Group is the former Blackwater company. Looking to see if anyone here has taken their pistol class. They are local to me and was looking for some other training. I would welcome any options on their course.

I have not taken any of their courses, but I have shot competitions, and corresponded with Bill Go who is one of the instructors there, and he's top notch!

Took their carbine course back in 09 prior to our spin up and thought their material and facility was top notch. As a caveat, this was at their Moyock facility and it was led by Kyle Defoor.
Sorry that this info isn't more recent.

Bill Go is the director of their SD operations and one of the lead instructors. Retired Marine Colonel and top-flight competition shooter. He's been with them since the Blackwater days.

I've taken two classes with him, and he is a great instructor. Depends upon the class, but the pistol mechanics class provides excellent info whether you are taking it for self-defense or for competition improvement.

The basics class is very good and Bill Go is an excellent instructor for all levels.
It is in their large indoor range but with no lanes so movement can be practiced.

Another vote for Bill Go, he shoots our club match sometimes and a really nice guy with skills to match.
