Kelly, My son and I thoroughly enjoyed class this past weekend. The drills, the standards eval, and coaching were all excellent. It's really nice to be able to have this type of training available so close to the front range. I like the philosophy of boiling down a skill set to a basic core and hammering them. I find that having 100 techniques for 100 scenarios without 18 months to practice them everyday leaves one thinking too much and reacting too little.
Regarding my son, it's apparent you get a lot of practice working with young people down at the academy. I don't know how you did it, but our debriefing last night uncovered a spark in him. It took a TI in basic training smashing in my locker to get my attention at his age, you seemed to do it with without the drama and profanity. I can't thank you enough for your patience and effort in working with the both of us. The off range discussions regarding the Zen of shooting, first aid, and a glimpse into the SOF world were enlightening as well.
These classes are not easy but they give you an understanding of where your speed vs accuracy baseline is, especially under peer pressure and fatigue. You just can't do this at a typical range session and I keep encouraging shooters I meet to suck it up and spend a weekend now and then in this type training. You can't beat the experience, the feedback, and the camaraderie. And I didn't have to bring home any motel soap - always an extra bonus!
Will holler this week regarding the upcoming rifle class, gotta see how work is looking for that weekend. Mark was excellent to have in class and it would be great to work with you guys again.
take care sir, Scott
