Re: Survey results
This stuff sounds right. +1 to it.badgerw wrote:here are a few observations:
1. Handling a broad range of students is important. Classes contain former military / law enforcement folks who are quite familiar with guns (and especially their own). They also contain folks who have never shot a gun.
2. Handling the "class clowns" is important.
3. Addressing the legal issues is important. Finding the right balance between giving a textbook answer and giving legal advice is tough.
4. People prefer clean, quiet classrooms with comfortable chairs. They like access to coffee, cold drinks, and snacks.
5. Visual aids, video presentations that are interesting and in small doses, and handouts are well liked.
6. For some people, class times other than the weekend are important.
7. Not surprisingly, many people would prefer more time on the range.
8. In states like Texas where photos, fingerprints, and notaries are required, people like "one stop shopping."
9. Above all, people want safe professional instructors who aren't dragging their egos along in Radio Flyer wagons.

Giving out references for further personal or written instruction are always good. Lets people know there is more they can learn and where they can learn it.
In my class I would have liked to see a bit more marksmanship/gun handling instruction. Some people are good walking into class, some people aren't and need more instruction before walking out of class.
