Day of class

/ hsoi

Today, KR Training held its Competition Pistol 1 class.

A good class. There were 15 people shooting, including one father-daughter team (tho Dad, who is already a competition shooter, was just there to help her and provide her support… and she was pretty good!). Some old familiar faces, lots of new faces. And on the whole, a pretty decent class.

A lot of the folks there would do well to come back for classes like Basic Pistol 2, Beyond the Basics: Pistol, and Defensive Pistol Skills 1. Folks weren’t bad shots, but there’s lots of little things they can do to get better. Working on fundamentals such as grip and trigger control will take this group and make them even better.

Started out running drills and working on skills. Then the fun started. Had both ranges going. First round had a Steel Challenge stage (Accelerator) on the small range, and the other range had people running a plate rack (6 falling steel plates). The second round put an IDPA stage on the small range and an IPSC stage on the large range. Nothing too difficult, but challenging and more intended to give people an idea of what each game is like.

For folks wanting to know more about the local clubs and matches, check KR Training’s list of those very things!

Only harsh thing was it got HOT today. I saw one bank clock/thermometer displaying 101º, tho most places are in the mid-90’s. Had to reapply the sunscreen, and while I know I got some tan I do hope I’m not burned… so far it looks good, but I’ve got a layer of dust and dirt on me. 🙂

Going to hit the shower, then time for a Sam Adams.

Good day.

  1. Yeah? Well, when we stepped out of the truck here in Colorado Springs, it was cooler this evening than it was when we left Texas at OMYGAWDITSEARLY this morning.

    • Wondered where you were. 🙂

      And… I also got to discover that the sun spends most of its time behind us. The back of my legs are a nice lobster red. I even recall thinking to myself at one point “Do I need to reapply sunscreen to my legs? (look down at FRONT of legs) Nah… they look OK and class is almost over.” Then class runs long…

  2. We’ve got some great shots of snow on the ground not only up on the mountains but next to the road as we drive by. I’ll work up a remote post and paste it if I get a hotspot during the vacation or after we get back.
