Guys,
Just finished a three-day Handgun I course from Louis Awerbuck this weekend. Has to be among the single best things I've ever spent money on when it comes to shooting, and I've taken several courses from the biggest names in the business.
Not only did he raise my level of pistol shooting by an incredible degree and instilled confidence in my abilities, but I have never seen an instructor take so much time with every single person on the line that was having trouble. He diagnoses the problem almost immediately, gets the shooter to correct, and turns it into a lesson for all.
He also dispelled a lot of myths, and countered what some trainers teach as "gospel". For example, the quick 180 degree swivel to scan after each drill is over: apparently, there is no way your brain can process all the visuals that you see that quickly, esp when you have all the adrenaline, cortisol, and other chemical dump that happens under extreme stress. Quite eye opening.
I will say this -- at the start of day one, there were inexperienced people who could barely keep shots from ten feet in a 10" circle. By the end of day three, each and every person in the class was able to make a clear moving headshot on a bad guy with three other "innocent" mannequins moving around and behind the target.
Louis Awerbuck guys... whether handgun, carbine, or shotgun, I cannot recommend him more highly. At the very least, buy one or both of his books.
