00:00.040 --> 00:02.457
(rock music)

00:10.227 --> 00:12.896
^- Today, we conducted a district 14

00:12.896 --> 00:15.229
^firearms instructor workshop

00:15.259 --> 00:19.156
to showcase the firearms training and evaluation

00:19.156 --> 00:21.931
for the pistol, which is the new course replacing

00:21.931 --> 00:23.069
the basic pistol course

00:23.069 --> 00:25.200
and practical pistol course for the first leg.

00:25.200 --> 00:26.479
(pistol shot)

00:26.479 --> 00:28.244
The complete way of thinking is training.

00:28.244 --> 00:31.563
We have gone from a crawl to a walk to a run method

00:31.563 --> 00:33.188
to train new shooters

00:33.188 --> 00:35.978
from the very basic steps in the classroom,

00:35.978 --> 00:39.127
to dry firing, through multiple drills

00:39.127 --> 00:41.789
working up to an advanced course of fire

00:41.789 --> 00:44.988
which will give shooters a practical pistol qualification.

00:44.988 --> 00:46.694
^- I thought it was fantastic experience.

00:46.694 --> 00:49.120
^I've been an FAI for almost 11 years,

00:49.120 --> 00:51.886
and this is a completely out of the box experience for me.

00:51.886 --> 00:54.787
And me being a permanent proficient shooter,

00:54.787 --> 00:56.620
I even improved today.

00:57.121 --> 00:59.299
There has been so much complacency over the years

00:59.299 --> 01:01.202
with the course of fire that we have been running,

01:01.202 --> 01:02.268
even between instructors,

01:02.268 --> 01:04.476
and it was really great to be able to

01:04.476 --> 01:05.484
go back to fundamentals

01:05.484 --> 01:08.424
and do the crawl, walk, run process.

01:08.424 --> 01:11.061
And it significantly improved my skills.

01:11.061 --> 01:13.419
- This is gonna help by reducing the amount of

01:13.419 --> 01:15.347
shooters that have to re-shoot,

01:15.347 --> 01:17.692
come back to the range on a recurring basis

01:17.692 --> 01:19.518
and get follow on training,

01:19.518 --> 01:21.843
because the initial training they're receiving

01:21.843 --> 01:23.926
is so much more in depth,

01:23.931 --> 01:26.010
that they are gonna qualify, more likely,

01:26.010 --> 01:28.098
on the first time, rather than coming back

01:28.098 --> 01:30.265
iteration after iteration.
