Who cares how the instructor can shoot. Can they take your skill level beyond where it was, for a reasonable value to you? Real.
This is not about instructors in my mind. It is about shooters and gun people.
Everyone can serve as an example, even if it's a bad one.There are some clearly bad instructors, and I suppose that if you recognize it, you could learn how not to do things.
I know know the difference when I see it. You do too.This is not about instructors in my mind. It is about shooters and gun people.
Is there a right answer?
Clint Smith or the Warrior Poet which one is real?
I remember at the introduction segment of a class one time that Henk Iverson made the comment that you could tell a real gunman by their gear. Real gunman have serious belts and holsters and others do not have real equipment. Do other's make such judgements? Can you be real wearing and Uncle Mike's holster of a Fobus Holster?
In any line of work there is the real deal and there are fakes? How does INGO sort them out.
There are a few places in my life where I take things very serious;y. I get a more than a little out of sorts when fakes try and occupy the same space or level as me. I cannot stand a hypocrite or a fake, and yet they abound. I guess I was really asking do people look for the fakes?
There is a big difference between a tattoo and a scar. In the shooting world are people looking for that difference.
In your response it is harder to tell in the defensive shooting world than it is in the competition world, unless you have won gunfights. Short of winning gunfights how do you tell the capable people from the pretenders?
