Excellent Class -- Individual Training Session W/c.tilley

[boo radley]

I've had the hankering for a new pistol, but decided to postpone the inevitable a little longer, and spend a few discretionary $ on a full-day training session with Chris Tilley who is fortunately in my area.

I first took an hour lesson from him, and was very impressed, and set up an appointment for a full day.

Excellent, excellent stuff, though my legs are absolutely shredded today. He took the approach that the "shooting is the easy part -- it's everything else that's difficult", and we worked on those things -- lots and lots of movement, getting into/out-of positions, SHO/WHO techniques, barricades....

The nice thing about an individual class like this, is you don't leave w/out knowing how to do something right, so you can't get sloppy, ingraining something new, while the instructor is working on another student. Chris's intensity and focus is pretty amazing as a teacher, and he'll tell you exactly what you're doing right and wrong. We'd go up an paste the targets, and he'd say -- "yeah, that D-hit was on your 2nd string, 3rd shot." Etc.

IMHO, if you get a chance to get individual instruction, it's sure worth it.
