New 2025 Gunsite Class Lineup – New and Classic Classes
Jeff Cooper’s legendary Gunsite Academy is still in operation today and still serves students from all walks of life and skill levels. The original ‘American Pistol Institute’ (API) now known as Gunsite Academy offers classes on multiple levels of instruction in handgun, carbine, shotgun, bolt action rifle, and precision rifle disciplines. While Gunsite has had a strong class lineup that’s served students for years, Gunsite CEO Ken Campbell and the crew have decided that it’s finally time to get the upcoming 2025 Gunsite class schedule a bit of a facelift to adapt to all the modern shooting techniques and firearms technology that has been developing, and also give students a fresh set of courses to enjoy that haven’t been around for a while.
