re: Central AL firearm training recommendations

While I never used them, there is training facility just outside of B'ham called Sheepdog. Again, I've never used them nor heard any reviews. It's located at the Deerfoot Pkwy exit near Trusville.

I stopped there once to look at their inventory of firearms. If you are looking for variety, this was not the place. But there was a class ongoing and it appeared to be well run.
