Background: I'm a somewhat experienced firearms user, I served 13 years in the Army in a non-combat role, meaning I've qualified with an M-16 at the range about every 6 months usually scoring expert or very high sharpshooter (something like 30-40 hits out of 40 rounds at distances up to 300 meters with no optics). I've been out for quite a while so I'm sure I'm not quite that good anymore. I also have had a few hours' worth of pistol instruction with an NRA instructor about a year ago. I go to the range probably twice a month to shoot pistols and rifles and I can shoot "minute of chest cavity" at hallway distances with the pistol and can still group up the rifle shots pretty well, but I don't have ready access to anything more than 100 yard ranges.
What I'm looking to do when I get back home from this current (contractor) deployment in Afghanistan is to spend some of this hard earned danger pay on a 3-5 day pistol class. I've looked at Thunder Ranch (cheapest), Gunsite (middle), and Front Sight (very expensive). I was wondering if anyone had any feedback on any or all of these facilities.
Thanks.
