Well Dang

My training money just went to a $1700 car repair. So, I might have to put off the class til winter or spring rather than try something before hunting season.

Dag Nabbit.

But the list of possibles includes:

Maryland Firearms Training Group in Southern MD,
FPF Training in Culpepper VA, Advanced Conceal Carry Tactics *
Practical Firearms Training in West Virginia, Defensive Handgun II

When I get a little better and faster I want to try Aim Fast Hit Fast. You have to be able to do this, tho:

Prerequisites: This is a fast-paced class suited to shooters who have already achieved proficiency with a handgun. At a minimum, prospective students should be capable of performing the following drill(s) on demand:

• Fire and hit a 3×5 card at 5 yards on demand
• Draw, fire 1, reload, fire 2 (3 hits on 8″ circle) at 7 yards in eight seconds

And I don't think I can always hit that 3x5, and I have no idea on the 8 second thing. Not with my flaw. And drawing from the Serpa holster, the only time I've been timed, has been around 3 seconds.

  1. NJT- Take a full blown class prior to aim fast, hit fast... Most people cannot do that without advanced training.

  2. Second that, old NFO! You want to practice your draw speed, get a blue gun and do a little a day, AFTER you get your grip down solid, your presentation stance tight, the sight picture as good as you can see. Since you have to wait ( It SUCKS when your have to take your hard-earned stash and put it into your vehicle, Bro, I know), now would be the time to get out the 22's and hit the Range, reinforcing the basics. ANYONE can shoot a gun fast, but it does you no good if you MISS fast. Remember, only hits count!

I reserve the right to delete patently offensive comments. Or, really, any comment I feel like. Or I might leave a really juicy comment up for private ridicule. Also spammers.

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
