This space reserved until I can come up with a good comeback for clay.
lol mine should be easy!
Going to disagree (at least for me). I would love to do some training, but time and money are the issues. I work a job that requires me to work 5 out of 7 weekends, and right now I cant afford it as I have a kid on the way, and building up a good amount of cash to covers while the wifey is off work, along with all the stuff neccessary for the baby takes priority. I could care about the ego part. I know I dont know it all, and would love to better my skills, but unfortunately, Im limited on that for now...
Anyone here ever taken ACT's competition-oriented training? Or taken advantage of the one-on-one sessions with GM Max Bedwell?
Would you say that you learned most effectively by attending several matches, or by taking these courses?
Actually, I've done all three and turned out to be a decent "B" class shooter.
on the other hand Jared Black did Max's class once, and went on to kick everyone's ass and will be knocking on the door of being a GM not far down the road. He probably could have done that with just shooting matches, because he's got raw talent.
ACT class/league layed a solid foundation, shooting a lot of matches built confidence and gave me experience and Max fined tuned and mentored.
The gunshooting skills I've learned in USPSA have made every Defensive course I've taken much smoother, because there is a ton of draw strokes, finding the front sight, trigger time and muscle memory reloads to draw upon.
So, do they teach how to move and shoot? For beginners with an interest in competition or self-defense based training that alone would be worth their pricing.
I heard that ACT is going to start teaching "Jeep Driving" classes as follows:
JD101 - how to shift into 4wd
JD201 - how to drive in snow
If they are shooting out of them... and OBIJON is making hot dogs... I'll be there.... but I'll have to borrow someone's Jeep
If you are mechanically inclined I'll loan you my Franken Jeep...If they are shooting out of them... and OBIJON is making hot dogs... I'll be there.... but I'll have to borrow someone's Jeep

One of the area I would love to train in is marksmanship, especially when under stress
