Per Paul Hotaling & Chen Lee there will NOT be a "Night shoot". Bummer! Range restrictions at Prado Olympic Shooting Park in Chino.

Awesome class. Ken's teaching techniques are direct and no BS is included.

He is one of the few instructors I would like to repeat as a student .

Awesome.

My second Advanced Handgun with him (last one was January 2011) and we a lot of different drills but all driven by his core introductory lecture letting you know what you need versus want...
