Are you outgunned? Do you know your adversary? Many of us, including me take the bad guy for granted. We tend to think they are uneducated knuckleheads who can’t shoot. Think again.

Last weekend I hosted Roger Phillips’ class “Point Shooting Progressions.” Wow! What a huge game changer! Never again will I put such an importance on sights on a handgun. I’m not saying they aren’t necessary, but they are far less important now. We were literally making quality hits out to 11 yards without using sights. One student lost his front sight on the 2nd day and finished the class with no front sight! He still made very good hits and was quite accurate without his front sight. Some trainers dismiss the validity of point shooting and go so far as to call it a fraud. I say, “Those who say it can’t be done, should quit bothering those of us who are doing it.” This is a review of the course.

This is a testimonial from a student at Close Range Gunfighting last summer. It’s sometimes good to hear other people’s experiences rather than listening to me talk about it. Many thanks to Damian for sharing his experience.

I’ve received a lot of emails and other messages regarding questions from people who want to get into firearms instruction. So I decided to record a podcast about my journey and how it came about and what is required, in my opinion. A lot of people can call themselves an instructor, but it’s my view that you need to have a certain skill set or at least a decent amount of training before teaching others. One cannot teach, that which they do not know.

This episode does not have one single topic. A couple of listeners called in some voice mails about 1911’s and a close call with a potential bad guy. Then Ben Branam and I discussed guns we want to purchase, tactical pens, holsters and training. So between my answers to the voice mails and the interview with Ben, it turned into a mixed bag of topics. Links can be found on the GRRN forum. Thanks for listening. Bob Mayne, Handgunworld Podcast.
