A friend of mine and instructor Mark Williams with the Trigger Time Gun Club in Colorado wrote this article, and I think for anyone considering formalized training it's worth the read.

I have considered taking some courses but I have a few hesitations about it. First hesitation is that there are too many 'instructors' that come across as Rambozos...I don't want to name names but I've met a youtube guy who is sort of well known (sometimes not for good things) and he came across as being a real jackass. I didn't like the cockiness from his direction. Personality matters. The other part of it for me is getting into the right subject matter.

All be told though I would like to take courses in pistols, long range shooting, and a few other things that I find interesting. I just have to find the money and the right instructors...I have a few criteria that I would like to see... once I see it I would try my hand at a class. But unfortunately I have found too many 'instructors' that come across as jerks or aren't really any better than I am at things, but they are just selling something. Judging who really knows their stuff is at times easy and at others not so easy.

If I could pick one trainer to have a free one-on-one, without hesitation i would say Frank Proctor from 'Way of the Gun'

I actually have a compiled list of what are to be considered the better trainers in long range precision shooting. Several of them are also excellent for pistol as well...
