Hey, I been reading and looking at all the photos from yesterday's Group shoot. It looks like ya all had a great time. I heard all the lead being fired yesterday in the rain, I was on the other side of the range with Tony F and the folks from the F.I.R.E. Institute.
Anyways, I just wanted to post a few thoughts from my experience yesterday and I encourage anybody no-matter how much range time you have had either 10yrs. or 10days the $45 spent on the class was well worth it.
"Value" is a word used in my industry all the time. What the F.I.R.E. Institute offers in this basic "One Day Handgun Clinic" is mega value.
Do not let the term Basic fool you, there are many topics covered in
this class & the amount of time spent on actually practicing newly aquired shooting skills exceeded my expections.
The student / teacher ratio was great. Along with Tony F. he had two other guys from F.I.R.E. and there were seven students.
This allowed time for them to really observe the things we were doing correct & give pointers on things we did wrong.
Other than the freezing Rain the Day was a major success. I felt safe the whole day, not once was there any skechy moments from the instructors or students and we were live firing from 10am until 5pm. We were able shoot each others different types of pistols and feel the difference in trigger pulls b/t Glocks, 1911's, & Double actions such as Berettas.
I can't say enough about the professionalism & knowledge Tony and the F.I.R.E. guys bring to these classes. I will most diffently sign up for a three day advance class soon.
I urge any PFOA member in Western Pa if they get the chance sign up.....you will not be disapointed.
