I would like to comment on my first experience with Suarez International.
The class I am referring to is the Defensive Pistol Class in Chattanooga.
I have no previous training with firearms. This is mainly due to the expense and travel involved with most other organizations that I am familiar with.
I am not much of a writer or typer so I will get to the point.
What I was looking for:
I wanted to learn the proper techniques of handing and firing my firearm.
My Instructor: Randy Harris
Personable, patient, very knowledgeable, and an incredible marksman.
After saying that, he is a modest fellow also.
(You can mail me that check now Randy.:D )
My Instruction:
I was expecting endless, boring routines of nothing but shooting.
We did practice a lot of routines of proper shooting techniques.
But I also learned real world uses of those techniques.
Like being aware of my environment, profiling, and how to be pro-active
to responding to possible threats to myself.
Threats that hopefully can be diffused without the use of violence or the use of my firearm.
If not, I now have a plan and the confidence to execute it.
That is about as short and sweet as I can put that.
Did I get what I was looking for?:
No, I received more than I expected.
I received clear, personal, real world training that I could afford.
Will I consider Suarez International again in the future?
You bet, Randy has interested me in another upcoming class which I plan to attend, hopefully with my wife.
