Attending the 250 Defensive Pistol Class has been a goal of mine for quite some time now, so hearing I was awarded the Scholarship left me completely stunned. Taking a class at Gunsite was a wonderful experience from beginning to end, and one I will never forget. I made a …

Comments from Matt Jamison:
Thank you so much for providing me with the opportunity to attend and complete the 250 class last week. Any expectations that I had going into the class were exceeded by the professionalism of the instructors, and the quality of the training. It truly was an honor to be able to come and be a part of the legacy that your father left behind at Gunsite.
I feel that the training I received will help me to be a better Deputy, and it is my hope that other Deputies will see the improvements that I made while training and will pursue opportunities to better themselves as well. As one of the Rangemasters for the Sheriff’s Office where I work, I intend to incorporate some of the drills that we used into some of our training, and I will encourage the Deputies to pursue additional training on their own time as well.
I don’t know that I can fully articulate the benefit of this experience to me, as I am sure that there are many things that I have not yet considered. I hope that I will never have to use these skills, but I know that if I am forced into a situation where it is necessary that I have been provided with all of the skills that are required.

Comments from Theresa Rodgers:
Dear, Jeff Cooper Legacy Foundation,
I am truly honored to have been awarded the Jeff Cooper Gunsite 250 Scholarship, which allowed me to attend the renowned Gunsite Academy 250 course. This experience has been transformative, both personally and professionally.
Over the course of the class, I honed my marksmanship skills and learned invaluable techniques in defensive shooting, all while being immersed in the legacy of Jeff Cooper. The instructors were exceptionally knowledgeable, fostering an environment that emphasized safety, skill, and confidence.
The camaraderie among fellow students was inspiring, as we all shared a passion for responsible firearms usage and personal protection. I left Gunsite not only with improved skills but also with a deeper appreciation for the principles of firearms safety and responsibility.
This scholarship has opened doors for me, and I am committed to sharing the knowledge and skills I gained with my community. Thank you to the Jeff Cooper Foundation for this incredible opportunity; it has truly been a life-changing experience!
Thank you,
Theresa
