This world-famous Gunsite Academy offers top-notch training in defensive firearms, knives, flashlights, and even walking sticks. Gunsite was founded by the late Col. Jeff Cooper as the American Pistol Institute in 1976 in the rugged beauty of north-central Arizona near Prescott. Gunsite has been the source of much modern tactical doctrine, including the Modern Technique of the Pistol, the color codes of awareness, and the defensive triad of speed, power, and accuracy.
