Any good shooting instructors in the Vancouver area?

you sir are a fruitcake. I'd be honored to have you attend S&D as a guest instructor any night. you needing to take classes on pistol shooting from someone like me is ridiculous.

Damn... I wish there was something like that in the Ottawa area. I could really use some real instruction.

I got the magpul pistol dvd's and I think I'm doing things the same way they teach, but I just can't get as fast or accurate as the people on the dvd.

I think you have me confused with someone else....

I only shoot my guns a couple times a year, and mostly buy cool stuff to pose with in front of the mirror, or to take pictures of to post on gun forums.

It was a great night last night. Got to watch a brand new, and I mean brand new, shooter get his start and a highly experienced shooter drop a mag out of the gun during a drill. We will be out this Friday at 7pm for our normal class. As well I've had interest in a full day class again and will be forming that up soon.

I don't remember seeing that. Clearly it never happened.
 
I did my PAL though Murray Gardner. He is a competition pistol shooter and very experienced. He is also on the board of the Poco club. See mdgardner dot com

By the way, how much ammo are you guys going through in an evening? Just wanna make sure I bring enough.

minimum 200 rounds, I have never gone over 300 though.

This thread is great. It's awesome to see people take an interest in shooting instruction.

Any moron can buy a gun...all it takes is the money to afford it. Shooting is something else entirely. I see way more "gun owners" than "shooters" so every time I see a "gun owner" turn into a "shooter" I'm stoked.

Really great to see more guys getting out and absorbing some skills.

It would be really interesting to get WP out for a guest instruction thing...we'd learn a different sort of skill, I would guess.

Hopefully I will see you all out there in the next week or two.

I've had a bunch of PM's asking me about Skills and Drills, so I figure since they came from people reading this thread I'd answer them all here.
Who am I? Rob Engh. I've been instructing and competing, since 2000, shooting handguns since 1991. I've hosted and trained with some of the top instructors in North America, Ernest Langdon, Todd Green, a bunch of guys from Tactical Response (James, Aaron, Paul, Jay and a name that escapes me right now), Ken Hackathorn and also trained with Todd Jarret. On top of that I've trained with, and taught with a number of the local police and government agencies, both on live fire and force on force. I've got my own training company Active Shooter, which provides training for anyone from the brand new shooter to the high level competitor to military or police. My main focus is handgun, it's my true love, although I also shoot service rifle and sniper rifle (don't step outside my lane with instruction though). As well I don't really teach tactics or mindset stuff, my focus is teaching people how to shoot, shoot well, and gain the knowledge necessary to continue on their own after they leave.
Skills and Drills is an offshoot of the club I founded at Abby in 2000, Abbotsford Tactical Shooters. It was designed to help people who wanted to get into either the tactical or competitive type shooting environments in a safe and comfortable learning environment.
Am I any good? Well I've been doing this for 12 years, so I must be doing something right. I'm one of the top competitors in Canada in Production Div in Canada (#2 right now) and regularly represent Canada in international matches. I am not a "do it my way" type instructor. I show you what I think works, and will help you with it as long as you want, if however my way isn't for you, I'm fine with that. I know I still have a ton to learn, and will be learning for the rest of my life. Teaching often helps me understand the things I've been taught.
S&D is the longest running training night in Canada, almost every week for the last 12 years, excepting when my work gets in the way or matches do. All I ask is that people listen, be safe, and have fun when they attend.
If you are going to spend money on a course, make damn sure you check credentials of the instructors, and the company they work for. I know for example that the courses being on the Island by One Shot Tactical are good courses with a great instructor.

All you need, right there.

Well said! My thoughts exactly..... so 300 rounds it is. Thanks
 
dude I just put on my LBV for the first time since the Hack course, I had to let it out 2 inches, XXL my ass.
 
Wp

WP used to be invited to our classes but he showed up with his airsoft gear and started doing ninja rolls all over the range..... and that was prior to the safety briefing!! Equally disconcerting was the fact that he was doing it while wearing nothing but an orange thong and a 5.11 chest rig that fit his ample man-boobs like a bra. When I asked him to stop, he humped my leg then ran off and wouldn't come out of the woods near the range until he was offered cookies and milk.:eek:
We finally bundled him back into his Smart car and ensured that he safely arrived home to his mother's house where he returned to his computer in the basement.
So, there are no courses in the Ottawa area..... for him.... everyone else is invited to attend.

Slavex... thanks for the endorsement! You've done some damn good things out on the west coast for the shooting community! :)
