Up coming training....

Sorry to hear about the delay, but glad to hear you're staying committed to your own training in the meantime.

Depending on the class I'm running, CCW or Intermediate Pistol are probably my most common here, I'll typically begin with basic fundamentals, using front-sight/marksmanship for accuracy to develop skill while building confidence (particularly with new shooters).

But I quickly transcend into defensive/practical pistol drills, which includes a lot of up-close shooting from concealment, a lot of multiple target engagements and shooting while moving. That's all combat/snap shooting. I believe this is far more applicable and appropriate for CC as well as some home-defense situations. My shooters love it, and that's one of my goals. If the participant's confidence in their ability skyrockets, especially when they know they can score hits with or without sights, then all is good. Plus we know, when the stress of an actual encounter occurs, use of sights is NOT first and foremost in staying alive. Staying alive is!

The Carbine course sounds fun too - I'll be running another one of those next month too! Those are always lots of fun.

Hey KimberPB - I wish you were closer to Arizona!

I've got a "custom hybrid" course in the hopper, probably to occur in Sept (?). It's a tailored Intermediate/Tactical Pistol course with Tactical Carbine included.

I'll see if I can recruit someone to shoot video as this should be some cool/fun/effective training.

I wish I had more of a photography-minded prowess, but I don't. When I'm on the range, that's pretty much all I'm thinking about.

Sounds like a fun class!! Has it happened yet? I'd love to see some pics or video.

I have 15 more days till my carbine class and then the advance tac pistol the following day. Can't wait.
