How to choose a CHL class?

The following is just my opinion and is worth exactly what you paid for it.


1. Stick with instructors who are teaching at a public range, I would stay away from the ones that have a classroom one place and then have everyone go over to a range for the range portion of the course.

Just curious; Why is this important?

Just my opinion, and I know there are exceptions, the more experienced and active instructors will normally either have their own range or have agreements set up with a range that include classroom facilities. Many (not all) of the instructors who are just doing CHL classes on the side and infrequently will not have agreements set up with ranges for classroom facilities. The more established instructors such as Charles, Tom Estep, ect. are affiliated with an established range.

Our outdoor range has no classroom facility. Cabela's has a great classroom, but no range. I would say we are both active and experienced, having taught, on average, 2 classes a month for the past 10 years. Works for us.

I will say....CROSSFIRE ROCKS! I have done classes with several instructors, and Crossfire's classes were top notch

I have to admit the one I chose included a Bar-B-Que lunch which was definatly in their favor.
