Great class. I believe I had seen almost all of the shooters in other classes of Grant's and it was nice to be able to take a class that was focusing on enabling the shooter to realistically evaluate their own skill levels in different areas, without really having to spend any time covering emergency reloads, etc.
As grant mentioned about Tula ammo, one student shooting Tula ammo experienced 5-6 failed primers that had pretty heavy primer strike marks (meaning...it was probably the ammo, not the gun), and one squib load that everyone in the class heard (as the student was shooting the drill on his own). I have been blessed enough not to be forced to shoot bi-metal or super cheap ammo, and many of my local ranges do not allow it...but even if your shooting budget does force you to purchase something cheap, I would never trust Tula ammo after watching that all day.
Per usual, Grant's teaching style and knowledge level are excellent. He constantly remains humble enough to remind students to look up to "better instructors" who he would name in class and recommend. All the same, I'd much rather spend money on a class from him than most other instructors I've paid to shoot with. Most other people who sell gear have no idea how to run it under stress and speed, and Grant will be brutally honest about what works and what doesn't. I've found that more often than not, he usually ends up being right.
Great class, fun group, great weather, great instructor, hard work. Perfect day at the range.
