Hi everyone. Sorry for the long post but this has been on my mind. When I say "multi-day" I should have said, "why weekend-long courses"?
I'm still think I'm a noob and I do appreciate the importance of training. I've taken a weekend-long basic defensive handgun course and am really looking forward to taking the MAG-40. My goal is to try and take a formal course once a year.
My question: why don't more trainers or training schools break up their classes? I think for reinforcement and to keep things fresh in the mind it would be more ideal -- at least for me and my schedule -- to go maybe once a week or every other week and spend a couple of hours at a time in a class. So instead of a 10 hour course on a weekend, I'd love to go for 3-4 hours once a week for 6 weeks.
I understand it's easier for people who need to travel long distances, or maybe it's hard to keep a class for such a long stretch of time. Believe me, I'm still looking around but I just want to ask in the meantime.
