[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1322046, member: 1132"] I would say that many instructors teach sport/hobby shooters and that would be the way to go. LAV teaches people who do it for a living, whose lives depend on the instruction he imparts. If you want to attend a LAV or similar class and you don't do it for a living, you'd better be ready to walk the walk and talk the talk or they're likely going to send you packing. They consider the lives of their students who are serious practicioners over the almighty dollar. That their students walk away from serious encounters alive is their stock in trade. I'd consider Super Dave Harrington to be an egotistical showman, but I'd never have the gall to go up to him and debate his choice of gear or tactics. I'm not defending the marketing strategy of DD here, just pointing out that their view of the AR market they most want to serve is slightly different than your average hobbyist. [/QUOTE]
