I took Farnam's Basic Defensive Pistol course in February. I will agree with the Captain--it was not what I had expected--it was a heck of a lot more. It was a bit disconcerting to find that most of the skills and habits acquired throughout 25 plus years of IPSC, PPC and other competition experience were really bad habits.

I can't wait to take his Advanced Defensive Class. I hope he offers it in Dallas or Oklahoma City within the year. As for the ladies, Vicky Farnam teaches a women's only class from time to time. Contact her through John's webpage.

John has also updated his text book of defensive pistol shooting fairly recently. I strongly recommend it.
Regards to all, Jack
