I am not sure that I can definitively say exactly when or where Bill Rapier first appeared on my radar.  I am fairly confident it was after reading an AAR of one of his classes on VoodooMan’s <a href="http://www.vdmsr.com/">blog</a>, most likely <a href="http://www.vdmsr.com/2016/06/aar-responsible-armed-citizen-amtac.html">this one</a>, which would put it around 9 months or so ago.  I bookmarked Bill Rapier’s company website, <a href="http://americantacticalshootinginstruction.com/">American Tactical Shooting Instruction LLC</a>, and kept an eye out for courses in my area in 2017.  When the schedule for 2017 started to come together, I reached out to VoodooMan on one of the gun forums via private message, listed some of my training resume, and asked him about Rapier.  VoodooMan assured me that Rapier is probably soon to be recognized much more widely as one of the top instructors out there, and to expect his classes to soon be as hard to get into as Kyle Defoor’s.
