Bill Jeans

New to the forum, hello

I might have the chance to do a class with Bill Jeans. What class would you recommend of his ...shotgun, pistol, carbine?

I've done his Intermediate Defensive Pistol course and will be taking the Advanced version this fall. IMO, Bill is a phenominal instructor and is one of few people on my "shor" list of people I train with whenever I get the oppertunity.

Bill Jeans was one of the instructors for a 5-day Handgun 2 class I attended at Thunder Ranch before they left Texas. He is a great instructor, and I wouldn't hesitate to take another class with him for any platform.

I haven't trained with Bill, yet, but in dealing with him trying to host a carbine instructor course, he was a gentleman. He also was not above recommending others who could help me. He did everything he could to help a fellow cop in need.

Bill is on my short list. A guy I would trust with my life, my kids and my wife recommends him. That's all I've got.

Who else did he recommend? I have heard he is a shotgun guru, too

Bill loves the shotgun. He has stated on several occasions that a shotgun was his prefered weapon for making entries with.

I did a handgun class with him. We did shooting, and some hand-to-hand stuff that worked in with the shooting. Very educational.

TD1 there was a LOT of talking. I was anxious to get to the shooting and was sitting there thinking "come on, let's SHOOT". I should have paid more attention. After TD3 on the long drive home, all the things he talked about on TD1 with regards to mindset etc. really began to sink in. Changed the way I think about the whole self-defense thing entirely.

Great instructor. Would love to get a chance to do carbine with him.

Oddly enough, I've never taken a class from him even though I live here in AZ.

I thought he had retired.

Not only is Bill a great instructor, he is quite the student of history. He is very interesting to talk to, and an all around great guy.

Yep, good point. Very well rounded guy and always has something to chat about no matter the subject at hand.
