Summer is here! (apart from random snowblizzards every day)

Overall everything is going well. Pratice has been mostly alot of the "dry" kind as the weather has been far from supportive. This past weekend was my first course as an instructor. My club held the basic IPSC handgun course for 6 students, and we (me and my fellow instructors) cramed as much information we could into them in two days filled with repetition of the basic CoF, saftey guidelines and drills. At the end of Sunday everyone, both instructors and students exhausted from the experience and I am happy to say it was more fun then I expected. Not only could I find myself secure in explaining rules (Thanks RO-Course!) but also in the pratical, hands-on teaching. As we have a IPSC examinator in the club, he was also there and watched over both the students and us instructors, listening in on what we said, and how the students absorbed what we teached.

It was far more enjoyable, even as a fairly new IPSC competitor to share experience, tips, and hammer in the most important aspect of it all: Saftey, Saftey, Saftey.

If the weather just could stop having such temper, I forsee a great start of what looks to be a great season.
