The Kent Carbine/Subgun Instrucotr School went well. The guys in the class were all trying to pick up what I was putting down. The teach backs were all solid and hopefully the dudes self diagnosed and their next class will be better. This one course does NOT make you an instructor! That would be the same as saying one run gets you ready for a marathon or one range session prepares you for a gunfight. Just like shooting, Instrucotrship is a process and a journey. No one is perfect, we keep attending training and refining and improving the craft to the best of our ability.

I was fortunate to attend a one day carbine and one day pistol class last week from Frank Proctor of Way of the Gun. Frank is an easy going dude and he shoots his guns well. I was able to pull down a few tips and drills that I plan to incorporate into my personal training regimen and in my classes. The nice thing about attending as an instructor is to be able to see how other instructors run their game. By and large I dont demo alot at speed, I typically do demos slwo to show what I’m doing. I think I might start even though in the past I have felt like it was show off time. Students didn’t pay to watch me shoot, they paid to shoot and be coached. One man’s thoughts anyway.

Last the DM gun has it’s last part being shipped on Monday. It is a working gun right now and I think I have what I want. I do need to give it alot of reps to see if it will hold up to the pressure. The full break down is on my facebook page with a picture.

As always, I apologize for typos.
