It's that time of year again. Work has been crazy so I'm a few weeks later setting this up than I like, but better late than never. As well, trying to find two weekends with no major match conflicts and available range bookings is quite a challenge but in any case, for those interested:

Two-day IPSC skills development workshops at Waterloo County Revolver Association on the weekends of May 15/16 and/or June 19/20.

Level 1: (foundation).
Level 2: (movement), which builds on the skills acquired on day 1.

Students can opt for level 1 only or level 1 and 2.
Classes are small and limited to 5 students!!

Curriculum:

Level 1. (Approximately 550 rounds)
1) Safety. This will be of primary focus throughout the course. Muzzle direction and trigger management will be stressed at all times.
2) Accuracy. Sight in and how to shoot an accurate shot.
3) Stance, grip, draw and mount.
4) Reloads.
5) Weak hand and strong hand shooting, transfers.
6) Strong/weak hand table pick ups, pick up and load.
7) Kneeling. Left, right, to front, to back, leaving kneeling position, and low kneeling.
8) Prone. When kneeling just won’t get it done.

Level 2. (Approximately 550 rounds)
1) Setting up, taking off and rolling stops (preservation of momentum).
2) Shoot and move. Forward, horizontal, diagonal. Reloads incorporated.
3) Shoot and move. BACKWARDS! Reloads incorporated.
4) Target acquisitions and transitions.

This course will be intensive and detailed, and there will be lots of shooting, so please bring reliable gear. To be safe, bring at least 550 rounds for each day!!

Price for day 1 or day 2 is $200.00
Price for both days is $375.00
Deposit required and classes will be small so space is limited. First come/first served. PM if interested.

As an added bonus these workshops will be sponsored by AIM Projectiles, so there will be prizes. Categories are still up for discussion but could be things like: best accuracy, safest gun handling, best hair cut, fiercest facial expression, worst trigger pull, whitest legs, most Tim-bits eaten….whatever else I can think of.

Be well

Of all of the classes I took when I was trying to climb past my competition, Rob's was the most useful to me. There was nothing wrong with the other instructors (and Eric Grauffel was one of them), but Rob's approach and the things he focused on worked the best with me and my style of shooting, plus everything was very applicable to the type of stages and matches we have here in Ont. For anyone who wants to learn how to decrease stage times without shooting faster (i.e. less stage time without any sacrifices in accuracy), this series is definitely the class/course/etc to take...

I must agree!
 
I took a Rob's course last September and the only regret I had is that I didn't take his course earlier. Rob is a great and very methodical instructor and he helped to build skills from the ground up, explaining mechanics and fundamentals as we progressed. Rob's course was an eye opener for me and I believe it is a best investment for anyone who is planning to stay in the sport.

BTW, Rob, it would be great to see some more advanced workshops, e.g. one on shooting moving targets.
 
BTW, Rob, have you thought about more advanced and maybe shorter workshops, e.g. one on shooting moving targets?

I have, and have a curriculum pretty much worked ready to go. Didn't think there would be as much interest for that so haven't pushed it.

Barricades, steel shooting, funky start positions, and movers. Match prep (gear, ammo, food, fluids, clothing etc). It's pretty much a full day, though I guess It could be stripped and compartmentalized. With the busy lives people lead these days, I'm all for leveraging time and going with the whole day for maximum input/shortest time.
 
I took this course last year, with EUXX actually, and I have to agree with everything that has been stated so far.

As a totally new pistol shooter, let alone IPSC participant, this course accelerated my learning curve beyond what I could have imagined.

I actually find myself practicing my duck walk when I go up and down stairs at the office, or on and off sidewalk curbs, just trying to keep the bounce to a minimum!!

I agree with Eugene, an "advanced" course would be nice.
Rob, you have at least two shooters for that one!

Steel is my nemesis.
 
I asked Rob's help 2 years ago to spend a few hours to help explain and demonstrate some basics to my daughter about the grip and stance for quick sight recovery and other stuff. Rob seems to know how break it down and analyze your shooting flaw and technique which I think is the foundation specially for new shooters.
 
bump to note:
2 spots now open (cancellations) for the May 15/16 session if anyone is interested at this short notice. June still holding at full.
Thanks

Many thanks to the great group of guys (and one lady) who came out and spent the weekend with me running around in the fresh and working their way through the May 15/16 IPSC techniques workshop. As always I am amazed at the innate ability of IPSC people to adapt on the fly, spend an entire weekend with people they may barely know, and get along like old friends.
Sponsored by Aim Projectiles, prizes were given out for such things as; Top Female, Neatest beard, Hardest partier (how are you even still alive Simar...?), Most visible hat, Knobbiest knees, Earliest arrival and of course, Most intense grip. Many thanks to Aim Projectiles for supporting us yet again.
I enjoyed myself immensely and after a day and a half of running drills, it was very cool watching everyone wring the juice out of that stage in so many different ways. Great fun! And I slept like a dead man when I got home.
I'm posting a group picture on the Aim web page: www.aimprojectiles.com
