Truegent2004 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 I'm taking the Practical Shooting Academy, Competion Handgun course, with Ron Avery, April 2-4 at The Whittington Center. I am so pumped!!! Has anybody taken a course with PSA or planning to? Would love to hear insight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric nielsen Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Ron is very, very good at teaching what you need to know and how you can continue to improve after his class is over. While your AT the class, he will bring out abilities that you never knew you had. Bring a brand new spiral notebook, several pens, and a few hundred rounds MORE ammo than he says you will need. You will not be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Ankeny Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 I took the competition class and no complaints here. Avery is good, but to be honest he does have a touch of attitude, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Gent, I took the same class with Ron Ankeny. Ron Avery is very good! I learned a ton from him and am still learning from the experience. And he has no more attitude than Rush Limbaugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 And he has no more attitude than Rush Limbaugh. That's kind of like saying someone isn't any better at shooting than TGO. Or that someone isn't any slower on a field course than I am. Or that someone isn't any taller than BigDave. The thing I like about Ron Avery is that he seems to be equally well equipped to teach both competition shooting specifics as well as defensive shooting specifics. The general stuff is obviously the same, but a lot of instructors are significantly stronger in one area than the other (if they have any knowledge in the other at all!). I'd like to take a class from him some day, but I think he migh slap me for having an ... attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Ankeny Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 I didn't mean the attitude thing in a negative way so why don't you guys just drop the attitude before I get out a can of virtual whoop ass? Oops, sorry about the attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 I enjoy a guy who tells it like it is, and has the skill to demonstrate what he's talking about. That's Ron's class, no BS, no sacred cows, "it's all shooting". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
