    AZ shooters: Anyone taken "Adaptive Firearms Institute" courses?

    I found their website while asking around the local area for carbine courses but can't seem to find any information that would vet their instructors. Their location and schedule seems convenient for me but I was wondering if anyone has taken any of their courses or can vet any of the instructors.

    Their bios are here: http://www.adaptivefirearms.com/category-s/1822.htm

    Hello codename,

    Came across this thread while doing a little research on AFI and am curious if you ever made it out to one of the classes (or if anyone else has since this thread was posted)?

    Going to check some of our local shooting forums as well. Fortunately in AZ we have a lot of options, but I'm genuinely curious about this group.

    I don't mean to necropost but I could not find the LF thread about him. Can someone confirm what Steve said?

    I should think what Steve said, was enough. With that said I know who he is and he is 100% PHONY. Do not waste your time or money on this guy.

    Iraqgunz, thank you for the post. Anyone in the Valley of the Sun you recommend? AZ-wide, Gunsite is the obvious, but some weekend training closer to home would be appreciated.

    Drifting Fate, sorry to interject. I would recommend Glen Stilson and Independance Training. I've taken two courses with Glen and his team. I highly recommend him. Glen is located in Peoria.
    Good luck
