How does that add up to 10 hours?
I think, in theory, there is 8 hours of lecture time and 2 more hours allotted for range time giving a total of 10 hours. However, its been a LONG time since I've stayed in a Holiday Inn. This might just be the allotted lecture time.

While I understand your objection to this, you have to remember that they are trying to entice other customers into using the service.....because it is a profit center for them.....or at least, they are trying to make it into a profit center. Anyway, if it sounds like fun on the Internet (which it does), it must look like fun to people watching through the glass, and that sells admission tickets.

If you're a little bit embarrassed about people watching your skills (I would be in that situation), then the obvious answer is to get better at them. :mrgreen:
I might get embarrassed, but I think the added attention would add to the stress level making the experience just a tinny bit more realistic. Poor performance in a training exercise with little to no actual risk is a great tool to learn from. I would rather find out there that I need more practice than a real life experience.

Re: Gander Mountain Academy in Spring, TX

Sounds like a blast. If I ever get down there again I'll have to try and remember to try this out.
