Well like the title says - any good recommendations? I want to go and get familiar with safe handling/procedures/etc before I go to the range in the near future.

Funny you should ask, but I'm going to a class tomorrow @ Reeds. They're in santa clara, probably too far away, but I believe that most ranges have a basic firearm class. I don't know which places are best or recommended.

I just go here to shoot when I need to Zero in my rifle scopes or it's raining and want to shoot. Indoor.

www.WestCoastTacticalTraining.com

Couple of off-duty San Jose Officers teach the courses.

Contact Patrick and Dave

tacticaltrainingassociates@gmail.com

I was one of their first students so the classes were pretty small when I went. I have nothing but praise for their teaching style and for them as instructors. Recently I have heard the classes have been packed, you may want to see if they have any openings.

Let them know Dustin sent you.

I shoot at Reeds since I work close to there, but I took my pistol course in San Rafael at Bullseye. I think that place is better than Jackson Arms. The training pistol course (3 hrs) was on sale through groupon too : )

Thanks,
Arnold

Out of curiosity what didn't you like about Jackson? They used to be over where Lowes now is off the 101 in SSF (also where Underwater World had a very brief stint)

Screw the course.
Just don't point it at anyone and you'll be fine. Smile
