to travel a reasonable distance, i.e, western PA, northeastern ohio,

I'm really looking for a course which concentrates on marksmanship. I
have found courses, such as you have, called "basic" or similar
titles. I'm looking for something more than "this is a gun, this is
ammo" etc... something for a person who is experienced in the
handling/use of a pistol, but would like to improve marksmanship

Howdy gwandja-ga,
The National Rifle Association (NRA) references I linked to are still going
to be your best bet. They have a "Marksmanship Qualification Program" that
at least some, if not all, of the referenced instructors probably teach.

"The NRA Handgun Qualification Course provides the perfect self-paced
shooting activity to help develop your skills ..."

regarding the NRA "Marksmanship Qualification Program": if you read
into it, you'll see it is a self-taught, self-paced program that
involves no instructor. It can be administered on an "honor" system,
or administered/monitored by a friend/family member etc... There is
no instrustion. Not sure how familiar you are with shooting but it is
called a "COURSE OF FIRE" because it provides guidelines/criteria etc
in order to qualify for the various levels (expert, pro-marksman
etc..) The guidelines would be, for example, 5 of 10 shots from 15
yards, standing, in 30 seconds. That is a "course of fire". i'm
really looking for something with one-on-one instruction, with a
concentration on more accurate marksmanship.
P.s. I have already contacted one of the instructors for the NRA's
BASIC PISTOL course, and he advised that would be TOO basic for me.
He also was unable to refer me to a more appropriate course, which was
suprising. His suggestion: practice. I'm looking for MORE than
that.
Thank You
