Took my course over the weekend (half of it). Got rained out for Range time on Sunday, so I am meeting the instructors at their range tonight for a little one on one training.

 

I was extremely happy with my course and instructors.

They were also much more reasonably priced then a bunch of other places I checked out.

 

VERY professional, EXTREMELY knowledgeable and really got a lot out of it.

 

I would mention there name, but I do not believe they are sponsors, so don't want to break any rules.

 

Looking forward to some proper training tonight so I might actually be able to hit something when I go shooting with you guys again

Good deal. The basics are very important. I've got a question for you...I took this picture http://thewellrats.com/malbor2/njgf/mikeyboy.JPG and something bothered me about it. I think I figured it out. It looks like you're left hand is on the grip and out to the trigger guard and your right is over your left and to the trigger. Maybe I'm just not seeing it right. At any rate, your instructor will give you good grip technique that will help improve your accuracy.

I KNOW my grip could use some work, but my right hand on grip, using right index finger pad to squeeze trigger.

Left hand is on grip, index finger under trigger guard,left thumb pointed forward. Other fingers over right hand fingers.

Right hand them probably not pointed forward enough as it slightly points upwards and that is one thing I noticed in class when they talked about grip.

 

Another flaw of mine is I bring my head to the sights, when I was taught I should bring the gun to my sight. move my arms, not my head basically.

 

I am confident they will teach me to shoot properly tonight.

One of the great features of our club is a great indoor range. That allows the scheduling of our Basic Handgun courses without regard to the weather. We run them several times a year getting people from all over the southern NE area.

 

It's a great course and well worth the money. At the end of our courses we make available over forty different handguns from 22lr to 45ACP for the students to try out. Most try ten or fifteen different firearms giving them a great start in their first purchase for many.
