Firearms Academy of Seattle

Has anyone ever taken any courses with FAS? I have been shooting informally for about 10 years and am looking to get some good formal training for defense and concealed carry.

Marty Hayes and his wife, Gila, are both very squared away instructors. The facility is very nice, with shoot-houses and a 360 degree bay. I recommend them.

Take a look at some of the more current books by Gila Hayes to get a sample of the mind set. The books have plenty of reviews on Amazon.com . They are also (IIRC ) founding members of the Armed Citizen Network.

I spent the day with Marty, he is here to assist in the Defense of Larry Hickey, (one of James Yeagers instructors) in a self defense shooting. Marty and Mas Ayoob run the Armed Citizens Legal defense Network which is a must join for those who might need legal protection.
I’ve atttended much of his training and I use the information to teach my advanced courses at Ft. Huachuca.
