John,
First a number of skills are covered beyond just shooting prone at bullseye targets — this isn’t just F-class training. Second, you haven’t priced complete tactical rifle builds recently from popular vendors such as G.A. Precision. You’ll find they cost a lot more than $2000.00 — typically $3500.00 and up. Third, remember this is a two-day class — not a full week. A couple nights hotel in Arizona is just a couple hundred (or less) and many folks drive to the class. Why is travel expense any more an issue for this class than going to a shooting match in Phoenix? Would you criticize shooters for spending two days at Ben Avery in a match? Bottom line — watch the interview with the shooters who actually attended the class — you’ll hear plenty of positive comments. Also consider that the current class filled quickly and has a waiting list.
