Excellent Guns & Ammo review of Gunsite rifle class by Bob Shimizu reprinted on Gunsite website

I'd run across this reprint article earlier, but had to bookmark it for reading later, which I've just now done over coffee. Bob Shimizu does an excellent job of chronicling his 6-day rifle class at Gunsite under Col. Jeff Cooper. His 2001 experience is very similar to my own of 3 years before under the Colonel at the NRA Whittington Center in New Mexico, minus the Quad Runner the Colonel uses in Arizona.

On a related note, I was told a few days ago by Julias Shaw that Col. Cooper's book The Art of the Rifle has been revised and expanded for 2002. My copy dates from 1997, and does not have the new material dedicated to the use of the Scout Rifle system, so I'll hold off on recommending the version I've not yet read, but if it's at least as good as the older one, I strongly recommend buying a copy and reading before attending any general rifle course at any school.
