Good point about "learning someone else's mistakes." Didn't think of that.
What credentials should I be looking/asking for in an instructor? The range I'm thinking of going to is supposed to do a lot of classes and certifications, including CCW and law enforcement stuff. Is there a credentialing entity in CA for this kind of thing?
I did look up the Burro Canyon classes, but it's way too far, even for me. I wish I could join a group like that. Right now, though, I think I don't want to learn with male students (bad experience yesterday at the range), and I think I know a little more than the average female who is inclined to take the beginner classes. I'm not quite intermediate either. That's why I thought of private instruction.
I really want to improve my marksmanship and get drilled on safety issues. I've been shooting alone at the range, with my stuff laid out on the table. I have to learn how to shoot from a holster properly and how to safely handle my gun in a group. I think I'm getting a little too comfortable with my gun.
