Sig Sauer Academy, Epping, New Hampshire - https://www.sigsaueracademy.com/
I attended the Semi-auto pistol and patrol rifle instructor classes.  See the https://2ahawaii.com/index.php?topic=22710.msg203654#msg203654 for my review.  They teach military, law enforcement, and civilians in pistol, rifle, shotgun, precision rifle, scenarios, tactics, and competition.  Professionally  run courses and nice New England area.


Front Sight, Pahrump, NV - http://frontsight.com/
I attended the Defensive Pistol, Practical Rifle, Tactical Shotgun, Uzi, Advanced Tact Handgun, and night courses.  They also have multi-gun, Auto M16, precision rifle, rappel, scenarios, and youth courses.  Courses are very affordable if you purchase a lifetime membership from a friend (hint hint) or certificates on Ebay.  Great courses for beginners and whole families and good training for advanced shooters.  Hotel and car rentals are cheap and it's 1 hour away from Las Vegas.


National Rifle Association, Nationwide - https://firearmtraining.nra.org/

I attended the Basic Pistol, Personal Protection Inside the Home/Outside the Home, Chief Range Safety Officer, instructor and Training Counselor courses.  NRA teaches good basic level courses on handgun, rifle, shotgun, self defense, muzzle loading, reloading, range safety, and more.  Advanced shooters can attend instructor and coaching classes.  Instructors teach classes nationwide.
