General Discussion / Re: Handgun Classes Rant
« on: May 19, 2014, 07:57:13 PM »
all im saying is that if i began my journey into firearm ownership today,  it would be hard to find information if i didnt know anyone or knew about this forum etc.

where can you sign up for lets say a multiday handgun class that i will pay someone to teach me the proper basics?

id have to go to a life session or hdf.  are there others?  where do the instructors at the gun shows teach their students?  at the public range?  certainly not at any o the action bays...

what am i missing?  ive seen individuals at the range who seems to care that they cannot hit thier pistol target at 25yds.  where can thise individuals go?

There are many clubs that use the action bays, inquire with the range officers.

MPPL.net is 1 of 3 IPSC clubs that use the action bays. There you can draw from holster, reload from your mag pouches and shoot ALL 10rds from your magazines. They also have rifle side matches as well as shotgun matches. There will be a true 3-Gun match coming this 2nd half of the year at hawaiipracticalshooters.org

I can only speak from personal experience.  My daughter and I took the class from OGC.  Pleasant, informative, as much hands-on shooting as you desired at end of class, and reasonably priced (including ammo). 

Firearm training is like dog obedience school.  The school doesn't teach the dog, they teach the owner how to teach the dog.  It's up to the owner to work daily with the dog and reinforce the lessons.

With firearm training, you get the basic familiarity, the important laws to follow, references for additional research, and enough shooting to demonstrate you can safely operate the gun (load, unload, aim and fire).  That's enough to introduce a new shooter to the safety rules. 

Actual proficiency and advanced skills do require self teaching (Internet, DVDs, magazine articles), peers with experience and possibly a mentor.  The ideal method is to join a club or pay for professional courses like Front Sight. 

While it's nice to hope for expert marksmanship training BEFORE anyone buys their first gun, it's not reality.  Training is an ongoing process, and as a shooting community, we are obligated to help the new shooters at the range whenever we see they are in need.  If you aren't willing to do it yourself, say something to the RSO. They are always willing to help.

The minimum training requirements set by the state is a happy medium. Though it is definitely not enough training for those who have never touched a gun in their life it is also painful to those residents who moved here from out of state who already owned 10 guns trying to purchase in state. Imagine if you've owned and shot firearms for 15yrs, a current holder of a CCW permit and then have someone tell you that you have to take another 6hr "Handgun Safety Course" to buy one in this state, no waivers..  :wacko:

You may sign up as many people as you like so long as their course fee has been paid.
