Handgun training: my next step. (Update)

watch to see if the person you are helping is trying your advice, if not, Never Speak To Them Again.

I suspect that was said jokingly...

Some advice is unintentionally ignored -- 'cause new shooters can be overwhelmed by too many new things at one time, and they just forget.

Or, maybe the advice just doesn't work for them? It happens. One example -- some instructors recommend straight arms when firing using both hands, but that just doesn't work for me. I get better results with my arms slightly bent (elbows not locked!) The straight/stiff arms may work very well for some shooters.

Well, I had a great day at the training class with Larry. It was a treat to spend the day with my fellow student, Millie. She seems like a great lady, and it was a real pleasure to meet her.

Shooting-wise, I got a lot of help from Larry with improving on my fundamentals of pistol shooting. I came with particular questions about my recoil control, and I got very solid instruction on that. Also, it looks like I need to re-evaluate the placement of my trigger finger on the trigger. Shooting a TDA, I've got the habit of getting a lot of finger on that trigger for leverage, but some of my shooting today suggests I'll be able to do better if I go back to the standard 'center of distal pad' placement. Time will tell. We covered lots of other stuff--but I'm leaving out some of the main takeaways and plenty of other details because I'm kinda tired! :)

Next time Millie puts together a cool training class, I hope more of us can join her!

Thanks for the kind words! It was great meeting you and watching your shooting!
Larry said he'd be happy to have us as students whenever we want a class, and I told him I hoped some more forum people will join in with us next time.
I'm exhausted, and my head is full of thoughts that need to be sorted out, but I'll make a "Larry" thread soon.
 
Louise and Larry Brown (1).jpeg Here's a pic of me at my Larry Brown class a couple of weeks ago. He had us shooting a "stage" with 2 cardboard match targets and 3 steel ones, set up a few yards apart, with the steel ones farther away than the paper ones. Our task was to shoot 3 in the center of each paper one, and one each in the 3 steel ones. Seemed simple enough....but it wasn't. LoL.
