Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA

Well I finally get a break from students today. We just got done doing a five day instructors block. The Arkansas State Police require anyone applying to become a conceal carry instructor to have a NRA range safety officer certificate . As a result we get a lot of very inexperienced students. “ I have been hunting and shooting my whole life” Does not begin to prepare you to become an RSO. Nor does PRETENDING you are an X Navy seal, Halo jumper, Delta HRT member, Ranger, Marine etc etc etc. I get posers in every single class. They wear me out, they puff and posture for their fellow unsuspecting students. Then we go to the range! Hah! Shooting is kind of like welding, you can talk all the smack you want but at some point your hands got to prove it. Takes about two seconds for that verification! Hah!
