I'm just wondering if it's a good idea. The price is not cheap, but I can manage that. Are there other alternatives to private instruction? I've read books and watched videos, but as someone succinctly pointed out to me, you don't learn to drive cars by reading books and watching videos either.

Anna, Mendocino College has an advanced firearm course (ADJ 058) that I've taken several times. We meet at the sheriff's training center for the classroom session (about 2.5 hrs.) The next day from 8 to 5 at the gun club. The class is taught by the officer who is the head of the major crime task force. All in all, a good class. Cost is $25. Bad part, it's held in the middle of the week for now, but they are trying to get a week-end one scheduled.
