    Does one need to take the "Intro" course first to take this course? What are the differences between the two?

    You do not need to take the intro to do the full blow level I course. The full blow course has an extra day and includes more drills more time in the live fire shoothouse etc. The instructor is going to send me an email shortly outlining the differences and I will post it.

    Here is the instructor's explanation of the differences:

    The first day an half will be about the same, I expand some of the drills which include reloads and malfunction clearance drills, taking more time and of course expending more ammo.

    In both courses I will cover;

    Body position
    Sight alignment
    Sight picture
    Trigger finger placement
    Trigger squeeze
    Trigger reset drills
    Shooting accurately
    Shooting with more speed
    6 step presentation
    Speed and tactical reloads
    Type 1, 2 & 3 malfunction clearance drills

    In the 2 ½ day course I will add;

    More shooting incorporating the presentation, reloading drills, malfunction clearance drills, run dry drills, positional shooting, shooting on the move. If time permits and it should, I want to utilize the shoot house for an end of course fun drill.
