JBZ12 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I am a full-time teacher, part-time police officer and, even though I was the "firearms award" winner from my academy class 10 years ago I feel that my handgun skills could/should be significantly better. This seemed like a good place to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.Nyland Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Welcome to the forum! The "Shooting" board seems to be a wealth of knowledge. If I can say anything, practice is your best friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I initially got involved in practical shooting (USPSA matches) as a means to improve and maintain a level of proficiency consummate with my daily carry reality. So far I have not been disappointed and have in fact been impressed with the level of high-speed, safe, accurate gun handling I've achieved. Besides being taught what to do, it's cool to know you can do it safely and efficiently. You'll learn a total of NOTHING here related to Tactics. What you can learn is a level of gun handling recognized or demonstrated no where else. Is there anything about that which you can tell me would not be useful on the job?

Biloxi23 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) Welcome! I too am a police officer and thought I was a pretty sporty handgun shot until I started shooting matches, and then found out I was extremely mediocre. I have learned a lot from the match shooters, and the guys on this forum. Edited, because I can spell, but don't type very well.
