I just spent an enjoyable Friday nght and Saturday 9 - 5 in an NRA Basic Pistol course hosted by the Rockville IWLA. These guys are awesome! An all-volunteer staff headed by Tom Willats puts on this course at least four times a year along with Basic Shotgun and safety courses. They charge a low price to cover housekeeping, and put these on as a public service -- but don't think because the price is low that the quality isn't high. Quite the contrary, by team teaching and having plenty of help for the range and "hands on" parts of the course, they cover all the bases, and give personal attention to each student.
If I try to mention names, I would surely leave someone out that really deserves to be mentioned. I will note that one of the members that worked with me (and others), Jay Copsey, really helped me to get a handle on controlling my shooting and giving me pointers that immediately improved my accuracy and consistency. With some practice, I will be a better shooter, thanks to Jay.
I'm not going to give you all of my 12 pages of notes, but I really wanted to post a public "THANK YOU!" to all of the members of the Germantown IWLA, including those who work behind the scenes to support and make these courses possible.
Thank you, gentlemen!
