INGO members:

TRAIN WITH JOHN! DO IT!

That is all...

 

[obijohn]

aside from trusting brother rhino's judgment on most everything, training with the Farnums is highly recommended.

Rhino - you beat me to it! Thanks for the plug!

...and for anyone who has any questions, I would be the contact person (Frank) listed on the end there.

The Basic handgun is very close to full, the Rifle still has room. I'd also point out that it is very rare for John to do an entire day of shotgun, so some may want to take advantage of that.

And Vicki's Instructing Women course is open to everyone, you don't have to have any "instructor" credentials to attend.
