[QUOTE="Meadhall Range, post: 3760988, member: 43913"] Depending on the wound your physical conditioning may not matter as much. :) Med skills are Important and need to be refreshed on occasion and practiced. Now I do agree with your prior comment in a lot of ways. Time, money, ammo, etc are always going to be at a premium. That is one of the reasons I bring in a variety of trainers in different disciplines, different levels, etc. The unfortunate thing is that there are also a LOT of people that think they don't need "training". They would be wrong. The fact that you (Ricco this is the general "you" not you specifically sir :) ) "have been around guns all my life" doesn't mean you actually know jack squat about defensive gun use. The CCW class you took doesn't mean you know squat about defensive gun use. Etc. People complain about the cost of range fees or the cost of a class or "why can't I draw at this public range despite never having done any training" on a regular basis. NOTHING is free Including skill. I had a friend of mine from the Corps that lives in Missouri call me up and ask if he could come down and have me "touch him up" on pistol. Been around guns all his life, hunter, etc, and been in the Corps, but after having him on the range for 4 hours teaching some really basic stuff he had to stop because "my brain is fried, I didn't realize how much I didn't know here". There are going to be the people that come back with "I can't afford to be taking classes all the time". Ok...no one expects you to be taking a class every single month but get into SOME classes. At least get to a basic level of actual competency and do some maintenance on it. [/QUOTE]
