For context, I have never attended any formal firearm training before taking the CCW class offered…read moreby Mental Marksmanship. I was in the Scouts, shot a few rounds with my brother before, and my father owned a gun. However, that being said, I imagine that even those with extensive experience will end up taking away something valuable from these two brilliant instructors, making the price for this course well worth what you pay. For additional context, I purchased a discounted voucher via Groupon, but I was so happy with the experience that I am looking for additional courses by these instructors and would be happy to pay the full list price (which is already competitive with other course prices) This course was about so much more than just gun safety, the laws, and how to concealed carry. While we did get into proper gun handling safety and techniques, the overarching theme was the Mental aspect. At first I thought the name Mental Marksmanship was targeted for people "Crazy" about guns. This assumption, was far from the case. What I found was that the instructors were raising really thought provoking questions. I went home really thinking about the impacts of carrying a gun. They really hit home on not just the legal ramifications of owning a gun, but several other areas which I will leave for them to share with you. Additionally, the primary instructor is incredibly qualified to be teaching- I can't remember all the details, but I do remember he served in high up leadership roles for law enforcement for many many years. He's seen it all, and I immediately felt comfortable and respected what he had to share. His assistant was also wonderful, qualified, and really emphasized the "Mental" aspect of this course. The two really complimented each other. Lastly, I had no expectations of this course, content wise. It was close by and had great reviews for a great prices. I was just looking to get a CCW, but ended up taking home so much more. Attending with an open mind will grant you an incredible experience.

Multiple artists are set up at a host artist's home studio, and the public gets to browse and shop. It was fun to see some art that we recognized from other shows or restaurants. Each artist had a card, qr code, or newsletter sign up sheet. Just driving through the desert from studio to studio was breathtaking. We saw such a variety of interesting art in beautiful homes and studios. I can't wait to go again next year and will plan more days around it so that we can view so much more. Plan your route and stop by downtown Cave Creek or Carefree for lunch. We did take our kids, after a very firm discussion on being respectful and not touching (art or each other). They did pretty good and found it interesting. Each artist had a bowl of candy or mints out, so that added extra motivation. The artists were wonderful towards the kids.
