Working on a new course

We are calling it "Enhanced Handgun Skills 1"

It picks up where the NRA PPOTH course ends, so it's "Not an NRA Approved course"

What I found first when I laid it out on paper, ie: course of fire, that while it sounded good, that certain drills could not be done safely if they were others on the range. 2nd I did a "walk through" & changed it a bit more. Then I had by partner go through it with me, taking turns shooting each drill, and each watching to see if it could be done safely.

The next step is we are inviting 20 Instructors to attend the course, (We are doing the class twice with 10 students each day) & their payment will be impute on which drills work, how they can be made better. Some of the drills are in my humble opinion a bit edgy, and those will be done on a one to one basis, in the rest no more than 5 students at a time with 2 RO's.

Training is about learning how to do something, giving the "Puppy" (mid-brain) the hands on, to learn the skill.
If the puppy is more concerned about his own survival, than learning, the training is a waste of time.

Training is about acquiring a skill, not an adrenaline rush.
