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.

Random Quote:

“The 1911 pistol remains the service pistol of choice in the eyes of those who understand the problem. Back when we audited the FBI academy in 1947, I was told that I ought not to use my pistol in their training program because it was not fair. Maybe the first thing one should demand of his sidearm is that it be unfair.”
