    I just registered for an upcoming offering of the Defensive Handgun Course through Hafer's/ShootSafe (took their W&C course last summer). Really looking forward to it. Has anyone taken this course? How was it?

    Haven't taken their course but some of the ShootSafe instructors were in a certification class I took a while ago and they are first class people. You should have a solid day.

    OP Back with an update - I just got back a short while ago. I strongly recommend this course if you're in the area and thinking about it. Tim and the Shootsafe Staff provide excellent hands-on training and instruction. Like all good trainings, I came away with lots of new lessons to incorporate into my personal SD training (and some gaps to address, as well). I can absolutely see taking this course again in a year or two. Also, the training was held on Hafer's new training range - very nice range and setup. I believe that this was their first class at that location. :thumbsup:

    Now I'm going to have a beer and let the minor aches/pains from the weekend work themselves out.

    Glad you learned a lot. Their crew seemed like a solid team when I met them. Now I feel even better recommending them.

    Shootsafe is Hafer's training division. Price on the main page seem to be out of date (current is actually lower). Current pricing is visible for all courses if you hit "register".
