Okay, thanks all for your input. everyone here basically stated everything I have done and what I need to do. (you guys and gals are mind readers.) I have watched hours and hours of youtube tactical training and it has been a good help. however, as some of you stated, i'm a range guy, hands on. I love shooting and being given a state of mind and surroundings when training. I think that's key. msjdgman, I actually took my class with Skip. He has been around the block. no complaints. i'll take all of your advise and let you know the outcome. I appreciate all your input.

thanks
scott
