It occurred to me that I never actually made a separate post about the Shooting Skills course coming up on April 6th!

"Shooting Skills," (formerly "Fundamentals Analysis") is our level III handgun skills course.  For experienced shooters, the Shooting Skills class gives you a solid analysis of your current technique, helps you correct errors or inefficient movement, and not only works with you on drills, but gives you a significant amount of information regarding dryfire drills you can do on your own later to keep improving.

Shooting Skills is a one-day course.  More information is available at:

Registration is available at:  http://precisionresponse.4t.com/Schedule.html

Well, we got a little cold, and a little windblown---but the Shooting Skills course seemed to go well.

Well, except for the people who were screamingly frustrated by lunchtime.  ???  However, people ended up seeing significant improvements by the end of class, so that's all good.

And occasional stress-and-frustration-related high blood pressure occurrences are actually good for you.

Well, kinda.   ::)

Thank goodness I don't have any bad habits.  ;D

I really enjoyed the class on April 6th, and took a lot of good information away from it.  I've never had anyone evaluate so many aspects of my shooting, and while it's rough hearing about what you can do better, I did notice a lot of improvement in my accuracy by the end. 

Thanks to PRT for running a great class.  I really appreciate that the group is small and I got quite a bit of individual attention.

Indeed so.  Yep.  Quite.  Absolutely. 

Agree completely.

Glad you liked it.  Frustrating sometimes, though, isn't it? 

Believe me, I've been there too.  I keep taking fundamentals analysis classes periodically also, and there is always SOMETHING that I need to fix--which takes breaking an old, bad habit and replacing it with something else. 

Not fun.  But it can certainly make you better!

Thanks to PRT for running a great class.  I really appreciate that the group is small and I got quite a bit of individual attention. 

I always find it interesting when someone teaches a technique class with an instructor student ratio larger than 1:12.  If you've got more than 2 relays, there is a LOT of downtime, and if you are doing everyone on one relay, people just don't get much individual attention.  (Unless you only run two drills per hour.  :(  )

For fundamentals classes, I don't like having classes larger than 6, and that is normally with myself AND two other instructors.  I'll run up to twelve students in a skills class, but it'll be on two relays.  More people than 6 on the line and we can't give the attention that people need--and more relays mean too much time sitting watching other people learn.

Other types of classes, you can run different ratios.  But for skills classes, especially analysis ones, nothing takes the place of having an instructor be able to keep an eye on you most of the time.

IMO, of course.  (Opinions vary.)

Glad you liked it, hope it helped, feel free to take more/other classes from us.  :)
