're life (hopefully not needed), but if you can't joke around and have some ball busting fun with the instructors or people in the class, it's not worth going.
I'm still in contact with a few people I took a class with a few years ago, and it's that kind of comodery that comes from these.
you may also want to look at mass firearms for other beginner courses if you haven't taken them, to help build good safety practices
noted! I will certainly ask many questions before taking a class! I'm just starting to look into classes so I only know of a few places and what I stated above is just from my own research. Appreciate your take on it!I would disagree with that. There are a lot of mall cop instructors out there teaching pure garbage.
