Another Excellent CPL Class

Yesterday I had the opportunity to teach another excellent Michigan CPL class.

The class had six students, all of them part of a group of friends or the adult kids of the friends, so everyone knew each other.

It was a fun bunch with lots of good-natured ribbing and joking in between class sections.

It was also a very serious bunch who all listened attentively, asked good questions, and took the class extremely seriously.

For the written exam, I had the highest percentage of perfect scores with only one student missing a perfect score by one question and he knew what he had missed picked up on it immediately.

The range portion was a solid three hours going through all the class shooting exercises. Quite a few shooters improved quite markedly after some pointers regarding grip, stance and aiming fundamentals.

The whole class was a solid 10 hours with a working lunch.

Darn good class, and there's now a bunch of competent and trained people ready to start their CPL applications.

Sunday Instructional: An Excellent CPL Class

Today I conducted an NRA certified class that is required for the Michigan Concealed Pistol License class for four students.

Interestingly enough, two of the participants are related to bloggers I know, and the two others were acquaintances I knew from elsewhere so it was a very comfortable environment and everyone got on quite well.

There was great discussion, they absorbed the material most attentively and carefully listening to all of it and especially to the Michigan legal section, and everyone enjoyed the class.

At 8.5 hours, it was a bit longer than the required 8 hours and we worked straight through lunch to make sure all the material was covered and everyone fully understood the material.

At the range, they did quite well, except for one getting lost along the way to the range (how you miss it when the route was left form the parking lot, right turn at the first street, a left when that street runs out followed by a right into the parking lot of the range is beyond me....) but the participant manged to find it eventually.

I was able to make some pointers to a couple of them that visibly improved their shooting, which is a nice feeling. One of the attendants, the son-in-law of one of the bloggers I know, needed no pointers whatsoever. He blasted his way most competently through the shooting portion with safety, speed, and accuracy, so both he and the blogger should be proud.

It was a darn good class and I had a very enjoyable time teaching it.

Now I'm home doing the final paperwork for it, and that's a day.
