I Need Pistol Training in NY State,
Hey Guys,
I got my pistol permit a little over half a year ago. Before that I shot a few pistols here and there by (prior to the NY CT bans) my father was a bit of a fudd. He taught me how to shoot rifles really well, but not much experience on the pistol front other then a half dozen or so plinking sessions here and there.
I have about 1000 rounds through pistols of various calibers in the last several months. I'm getting better, but I'm at a point of frustration.
All of my shots are low, grouping is OK with some fliers (to be expected as I get better), but I'm consistently low. I really want to do some training. My issue though is that I'm not a beginner shooter, so I don't want to take a "pistols for dummies" course. 95% of the shots I'm taking are on paper with this target: http://sport.birchwoodcasey.com/Libr...rget.sflb.ashx
I'm thinking I need to get some professional help to bring my shots in to dead center though.
Does anyone have any suggestions for good, no bull trainers in the Hudson Valley area? I am willing to drive about 3 hours one way to attend a class.

Chris Fry is excellent! No doubt!
You said that you'd be willing to drive up to 3 hours away for a good class....then I'd also highly recommend King 33 in Southington, CT. King 33 is owned by Chris Fields, an 18B/Special Forces Weapons Sergeant, who is an outstanding instructor. What's unique about King 33 is that they're one of the only training companies in the region, maybe the only one, using Simunitions for force-on-force training for military, LE, and civilians. Nice thing about the Sims training classes is that we have the Sims weapons there and no need or worries about bringing your own. Guys come from NY, MA, and RI all the time for classes.

Full disclosure - I'm an instructor at King 33 also.
