You do realize that professional shooting instruction is not all about fake-little-town, Disneyland fun shoots, right?

it simply takes an open mind and an ego check

Really? How many classes have you taken?

There isn't any "secret" technique to any form of shooting, just the sound application of fundamentals, and different approaches to those fundamentals.
wgp said:I have taken several classes (handgun, carbine and shotgun) with a local LEO who teaches in different cities around my area. I like his classes, I certainly have learned things from him. Since I have not been in classes by other instructors I can't really determine the quality of what I'm getting. That's the reason for my original question.
The practitioner who has already begun walking the path to become well-trained won't be learning through drinking those huge gulps of information at the firehose anymore.

(practicing quickly drawing and firing from a holster accurately and fast until it is intuitive is very important, which you can do on your own)
gym said:And what are you preparing for, Deployment, Ranger school, Special forces? Otherwise it's just a hobby like anything else, a hobby that could get you killed like flying, or scuba, racing cars, etc,or many others, but a hobby.
Driving is a task, racing is a hobby, what don't you understand?
self-defense is a way of living, target shooting is a hobby, what don't you understand?
looks to me like gym's post is pretty self explanatory.....and well put.
