I enjoyed the class, and the instructor made it interesting for us. He brought up possibilities, scenarios, and thoughts that I hadn't considered. I feel like I took a lot away from his class and even bought the book he recommended to us: Verbal Judo by George Thompson.
I didn't know whether I should be proud or scared about the shooting qualification, though. Our class was split into two groups. I don't know how the other group fared, but I was the only girl in my group and I know I shot as good as one guy (at minimum...I may have shot better) and better than everyone else.
I was in the last lane, and the instructor told us to leave our targets when we left to go fill out paperwork. I got to walk past every other lane on my way to the door, and some targets looked like swiss cheese. Shots all over the paper, as though that day was their first time to shoot a handgun. Mine was in a fairly good group, considering I don't normally use the gun I had. Since my gun has yet to arrive, I used my husband's Taurus PT92, and the double stack grip is too wide for my hands, making shooting a little more difficult. Still, I managed to keep all but two rounds in the "5" scoring area. The other two were just outside the line, into the "4" scoring area.
Hubby said, "Congratulations...but I shot better on my qualification!" And so he did. Goofball.
Anyway, I'm sending off my packet tomorrow and I'll be lounging around in the waiting room for a while!
