I bought, viewed, and practiced the magpul pistol and rifle series. I also shoot regularly and compete in martial arts. They are good but I am looking for something hardcore.

With that said I want a very complete and comprehensive combat pistol survival course. I work for a rural agency and plan on taking more PD tests to get into a better department. My agencies coverage area has yet again expanded with the lower budgets of other departments. The training that regular officers get is not satisfactory in my opinion.

Blackwater seems expensive and seems to offer less than tactical responce. I have also looked at Tactical Solutions and Concepts.

I will also be looking for a very good rifle course.
The way of the rifle is taught twice a year and looks like a combo of their rifle courses.

Has anyone trained here or any other place? Thunder Ranch Frontsite etc are laid back. I want down and dirty combat proven techniques that bring guys back from a disadvantaged position. I hope to bring these techniques back to teach fellow officers.

I am not on a Cert team but have above average shooting skills. I want to take my training to the highest level possible. I would prefer to go for a week and nock it all out instead of going to a bunch of 2 day classes.

This class looks good but the way they shoot over other peoples heads seems less than safe.

I think learning the down and dirty get yourself home techniques of special ops and contractors is better than laid back thunder ranch. Right now I deal with stuff with no backup. I plan on moving on to a city department in the next two years or so. Right now im single and want to train hard. With homeinvasions and violent crime these days I think training is important for everyone that carries a weapon.

Study this video. Do everything in the video this guy does. Practice with live people as hostages like in the video. Bask in your supreme awesomeness and your great success. Post video of you doing all this. Be sure you are wearing an 'Affliction' t-shirt since you "regularly compete in martial arts" and everyone needs to know this. On a serious note, you are not going to "take your training to the highest level" by taking a 1 week class. It will come from daily/weekly practice, using proper techniques. If you really are asking, I would look at this site for tips and classes in your area:

Try not to come off like a jackass in the class like you do in your 1st post. Good luck in life.

For the record, my personal view of Piazza falls somewhere between Obama, Hitler, and mushrooms on my pizza. I hate them all in case you didn't catch that.

I was thinking I could take a class that with teach what I need to know. I shoot my .22 once a week b.c its cheap. I want to broaden my skill level so I have more to practice. I wanted to say I practice martial arts to show that I train more than the average guy.

Find a copy of the USAMU Pistol Marksmanship Guide on the internet (google). Read and Study it, then practice Bullseye with you 22. Get to where you can keep all the shots in the black. Then move to you're "active" shooting games.

Then do the same thing with the AMU's Service Rifle guide, learn to shoot, then move to "action" games.

Martial arts tells me nothing about one's shooting program. Shooting is mental more then phyical.

A note on your post: You brag about your hunting dog after the hunt, not before. I've been shooting a long time, I approach a new desiplan by being "HUMBLE", it gives people the ideal you want to learn. Then three things happen:

I learn something
I have fun
I make new friends
