What is the value of training?

(1/3) > >>

JTH:
Claude Werner recently posted about his blog about the value of training.

Some good stuff there:

His three points are spot-on, and you probably won't realize how much until you get good training (from multiple viewpoints) AND test yourself.

1. You don’t know what you don’t know.
2. Much of what you know is wrong.
3. It’s good to have some of the answers to the test before taking it.

(He also mentions the NRA Defensive Pistol I Marksmanship Qualification Program, which is a pretty cool way to test yourself at a basic level.)

"...The value of training is to make you think and perform outside of the cocoon that most gunowners are in, the same way real life frequently does."


Well worth reading.

Good read ....he's almost up there with Pincus (you know I had to dig that one in....).  Seriously, Claude is spot on....IMHO

Lorimor:
I listen very closely to what Mr. Werner says.

Yep.  I don't always agree with him, but I do always listen to what he says, and think about it pretty carefully.

Interesting read.  I'm gonna to try those 2 drills he mentioned.  As soon as it warms up enough so I can feel my fingers when I shoot.
