    I went through Thunder Ranch in 1996, when it was in Mountain Home, Texas. I learned more in the 5 days there than any comparable period I can remember. Clint is one of a kind and an outstanding instructor. He is also hilarious in his talks to the class, so you remember what he says! If you can at all afford it, go! You will never regret it.

    Tough to decide which to go to–Clint Smith's, Mas Ayoob's, or Jeff Cooper's place. Cadillac, Lincoln, Rolls… (no particular order). Mas seems to have pioneered looking at the aftermath and what antigun or unprincipled DA's try to do to you (or seems so in early articles and then over the years), and could write a thesis on his research. Clint is just great in common sense and experience and smarts. Gunsite–maybe gold standard?

    It appears from the pictures that full size auto's are being used and demonstrated for self-defense. The majority of people who have concealed carry licenses that I know, carry compacts with 2" or 3" barrels. I hope the show demonstrates these types of weapons too.
