Great review! Any kind of overview of the standards you had to go through to get your instructor rating? If not, no problemo.

Thanks

Practicing my necromancer skills:

From Paul's website:

PISTOL INSTRUCTOR STANDARDS SEPT 2010
The drills below drills are designed with three purposes in mind:

A measurable standard to maintain.

An efficient stair-stepped workout program that covers all the bases.
To test the individual shooter at various times to show areas needing improvement.
Only score shots in the center box and head of the CSAT target. If an enemy turns sideways, that will be all the shooter has to engage, resulting in a worse case scenario.

1. Ready 1 shot 1 target 7 yards 1 SEC

2. Holster 1 shot 1 target 7 yards 1.7 SEC

3. Ready 2 shots 1 target 7 yards 1.5 SEC

4. Ready 5/1 shots 1 target 7 yards 3 SEC

5. Ready 4 shots 2x target 7 yards 3 SEC

6. Ready 4 shots 2x weak/2x strong (1target) 5 SEC

7. Ready 1 shot Malfunction drill (1 target) 3 SEC

8. Ready 4 shots 2 Reload 2 (1 target) 5 SEC

9. Rifle up 1 shot Dry fire/transition 3.25 SEC

10. Holster 1 shot Kneeling (1 target) 25 yards 3.25 SEC

Damn dude, serious necropost!

Your original post did give me good info on the tpi class and I did take it a couple of years ago. Solid class! I only knew Paul by reputation at the time and it did edge me towards taking the class.

So I guess I can forgive the 4.5 year necro. Hopefully the mods can also .

That is great to hear about it helping you decide to take the course. I believe that is exactly what I hoped would happen by writing the AAR besides reminding myself of what I learned. I felt compelled to necromance because at the time Paul did not wish to have the standards posted online. There were several PMs and one public post for it. Now that Paul posts them I felt compelled to memorialize them on the AAR.
