Well busy days at the end of the year. Sorry it took me some time to do an AAR on this one. I hope that BOM, Sam and GJM will chime in on their experiences as well as they attended this class too.
I am going to focus on progression on this AAR because I think it is important to highlight how important practice is, as well as give some hope to new shooter breaking into a higher level of shooting. Progress is harder to measure when it is in .10 of seconds as opposed to full seconds.
This is the third class I have taken from Todd. If you would like to see how my goals have changed and how I have progressed regarding AFHF and AFHS you can find my first class AAR here (http://forums.1911forum.com/showthread.php?t=283978). Last years class here. (http://pistol-forum.com/showthread.php?1615-Aim-Fast-Hit-Fast-Albuquerque-New-Mexico)
Details:
Hosted by Tom Jones, expertly I may add, at the Bernalillo County Sharifs Range. Good think Tom is an NRA instructor. You will have to ask him why. Tom is a great host and also a great guy to have watch your shooting and give advice. Especially when it comes to the LEM. The course was two days and all range time sans 10 min of safety and intro.
Gear:
I used my HK P30 in a Desbians AIWB (http://www.desbiensgunleather.com/iwb-holster/) holster. I have to change to my C&D on the second day because the rim of my leather holster was collapsing not allowing me to re holster safely. I used Blackhawk mag carriers on a Wilderness Flyer Belt.
Gear Notes:
I switched to the HK from an M&P about 8 months ago. I chose the LEM because of the hammer, the consistency, and because of the accuracy of the P30. I was luke warm to the LEM at first, but decided to give it a good year before I decided if it was a good gun for me. Coming into the class I was very frustrated with the P30. My performance with the P30 to be more precise. This I will address later.
Goals:
- Break 7 Seconds on the FAST
- Get some input on the LEM trigger and my inconsistency
- Beat Sam at the FAST (we don’t shoot a lot together, but we like to push each other when we do)
- Get better at low % shots
