If someone shows up to a CHL class with the misunderstanding that they are attending a 'learn to shoot' class, that's on the instructor or staff during the sign up. It was made explicitly clear on my instructor's website & by the person making my reservation that the CHL class was not an intro to shooting and that a required part of the class would be a demonstration of my proficiency. Of course I was also given info about further training that's available from my instructor....stevie_d_64 wrote:'Bout hit it on the head there...Students should come to the class proficient in the firearm they are using. There are many 'newbies' who think that they are going to learn to shoot in the CHL class. It is not designed that way. There is a need for instructors who are proficient at relaying the material to their students.
What the student (newcomer) needs to absolutely understand is there is a lot more to learn and become more proficient at in this community, and that there is a plethra of individuals here, and elsewhere that are available to pick their brains (so to speak), for advice, direction, demonstration...
And even for folks who teach, there is always room to learn...

Re: We are the enemy
Even after reading about this on here for a couple of months, I still don't have a problem with the introductory class as it is. But I'd probably credit my instructor for that. The day seemed to fly by, and I found all of the information to be valuable. If there was added filler, I couldn't tell you where it began or ended. If the CHL class mandates remain as they currently are, I'll probably take the whole class again for my renewal.
