Any info on A.D.A.T.

Have been considering taking a training coarse for CCW. These guys are currently offering their $150 course for $50. Has anyone taken or know anyone who has taken a course from these guys?

[Great-Kazoo]

Why the price cut, over priced to start or, training not conducive to cost of class?
With any CCW class what are you getting for your time & money?
A great intro class that went above & beyond what you though it would be. A class the instructor spent more talking about him being a LE / war stories than actually teaching, info, etc?
OR a class that gave you what you needed for the money spent?

Saw that this morning on the news. Guess its a dealchicken thing for $50. I have no need for another class of this sort but I also wondered how they were. Might be good for the wife.

Their website seems to be void of specifics covered by the course, which is only 3 hours long. Would have a real problem spending any more then $50 for 3 hours.

Again, the question is what are you getting for the cost of a class? I agree the web site is very vague in regards to the bang for the buck.

Regardless of cost I don't think a 3 hour course is worth it. Just not enough for what it is.

Guess my question is answered, will look elsewhere. Any suggestions, lots of places to consider.

[spleify]

Let me know if you are interested. I plan on doing a class in a couple/few weeks

[spleify]

Oh, and like Jim said there is a reason someone would only charge $50 for a class. I woudl also be suspect of someone dropping their price that much

Isn't it a groupon deal? You can drop your price a lot if it guarantees you more attendance than usual.

This board has what an easy dozen certified firearms instructors? The classes range from 3hrs - a full day, granted $$$$ depends on what you can afford.

The state will accept a hunter safety card,or a DD214, within 10? years. The state does not require a single round be fired either. EVERY gun show one or 2 different places offer CCW classes during the show, again no live fire.

The whole what should be taught, how, who, what, when , where, why's have been beaten to death. How you feel about a 3 hour class, will not be what others agree, or disagree with. At one point i felt the same, based upon what i see and know by all means take a 3hr class. THEN get more training.
Should you attend a class that includes live fire? IMHO, why not, a gun is a tool, like a chainsaw, a dangerous one if you do not know how to operate it safely. However the bottom line is what works best for you? Is a 3 hrs class a good starting place for future education, of course it is.
Not everyone can afford X dollars for a class, ammo for live fire AND the $150ish to apply for the permit.
Sit in a basic class learn something then go from there.
Let your brain be the judge of whether that 3hr lecture or 8 hour lecture, live fire class was what you needed for a start.

EVERYONE ALWAYS learns something from any firearms class they attend be it x hrs to a full week. YMMV.

I'd recommend BluCore- they're really good, and have trigger time... I took an impromptu block of instruction from Eric (one of the owners and a fmr ST6 member), he's great! I plan on taking more classes from him in the near future! [Beer]

In light of expert advice and further research I will be renewing my hunting license, which is more then 10 years old, then applying for CCW. After receiving my license I will then have no problem spending a $150 on an advanced pistol course, as I am more then comfortable with my current pistol fundamentals. And yes Blucore will be my place of study. Signed up for a one year membership two weeks after they opened and nothing but great experiences. The birth of my first kid the only reason I am not currently still a member.
