[QUOTE="AgentJBOND, post: 63175, member: 722"] I took [B]Will Andrews's 4-hour Pistol Skills 2 class at H&H for $60[/B]. Will gave a sales pitch during my SDA instruction at H&H, and Pistol Skills 2 is the entry level course after SDA. This was my first weapons training, so I have nothing to compare it with, but it certainly seemed like a good value. [B]Classroom[/B] The first hour and a half was classroom time. Will reviewed and restated fundamental rules of weapons safety and communicated his philosophy emphasizing situational awareness to avoid being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Finally, he demonstrated the grip and stance he wanted us to learn and explained the reasoning behind it. Will was very relaxed (he loves to laugh) and the classroom presentation flowed well. It was immediately apparent that he spent time developing the structure of his lesson. [B]Range[/B] Next, it was off to the range. Will and his two assistant instructors opened the H&H pistol range and placed targets on stands (no swaying on the regular range clips) with a paper plate in the center of each. We started at longer range (20yds?) and gradually moved the targets closer (3yds), with individual suggestions made between each 5 shots as necessary. He taught a couple of methods to increase shooting speed, and gave us ample opportunity to practice them. Will also demonstrated a basic weapon-retention technique, then he ended with practice suggestions and a short summary of what goes on in Pistol Skills 3. [B]Conclusion[/B] The class ran 1/2 hour long, which Will said is normal. To me, this is basically 1/2 hour of additional training/practice for free, and I was glad to stay the extra time. I used 100 rounds of ammunition in total, but had there been fewer people to take turns shooting, I might have used closer to 200. The class did seem large, but I was able to learn more by walking around to listen in on Will's advice to other shooters. I also felt that I got Will's full attention when he addressed my shooting or my questions. All in all, I had a lot of fun and learned a new way to shoot. Thanks to Will's instruction, I am able to structure my range sessions to become a better shooter. Pistol Skills 3 here I come! [/QUOTE]
