We like to take at least one firearms class every year and this year has been a challenge. My Mother In Law (great Lady) needs 24/7 care so we are very busy!
Anyway, the only class we could fit into our schedule was a Tactical Handgun I
class, conducted by Ranger Firearms training. We thought the class might be too basic but the course description promised more. Therefore, with limited
options we decided to go ahead.
To put it simply the course was well worth the time and expense ($150 for 8 hours).
Our main interest was in "point shooting" and the topic was well covered.
And we learned a lot.
The course also involved many drills (about half were new to us) that were interesting and valuable.
The thrust of the course was:
Shooting under pressure
malfunctions, and
Shooting under physical stress (elevated heart rate and timed shooting).
The instructors were both former Army Rangers, and after a while both became snipers. Currently they are both LEO's. One is in charge of a swat team in
Ferndale Michigan and the other is still in the Army Reserves and trains snipers.
Hopefully, we will be able to take Tactical Handgun II in the future!
Conclusion: never stop training!!
