After talking forever about it, my family and I finally broke down and made time for a day of training. Yesterday, my hubby, son, and I went down to Swayzee Ind and spent the day with Jay learning gun safety technical terms,maintanence,handling, grip, and stance.
Going into this, I was very nervous and was afraid I would make a fool out of myself. I was not raised around firearms (other than BB guns) but my husband has had them since he was a kid. Since meeting my husband, I have gotten where I loved to shoot, but was never confident in myself. For the past year, I have helped him reload, but couldn't hit the broad side of the barn with them, thus even questioning my loads too.
Well after spending the day with Jay, my mind is at ease and I'm ready to get out there and practice more. I have a terrible flinch, but Jay gave me the tools and confidence to overcome it. I'm not cured by any means, but with practice both at the range and dry firing, I am now confident I will.
When we went to the range after lunch, I couldn't believe how much better I was doing using what he taught and also one of his 1911's. I see a new purchase in the future ! I currently have a kahr CW9 that I have a love/hate relationship with. While I love how it feels in my hand, I hate I can't shoot it well at all.
Also, our 12 year old son had a great time. I could tell he got as much out of the class also. On the way home from Swayzee, he asked his dad to wake him in the morning so he could go along to Roush and practice more. This is unheard of from a boy that usually sleeps in on the weekends. As a parent I was very pleased how Jay took the time and made sure our son understood everything.
Lastly, not only did Jay give us great fundementals and made sure we are safe shooters, he also made it fun ! He offers other classes and you can bet I will take him up on more in the future once I find that 1911 and a good way to carry it.
A huge thanks to Jay for a awesome day yesterday and also a huge thanks to Jet Girl for referring us to him !!!!!

It is educational and fun, and if it made you more confident then it was worth it
