After-action report:
Left the range at 1 this morning so I'm kind of dragging now, but it was worth it! I liked how they stressed safety. Small class--only six--but we burned a lot of ammo. I've never shot so much in one day (probably close to 400 rounds)!
Found the instruction and instructors to be very good. No attitudes. They're just there to present as clearly as possible ways to help us use our weapons safely and more effectively. The shoot house was definitely an eye-opener! Lots of stuff you need to think about. (Of course, as a private citizen, I'm not going to go chasing bad guys in my or any other house; I'm going to call for help then stay put and let the bad guys come to me.)
Thinking about it now, there's a lot of stuff to practice in the future to sharpen skills. Would've liked to have done more transition drills, but maybe due to it being a night course they de-emphasized that aspect?
Was fun to meet a few new people, shoot with Leadpoisoner again and to shoot with Chen Lee for the first time. (If he ever asks you to get something out of his trunk, tell him to take a hike--his trunk opens only on HIS command.)
Edited to add: Hey, they supplied the Taco Bell for everyone! And at the end of the class, anyone who wanted--all six, in other words--got to run a magazine through a shorty M16. Fun!
