Title: Anyone been to Blackwater North?
Post by: bumpster on January 09, 2008, 05:44:12 PM

My wife and I plan to take an AR Carbine class somewhere in the next year. We have taken handgun at Front Sight (me twice), and now want the variety of a different school and weapon. Thought we would head to Gunsite, but we now have Blackwater in Illinois, and would like feedback from any former student. How was BWN or BW in general, for non-operator husband/wife teams? How physically demanding? Tolerant of civilians, or mainly for the pros? Front Sight was a good match for our abilities, and Gunsite get's enough TV coverage to see that looks like a great fit also. BWN training is just a bit of an unknown so far. Thanks.
