Hi all,
I've taken quite a few firearms and other defense-related classes over the last 3-4 years.
Generally speaking, I'm used to the bigger names in the training industry commanding $450-550 per 2 day (~16 hours) class. Examples of instructors I've trained with who charge these amounts would be Mike Pannone, Kyle Defoor, Craig Douglas, Jeff Gonzales, Paul Howe, Kerry Davis, and Steve Fisher. A few I've trained with charge a bit less (John Murphy, Suarez International, Center Mass Combat Tactics).
I am on the email list for Free State for their classes. Their Tac Pistol and Tac Rifle 1 classes are $250 each for 4 hours each (if you sign up for both they knock off $50 each). Still, they are essentially charging twice the "going rate" for such classes.
Are people going to these classes? Are the classes filling? Is each class combo-taught by Robert Vogel, Rob Leatham, Kyle Lamb, and Larry Vickers?
Confused....
