Spring Training Season begins… and heads Across the Country!

This week I began the Spring 2011 Training Season. Since I really started as a full time trainer, the spring has always been a busy time, but the last few have really distinguished themselves as being incredibly packed with courses. Having courses back-to-back is always a great thing, but bouncing all around the country without much rhyme or reason to the schedule can start to get old. So, last summer and fall, I started looking further ahead as the schedule was set up for 2011 and I managed to get a pretty good run of courses set up to allow for convenient travel.

The First Class of the Spring 2011 Training Season. Combat Focus Shooting, Philadelphia, PA.

This week, the Spring Training Season kicked off in Philadelphia, PA with an over-full course of 14 students at Frank’s “Double Tap” Indoor Range. It was a great course with a motivated and diverse group of students, including some guys from the area I grew up and one friend I’ve known for about 25 years! In

Bruce hosted and participated in the Philly CFS Course!

April, I’ll be teaching courses in Virginia, Ohio, Tennessee & Arkansas and then I’ll continue teaching courses as I make my west until I end up at the Firearms Academy of Seattle in Washington and finally teaching near Portland, Oregon in mid June.

Of course, it isn’t a perfect schedule… I’ll be leaving the car at some stops and flying back to the east a couple of times for events, Taping (Season Three of S.W.A.T. Magazine TV & Personal Defense Network DVDs!) and some courses that just couldn’t be passed up regardless of the location!

I am really looking forward to making my way across the USA this spring teaching, learning from and getting know a couple hundred students… I hope that some readers of the DRTV Blog will be included! There are still some slots left in some of the courses, for a complete course schedule check out the Combat Focus Shooting website calendar!
