Hi,
Been lurking around for a while, finally joined and wanted to introduce myself. I seem to be getting the reputation among my friends as the go-to guy to teach them or their wives or girlfriends, on how to shoot a pistol. Considering my experience in teaching pistol shooting consists of doing it in the military which was "these are the components, the bullets go in that way, and good luck on the qualification course", I came across this site, looking for resources on how to coach someone to be a good shot.
Right now I am in IT, but I worked for quite a few years as a Paramedic. Spent time in the Army, Army Reserves and National Guard. Finally retiring from the Guard after a OEF 1 rotation in Afghanistan, where I was able to let my hair and beard grow out. I'm a long time 1911 shooter, but have my eye on a HK45c. I have trained with Blackwater, John Farnham and Ken Hackathorn. Shot IPSC club matches in the early 80s and now the very infrequent IDPA club match. I am attending the Defensive Concepts NC VSM handgun class in Albemarle NC this month.
Looking forward to the conversations.
