Took Tom's class this Fri. I thought I knew a bit after lurking on this site. I had my eyes opened with responsibities envolved. Educational interesting
and our full 10 hours worth! I highly recommend bringing a seat cushion.
Take me to the waiting room.

Welcome to the forum sir. I agree with everything Longtooth said and add one more. Find a local IDPA or USPSA group and get some time building confidence with your handgun. Congratulations on completing your class and I wish you a very short stay in the Waiting Room.

Welcome to the forum. I need to add 1 more to LT's list--Pray you never have to use it but if you do that you shoot straight.

I want to add that Tom Estep (ElGato) also teaches bullseye handgun, skeet, and trap one-on-one or in small groups. He's a good instructor and also has a knack for teaching ladies. You will have as much fun as he does, or vice versa.

He's too modest to toot his own horn.

Thats ok, there's enough of us around that have seen him shoot and teach to toot his horn for him...

I also took the class Friday and I can attest to the fact that Tom is not only a wonderful teacher with a good story telling manner about him, but I could tell he had a knack for teaching ladies...he carried my target to each station. I adapted to the "special" treatment.

Hi Folks,
I just joined the forum after learning about it from Tom last Saturday (2/10). I was there for a license renewal and thoroughly enjoyed the class, taught by Tom and Tammi. Very nice and competent folks. In fact, I thought enough of Tom's skills to put my name on the list fora Basic training course. I would highly recomment the instruction by Tom and Tammi to anyone going for a CHL. It's even worth a long drive.
Nice forum!

[longtooth]

Welcome aboard Papabear37. Glad to have you. We have several very competent instructors on the board from all over the state.
You chose a good man as well as a good teacher.
You will really have a good foundation when you finish the basic class as a follow up.

Hello PB! Welcome to the forum. You chose some fine folks for CHL instruction. Tom was my instructor when CHL was created in Texas and I am also proud to call him a friend. We are neighbors...hopefully we can shoot together sometime. Have a great day and enjoy that basic pistol class.
