Paul Markel, host of Sportsman Channel’s Student of the Gun, wrote an outstanding article about his recent class with Ken Hackathorn down in Texas.
“Every field of endeavor has its legends. NASCAR has Richard Petty. The NFL has Joe Montana. In the realm of firearms training there are a handful of legends and Ken Hackathorn is one.”

I indeed consider myself fortunate to have taken a Ken Hackathorn class last October in NC. Much like John Farnam, I would recommend Ken’s class just to hear him lecture. And do not quit listening during the breaks—-Golden nuggets of wisdom are imparted all the time.
Thanks for sharing the link to the story, Todd. Ken is indeed one of my heroes in this world.
Hack is the man! I have seen my share of instructors but Ken Is my Jeff Cooper
he not only teaches you he makes you think.(and like it)He also has no pier when it comes to his knowledge of the gun. I would attend a rock throwing class if he had one. Tod you rank up there also but we all have big shoes to fill.
Brian — Kind of you to say but I’ll never be the next Ken Hackathorn. There won’t be another Ken. I recommend students do whatever it takes to get into one of his classes.
