Hello OSAers, I've noticed that the NRA Basics classes (Personal Protection In/Outside the Home) are fairly popular at the local ranges that teach classes. I have taken Pistol Skills 2 and 3 at H&H (taught by Will Andrews), and am at the point where I am ready to take a 'major' pistol class--I'd really like to take Fighting Pistol at Tactical Response (Cambridge, TN--James Yeager's company).
The NRA courses listed above seem like a pretty well-priced class with good information, but would I be better off saving my $$ for a 2-3 day class like Fighting Pistol or Advanced Combat Pistol at TDSA? I realize that, yes, the NRA classes are worthwhile and all, but I (like all of us) am looking for the option that provides the the most efficient allocation my financial resources. Essentially my question boils down to, is there any portion of Protection Inside/Outside the Home that wouldn't be covered in a multi-day pistol class from a reputable group?
I should mention that I am heavily favoring saving my money and taking Fighting Pistol (or similar). From what I gather, the NRA classes involve a good deal of classroom instruction and 'some' shooting. No doubt the folks at Tactical Response have a portion of time dedicated to classroom instruction, but the round count is 1000 for goodness sakes (which I infer to mean a heavy emphasis is placed on 'seat time')!
Thanks!
