I held a one-day CCW class today for 6 students. Wow, that was a long day. It would have been longer had a friend of mine not tought the last hour or so of the class. He did me a favor and let me cut out early to attend my Son's final hockey practice of the season.

Everyone did very well and I was very pleased with how much of the information the absorbed. It's interresting. I get experienced shooters all the time tell me they learned something new in one of my classes. That makes me feel good and lets me know I'm doing my job.

I was sure we would be behind from time to time, but either the students were absorbing everything, or we were just really good at what we were doing. Judging by the test scores, I'll assume the latter is more of the case. It worked out, because we had plenty of time for questions, and we were able to add in some stuff we normally teach on the range.

It was a really long day. About 11 hours total for me to setup, teach, and take everything down. I used a series of 35mm slides I created for visual aids. I'm pretty sure they helped make the retention of the material easier. We'll be quicing the students next week at the range on some of the material. Maybe one lucky person in each of the two groups will get a prize.
