Just to add a little to what was said previously...
This was by far the best class I have been fortunate enough to run and by far the best group of shooters gathered on one range that I have ever witnessed. They were all not only great shooters but great people to train with. It was great to see Larry have to raise the bar for the class and push us out of our comfort zones. That said as the bar was raised the level of shooting raised with it. As was mentioned everyone rose with the tide....
Once again Larry showed why he is IMHO the premier trainer in the industry. His standards for accuracy and his style of teaching allows you to constantly learn, but it also constantly pushes you out of your comfort zone. We were shooting small bulls and out of the black was simply a no go and reason for shame regardless of the distance you were shooting from...
I really cant stress enough the caliber of men in this class not only as shooters but as men and professionals. The LE in this class was by far the best I have ever encountered on a range or class. These guys train and it really showed. IMHO they are to be emulated by all of their peers not just as shooters but as true professionals.
The Blackwater range really allowed us to do a lot of great stuff with not only bulls but steel racks and moving steel. There were some guys who were like f-ing machine gunners and it was great to watch.
I cant say enough positive things about this class as it was outstanding from top to bottom. Larry was outstanding and at the top of his game. The student body which consisted of industry professionals, face shooters, LE and civilians were top notch. Larry's humor is something that cant be stressed enough and not only because he is just plain funny as shit but because his style allows you to relax and perform to your potential which is something that should not be over looked. We had teams that consisted of "Team America **** ya" "Laser Jet repair men" and "Sponge Bob" and every team was dialed in... Team America rocked several stages and was strong from top to bottom.
It was great to see a lot of familiar faces but even more impressive is the strides these shooter have made over the last several years. They have embarked on a journey and you can tell that they are putting in the work that it takes to shoot at the level that they were shooting at. As was mentioned Paul shot like a beast but others also really shined, JW running new pistols shot like a beast and Lil B also shot extremely well, especially factoring in his arm which he never once mentioned. Shawn L and Jim D (Coolbreeze) also really shot extremely well and really brought their a game. There were no excuses. Period. This class realy manned the **** up!
I want to thank Larry for what turned out to be an incredible class that far exceeded my expectations and allowed me to leave a better shooter.
For those of you who have not taken a class with Larry.... DO IT! You have the chance to train with the best out there. Don't let that chance pass you by.
