Just took Matt's two day advanced practical shooting class. Great class! It was a wonderful blend of shooting, verbal instruction, theory and humor. We covered a lot in two days: We started with the basics including among other things, stance, grip, draw and reload. Matt critiqued us all, and everyone, no matter what level, improved by the end of this portion of the training.
Then we spent a lot of time on movement. We went over moving while shooting as well as moving to get to your next shooting position. He had the whole class duck walking while holding a bottle of water. It was fun to watch and instructional at the same time.
We did a lot of barricade training. It's amazing how much time we shaved off learning how to shoot barricades correctly.
He also spent time discussing gamesmanship and mental preparation for matches.
We finished off by shooting some stages so we could apply what we learned under match-like conditions.
We were also lucky to have Matt Outman, master IDPA shooter as Matt Burkett's assistant. So were had the input of two great shooters.
Highly recommended - but be prepared to learn, cause Matt won't let you waste your money. He told us our job is to "get the bullets on the target" in the most efficient way possible. And if you forget your "job" he'll let you know in no uncertain terms!
