Default Basic Handgun I & II

Gawd, I've developed baaaaaaad habits. I didn't realize just how much those habits were affecting my performance, until Sunday. Having been previously military trained, I "forgot" some of that training over the years. Thanks to CCWI and his staff of instructors, I was able to begin my rehab. A special thank you to swdr, who reminded me to keep my focus. I also learned that, as good as I was (and I wasn't too bad), there was and still is lots of room for improvement.

Swdr is very good at that, in the the best way.

Glad to meet you at BC yesterday!

This was my second time in BHG2 in as many months, first time through with a borrowed (thank you CCWI & FI!) S&W 38 Sp, second BHG1 with a 9 mm Glock compact (now, now, be nice please!), this most recent with a Glock 45 sub-compact.

The first three classes, shots went where I willed them to go, but putting everything together with the sub-compact .45 auto will take me longer.

Of course I could whine about the heat, or argue that it was the newness of the gun, or the different caliber, or distraction that my son was shooting *much* better than I... but honestly: me following the instructors' wisdom consistently will take more practice.

I wasn't going to mention the part about your son. It was good meeting you as well. And BTW, IT WAS HOT! (Not to mention the hot brass that came out of your GLOCK.

I hope to see you two at the IHG next Sunday. I'll be there without my shooting partner/son.

Basic handgun is a fun class. So fun I have taken it 3 times! 11 year old daughter loved it too!

Intermediate and Advanced rock too!! I think every CCW holder should take the Advanced class at least once a year. I try to take it twice a year.

The Intermediate Handgun class.
I was indeed a Phantom pilot/instructor pilot - flew the E model in Germany and the US. Ended my career teaching German's to fly which brought me to SoCal.
