CRG-3 with Randy Harris: Charlestown, IN -- 11,12 July 2015
Gotta make this quick, as I've been on hold fighting with US Army Human Resources Command for over 2.5 hours now... 
Another enjoyable and successful class given by Randy (and hosted / supported by Jeff B.), regardless of the torrential downpour we experienced on the morning of Day 2. This "more-seasoned" group of shooter-students (trigger time, not age) thoroughly enjoyed Randy's excellent shooting demonstrations and superior instructional knowledge & expertise; we liked the classroom review of the basics (with examples, stories, a detailed history of shooting over the decades, and a number of practical exercises to 100% back up what was being put out), which were immediately followed by range time to build muscle memory and practice what was discussed until the lessons were firmly internalized.
Contact-distance drills, multiple attackers, getting off the "X" in every conceivable direction, and engaging threats at distance were all covered. The students got along well -- we didn't have "that guy" (unless it was me....hey, wait a minute!) -- and we all learned a little from each other as well as Randy; there was excellent post-class camaraderie as we fired each other's pistols, told war stories of military, LE and CCW experiences, and went through a pretty detailed AAR (after-action review) of the class topics, of Randy's facilitation, and we discussed future plans for other classes at that site and with the class participants.
All in all, the class delivered on its training objectives, and then some.
Good meeting you all -- and thanks again, Randy and Jeff !
