I am still attending and endorse Yavapai. I beleive I am in the one of the two best schools currently avalible(Trinidad being the other). After being here for almost 2 years, I can say this programn is hard to beat.
KBGuns, Do you ever go out to Prescott Sportsmen Club? I am the rangemaster there and was wondering if we have met. I know a lot of the guys from Yavapai but I can't put a face with your name. Jim

Mark: I'm sorry to keep pestering you about this but exactly what do the townspeople have against gunsmithing students? Are they liberal anti-gun fanatics?? I don't want to have to be "in the closet" for two years!
First off I think the gunsmithing student got off to a bad start when the schools gunsmithing department was created. The town has several cannons in parks and the train station and the students like to fire them off. They are plugged with cement. College kid stuff and to much beer. The town isn't anti gun like you find in large cities. The town is a blend of cultures, you have the Spanish or Mexican blended with the Italians who work in the coal mines. It's a town where once a person finished high school, they left town and went to work in Denver or any other large city with the hopes of returning to Trinidad later in life. I think if you attend school and don't plan to get involved in the town you'll be fine.
Oh, there one other thing, Trinidad is the sex change capitol of the country. No kidding, if you see a man dress as a women walking around town he's there to be altered. Just keep walking.
Jim, I do get out there every so often. I live in PV and normally when we go to shoot we go north of Pauldon. Every once in a while we will get the urge for a real range, and head over to the Prescott Sportsmen Club. I believe my friend borrowed a leupold wrench from you when he was sighting in his .375 Ultra, back around October.
