Some video of the instructor shooting at a recent match. The skills required to drive the gun with the vision will be introduced in this course. Those skills are useful in EDC situations and well as shooting sports. If you want to be faster and more accurate this class is a great place to begin.

I found the class to be informative and nicely paced. If you have some experience with shooting, just not properly, this is a great way to get started on learning how to do things correctly. To be able to take each incremental step taught and immediately apply it to the targets down range was immensely helpful in showing the differences between what can be the results versus the same old frustrating results.

The class stays at a steady tempo and each new step is layered into the previous lesson taught. Accumulating at the end with a good practice target for really focusing on running the gun with your vision. Having never ran any targets of this nature, I personally really enjoyed this part. I found it very challenging as well as rewarding to see what I was capable off with the steps taught. This was a great experience and it has left me wanting more instruction.

My personal take aways:

* Proper trigger control (register position) is MUCH harder than I was aware. I always tried to be conscious of my finger placement, or I thought I was...
* I need to slow down. I get in a hurry. Speed with accuracy will/might come with practice.
* Stop caring about where that last round hit. Do it right and you will always know where it hit.
* Bring the sight to your eye when moving from target to target. In the past I would move around like a tank. Now I know why that always felt awkward.
* I need a lot more practice with malfunctions. I never practiced before.
* I need a lot more practice with mag changes.
* I need a lot more practice with single hand manipulations. I was very apprehensive using my weak hand.
* I need to sign up for more classes.
* Proper trigger control (register position) is MUCH harder than I was aware. I always tried to be conscious of my finger placement, or I thought I was...
