Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA

Today I am refining curriculum in preparation of launching a red dot class. Wish you guys were all closer I would have you out to our range and use you guys as my test subjects for how well the class flows.
What we actually do is gather together our instructors and red ink the curriculum that has been developed, this is about the third evolution already. Once we establish a rough finished version we as instructors take the class and participate as students. You can imagine a bunch of instructor pistoleros pretending to be students, yep just as you imagine it! We actually get some great observations in between the occasional nonsense. There is no end to the creativity and ingenious ways we can trip each other up. The majority are all X military or LEO. Nothing is sacred. At the end of the day we typically put out a darn good version and a great new class. We are seeing more and more red dots show up in our classes. Many folks mount them, then have no idea what to do next, but it looks cool. I like to think all of our classes are living organisms, we teach it, get feedback, refine it and make it better each and every time we present the material. I firmly believe by creating a truly reciprocal teaching environment the students play an active role in making us all better, the class, the instructors, and the material.
See ya on the range!
