Hello all,
I'm a new member (this is my first post) who has been reading the forum for several months now. I migrated here from a couple of other forums. The quality of the posts and discussions here are first rate and I look forward to becoming part of this community and maybe posting from time to time.
I was hoping that someone on the forum could refer me to a well regarded trainer/coach in the Louisville, Kentucky area. I have been shooting handguns for a couple of years now and seem to be at a point where I have leveled out. I'm not getting any better or a whole lot worse. I have read enough posts on the forum to know that the first thing usually recommended for someone in my situation is a competent trainer. I don't need any convincing on that point. I just need to find one in the Louisville area.
I'm probably shooting 9 to 10 thousand rounds a year and am getting out to the range (indoor) about three weekends a month. I don't have trouble staying on a six inch Shoot 'n See out to about thirty feet. I can probably stay on target 60 to 70 percent of the time out to about forty feet and then start dropping off pretty rapidly. At seventy-five feet I may get three rounds out of ten on a ten or twelve inch target but will also have fliers all over the cardboard. I have been working lately on strong and weak handed shooting. Given the range rules where I shoot I am not really able to practice drawing and rapid fire. I am usually shooting a G19 but have been working a lot more lately with a S & W 686. I've also been doing more dryfiring in my basement
In terms of my goals, I would first like to become competent (I know that is a broad term and pretty subjective) relative to concealed carry and defensive use of handguns but am not looking for any Rambo-type training. Secondly, I have goten involved in a small, monthly league at my range and enjoy it a lot. I would like to get involved in competitive shooting like IDPA or something similar without being completely embarrassed. I'm fifty-four and probably got started in this a little late but there's no point in looking back.
I'd really appreciate being referred to a good trainer/coach in my area if anyone knows of anyone they could point me toward. Thank you very much.
