Now that myself and the M class shooter on our staff are both retired, everything has gone back to the comfortably lazy red shirts standing behind the shooters saying "Front sight! Preeeeessssss...." or yelling "Stop slapping the trigger!"
Lockwood did mention the 80 hr time limit for most Academy programs today, and the limiting issues there. But all 3 agreed they would spend those 80 hrs (which after testing and shotgun training is actually closer to 40-50) differently. I would've loved to sit down with those guys with a notebook and asked "okay....here's the schedule. How would YOU use this time?"
