Sig Sauer Academy
- Has anyone been?
- What courses did you take? - Can you give an overview of what you learned? - Approximate cost of the course/s? - I see that special ammo is required for many classes, what do the prices look like at Epping for their special ammo? Thanks for any and all info.

- Has anyone been?
I have. - What courses did you take? Urban Rifle with John Farnham. (Guest Instructor) - Can you give an overview of what you learned? Not an easy task, but here goes... at a very high level. The course covered the skills nessicary to defensivly employ a rifle in an urban area. Items that stand out in my mind are, dealing with "clutter" (Innocent people / obstacles), shooting from cover, rifle to pistol and pistol to rifle transitions, verbal challenges . Too much to cover succinctly with out my notes, which I don't have access to right now. - Approximate cost of the course/s? I want to say approx $500 - $550ish. - I see that special ammo is required for many classes, what do the prices look like at Epping for their special ammo? I remember the ammunition prices at Sig Academy to be actually quite good. I did not purchase any of their ammo as my course did not require frangable ammunition. My impressions is that the Sig Academy is a great place to be challenged, humbled, and instructed. I wholeheartedly reccomend it. VR Matt |
