Yes, numerous folks here and other forums have. An added plus, the ones filming and taking picutres, stand behind the shooters, not in front. [ROFL2][facepalm]
I've trained with Kelly several times, enough to come back and be an assistant instructor. Better than courses I've taken costing twice as much.

I've trained with Kelly several times, including his formal classes, small group "payments" and even helping out as an AI on one of his rifle classes. I've have had nothing but positive experiences. He runs a very safe range, and is very knowledgable about his subject material. He is an exceptional teacher, and expects a lot from his students.
When you take his class, bring your A game. He will call you on your bullshit without sugar coating it, but that is what I expect from an instructor. His classes will refine what you're doing, and send you away with a set of measurable, practical drills to maintain and enhance your skill sets that don't require you to be a bullet hose like some of the other classes I've taken. The round counts for the classes are very reasonable, and the tuition cost a good value.
Bottom line, I would strongly encourage anyone who has not trained with him to take one of his classes. If you have specific questions I'm happy to answer them here or by PM. Hope to see you at class!
I've been in Andy Stanford - OPS classes with Kelly, and I have taken a class from him, too. He's a good instructor and runs a safe range. I'd take a class from him anytime. This class is a great value, especially considering that there is no travel involved for us local guys.

I've done a couple classes with Kelly, and he is very professional and helpful. Kelly goes the extra mile to make sure you're getting the training, and also understanding the reasoning behind it.
My .02 on training with Kelly. My previous training experiences include classes with Larry Vickers, 10-8 Consulting, Blackwater, Ken Hackathorn, H&K and various LE only classes. I’ve also attended instructor courses with the United States Secret Service and NRA.
Kelly offers solid instruction for an incredibly low price. I took the two (2) day rifle class in the fall of 2011. It was worth every penny. I would not describe it as a beginner class. If you haven't shot your rifle before look for something more basic. The class is challenging and offers opportunities to sharpen your skills and overcome weak points.
I hope to take the pistol and CBQ classes this spring. There aren’t many opportunities to do shoot house work in CO. This alone is a rare opportunity.
Feel free to IM me if you want more information.

Kelly is a top-shelf instructor. You will be hard pressed to get this quality of training and instruction anywhere else for the same cost.

Thanks everyone who has posted feedback. Will definately take the pistol class and maybe rifle class if I can swing the days off. Will wait on last class when I am technically sound.
