[QUOTE="hd_rider13, post: 1075581, member: 8030"] - Having enough targets seemed to be a problem throughout the course. I think we had to call three or four times to have extra targets brought out. - Since it rained the first day, the ground was wet for the rest of the course. Due to this, we did not get to train on shooting from the prone or kneeling positions. Having a few large tarps on hand could have mitigated this issue. - We did not receive any instruction covering the different types of moving targets, how they move, and the best way to engage them. - Although the instructors were obviously great shooters, had the required amount of technical knowledge, and had a firm grasp on the subjects they taught, there were times I questioned the instructing methodology itself. Again, this really falls under the organization piece mentioned earlier. In my opinion, there could be some improvement in the way the material is presented and reinforced. I think an outcomes based training (OBT) model would solve the majority of this issue. Overall, the class was an experience that I will never forget. I learned techniques I would never learn anywhere else. Not only did I get some awesome training, but I made some new friends. The instructors all gave us their phone numbers and email addresses with a promise of assistance in the future. I can honestly say I went to the class a good shooter, left there a really good shooter, with the knowledge of how to make myself a great shooter. Taking all things into consideration, I would give the course an A-. I think the content is great; the facilities are one of the best in the nation; the instructors well qualified, and as always, a bad day at the range beats a good day at work. There are a few areas that, in my opinion, need improvement, and there are aspects that if improved, would set USSA above other shooting schools. The items above are intended as constructive criticism with hopes that the USSA staff will take them into consideration and allow future students to experience an even more beneficial course. If you are looking for a way to improve your pistol shooting skills and take your competition game to the next level, you need to attend this course. You can read all the books you want, talk to people on forums, and listen to the “expert” at your local gun store, but until you spend time with one of the top Grand Masters in the industry, you will just be spinning your wheels.
