Summary,

I would like to run some numbers for you all so you can see how well the course went and understand the level of competence the students are at. Each student was aware of the condition of their firearm and maintained personal firearm safety to the proper level. On Saturday the PDW Course was four students, each student shot about 500 rounds each in 6 hours. On Sunday, two students for the AR-15 Owners Course shot about 350 rounds of ammunition in 3 hours. That is a total of 3000 rounds shot is 9 hours of training by us seven “including me and my demos” or 333.33 rounds an hour with no injuries or firearm safety violations. Thank you for being so proactive!

Great class as usual, @JBoyette

One correction: I shot a PSA AR pistol with a Vortex Venom RDS. It was in a Burris mount, though

Admittedly, I am still an AR newbie but it was great to learn the techniques taught in this class and what I need to work on in my own time. I am already trying to figure out how to use some of these techniques at my more restricted range (FLD) but think I can make them work after talking with Paul

I decided to run my 10.5” AR pistol for this and found out I probably need to go with an 11.5-12.5” instead. It was nimble but a little small for me and my support hand placement took more forethought than necessary (my pointer finger got singed a couple times on the flash can). And I definitely need more time behind a RDS to get comfortable
 
If anyone is on the fence about taking one of @JBoyette 's classes, quit thinking and jump in. I've watched John offer classes for the past 10-ish years on the various iterations of this forum, and knew had a good reputation. I got to experience it firsthand this past weekend. I didn't detect any ego, no attitude--both things are easy to permeate this type of activity. John's got opinions and experiences, but he's not there to cram them down your throat. All he asks is you try it--the end. You decide if it works for you. Hate to say it, but I expected a bunch of browbeating just given the fact that we were playing with guns and John's resume is pretty impressive. I was mistaken.

Good work, John. Welcome back to the training world. Hope you stick around a while.

Now to get you mobile somehow so you can bring your training to other metro areas (i.e. Charlotte). If it weren't a nice 2-hour drive all the way out 24/27 I'd complain about it!
