Had to spin up my little sister quickly….

Wambli Ska

Went down to visit her and she’s never held a gun in her hands before.  She decided a Glock 43 was perfect for her hands and needs (it is).  I only approved the purchase but tried not to influence the decision.  About 2.5 hours at her pace, the smile on her face was precious.

After her fundamentals were solid… Her first 9mm target ever.  3 yards, Kinesthetic alignment, two hands, from High Compressed Ready position, 1-3 shots per repetition using visualization.  

She handles recoil like a champ, better than most men I’ve trained.  Amazing what someone can do when you don’t tell them something is hard.

Teaching fundamentals with a Glock 44.

She’s a tiny little thing, ain’t she…🥰

Going back in a couple of weeks to give more advanced training.  But she’s sleeping better now…

That will work, soon she will be collecting holsters and start getting sales adds by email for ammo

I told her she’s my new personal Tactical Barbie doll 🤣🤣🤣

Malibu Tactical Barbie?

It's amazing what people can do when they Trust, Listen, Want to Learn and Try.

When people come in with their own preconceived notions of how to shoot "properly", they tend to be the hardest to teach.

The Latina version 🤣

When I train folks it’s usually the guys that resist the most learning anything new or changing what they already do.  When I get a guy in the 50-60s that starts a training session telling me he has been shooting for 30 years and only needs a brush up I try to stay open minded until I watch them but it usually means I’m going to need the BFH and lots of time.

I had a guy that I spent an hour with just trying to get him to stop crossing the thumb from his support hand behind the gun.  He had the scars to prove he’d bled before so he adapted to it by developing a ridiculously high grip that kept jamming his guns because it looked and functioned an awful lot like limp-wristing when he shot.  Actually we started the session with him announcing that every pistol he owned was unrealizable and he would only carry revolvers because of this.  I almost went to look for the e-collar we use for dog training and was sick of showing him that his Glock 19 was NOT an unreliable gun when he finally broke and the bulb went off in his head!

Women in general come with clean skates and zero ego.  I love training them, you can travel light years in hours.  Some men do too.  I do well with military guys because they are used to listening and following orders so I can help clean them up quickly.  Worked with a few Marines from LeJune that knew they needed more pistol training than what the USMC gives them.  They had the carbine skills down so we just worked from those fundamentals and backwards engineered pistol skills to go with them.  Worked like a champ!

I'm always wary of folks that have pre-prepared oral resumés ready to go.

"I've been shooting for X many years."

"I used to be an officer with the (insert department here)."

"I was a certified blah, blah, blah."

"Me an my buddies grew up with guns and shooting."

"I learned all of this in the Army" (Then can't name a single duty station)

I usually just think to myself, then why am I looking at a 30 yard buckshot pattern at 5 yards?

"My gun doesn't like this ammo."

"This is one of my worst guns."

"This gun has never shot straight."

I then ask to shoot the gun and proceed to make one ragged hole at 5 yards. Blank expressions all around then,

"Well, maybe it shoots straight for you but not for me."

AMAZING

A lot of folks just want a rubber stamp and don't want to take classes on shooting seriously. They're the "Wall" students, mostly guys, all full of themselves.

It's at this point I have remind myself of Galatians 6:9 or Proverbs 15:18. About having Patience.

Well done!  That's fantastic to see.

Thanks!  I left her a dummy plastic training gun and I check with her every night to make sure she’s practicing her drills.  So far she’s doing great.  👍
