Weekday weapon training class.

[Gray Ops 1*]

Curriculum seems a bit confusing to me. Supposed to be an "advanced" class, but there's 5 point draw stuff, which is pretty handgun 1A. Then later there's shooting on the move, which is obviously more advanced. Seems like 0-100 MPH class which is a lot to pack into a single day.

Being that shooting is a perishable skill it is always good to begin with a little review. All of my classes begin with a review, we not only review Safety, First Aid Plan we have a little review of the basics to bust the rust off. Seeing how Advanced Shooting is only having a solid foundation of the basics and doing it over and over again, that's were the speed begins to pick up. You are correct that is should be ingrained but a quick review with any corrections made up front is firming up the groundwork for that solid foundation, that's why we train. 0-100 in 8 hours, you got to love it!!! You have to crawl be you walk and walk before you run...

Prerequisites, certificates, experience...I've seen some folks with a stack of certs that meet prerequisites that didn't know what end of the barrel the bullet comes out and I've had brand new shooters that have excelled well past others with much more experience. It simply comes down to Safety, Comfort, and Competence. Do the Benefits of the training out weight the risk? Physical comfort, can you do it? Competence is increasing your knowledge to provide experience and opportunity. When dealing with safety it is the Instructor's responsibility, rules mitigate risk. Emotional comfort of the student the perceived risks which some are questionings here, Rules Mitigate Risk. Physical Comfort, can you do it? Intellectual Comfort is a shared responsibility of both the student and the instructor. Competence is both Individual and Subjective traits...As the instructor I provide my experience and give you the opportunity, I'll use science, logic and reasoning to accomplish my (our) training goals. Consistency = Doing the same thing, the same way, same place, as much as possible, EVERY SINGLE TIME!

Through realistic and frequent training, one can learn to use the power of recognition to respond more efficiently during a dynamic critical incident.

Stay Safe, Remain Alert, and ALWAYS Be Dangerous!

Thanks to everyone who had questions, concerns, and were truly interested in bettering their handgun skills by training. I hope I was able to answer all of you appropriately. All seats have been filled, class registration has closed!

See you on the 16th! I'm really looking forward to training at a new facility and bringing my "A" game back to the Bay...

As my email program ate some of my emails, can someone please confirm that tomorrow's class at Richmond starts at 8:30am? Bay 1?

Where is Bay 1? When I enter the facility, I see the club house, and I go to the public range by turning left. To go to Bay 1, do I go straight and pass the club house on my right?
