jrdoran Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Just signed up for a 2 day class in PA. Looks like it will be very beneficial. Anyone else taking or has taken Ben's PRACTICAL SHOOTING FUNDAMENTALS class ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountbkr Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I took it last fall, great class with a very methodical way of executing the drills in his book. He explains why the drills are being presented the way they are and helps you understand the process he teaches. You will have a "drills" bay and a "stage" bay side by side, you do a drill several times and then part of the group goes to the stage bay to execute the drill on the mock stage.

Sliv2 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I've taken the class twice, it's fantastic. An important note: Like many things in life, you get out of it what you put into it. You get far more, higher quality training if you show up with your work ethic. At the second class I took, I shot the practice stage 2-3x more than the next person because I was running through it and then stuffing mags like a madman, and hopping back in the start box. That, amongst other factors, led to Ben pushing me much harder than he otherwise would have. Bring extra ammo. Bring a spare gun if you have one.

Beef15 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Taking it in April here in NC. There's a GM I shoot with sometimes that has taken I think he said 3 times, says he gets something new from it every time. Good enough endorsement for me.

tha1000 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Ben's a savant. It is money well spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtturn Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I've taken Fundamentals and Skills & Drills. Ben's classes are worth every penny. Keep your ears open and LISTEN to everything he says. To you and your classmates. Absorb his knowledge and approach to doing things. Watch how he prepares to shoot. I learned almost as much just by observing him and keeping my ears open for little wisdom nuggets as I did from the direct instruction. It will take months or years off your learning curve.

waktasz Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I'm surprised it's not full already. He is also doing a Skills and Drills class that week at Lower Prov and another one at Ontelaunee after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_RAD Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Everyone I've heard from that's taken the class have all said it's great! I'm hosting one in late April in NW Arkansas. Very excited. Got 1 spot left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) Ben’s Fundamentals class was a hard push for the (very solid) Production M in the class with me. Fundamentals does not equate to “for beginners” in any way. As I’ve said before: I went as a high B-class who couldn’t chip his way in A. Someone who thought he was largely doing everything right. I left as a guy who realized huge deficiencies in trigger control and grip, and saw himself throwing away 3/4 second entering every position. Flaws. Everywhere. Making A was easy after that, with a little bit of practice a few times a week. Edited February 16, 2018 by MemphisMechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waktasz Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I'm not sure, I'm not running the class there. I was initially on the wait list for it so I organized a class at Ontelaunee instead. I got off the waitlist but had already bailed on the class at LP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
