Gunsite has changed my life so much. I was incredibly afraid to shoot prior to my 250 class. Along with many other things, the Brave course has taught me that I need to do more to become comfortable and confident. Jay was good to drive that message home and it is resonating with me. It is funny how you know that you are missing something, but aren’t sure what it was until someone points it out. One other thing that I believe worth mentioning is something that I heard several times from various other male classmates. They would say to me, “My wife would love to be here shooting.” Or I would hear, “My wife would like to learn to shoot.” I thought about this and wondered why they aren’t brining them along, or teaching them how? It is really quite sad when you think about it and I wish the culture could change. I shared this with Fred and thanked him for including me. What could be a more valuable gift than learning to save your life? That is worth more than any diamond ring, or bracelet money could buy. Fred and I will definitely be back. Please pass along my thanks to Bob, Jay, and Steve. You all are wonderful! There is a rapport that you build with your classmates and instructors that is quite special and I/we felt it with Bob, Jay, and Steve. What a great course and we both learned so much. Sincerely, JS
