Course with Chris Tilley: What format do you prefer?

[Zaitsev]

Hey guys,

So, the MIC 2012 is approaching very fast and this year's match promises to be a great one!

CRAFM/CTM and myself are very excited to announce that World Top Shooter Chris Tilley will be back again this year to shoot the MIC! Chris really enjoyed the match and the people last year and decided to come back to Montreal this year.

Chris and I (I will be mostly assisting while Chris will be leading the course) are planning on giving a course arround the dates of the MIC which will be again on the last weekend of January(27, 28 and 29th of January). Now, we want to make this course the best possible and therefore, we would like to know what kind of format people prefer for those types of courses. So far, here are the different options that we had in mind:

1) Begginner/Intermediate course before the day of the match(arround the 26th most likely) like we did last year;
2) Begginner/Intermediate course after the match is over(on the 30th);
3) Begginner/Intermediate course before the match plus the students would get to shoot on the same squad as Chris and I(with explanation on stage breakdown, mental preparation, stage tactics, etc.) followed by an advanced course on the 30th(people would have the option of signing up for everything, just the begginner/intermediate plus the match or just the advanced);
4) Avanced course only before or after the match;
5) Begginer/Intermediate course and advanced course on two different days before or after the match where people would have the option to take only one or both;
6) Other(please explain).

Even if you will not be taking the course, I would like to hear what everyone prefers or if you have attended one or many courses like this one in the past, what format do you prefer?

This is a great opportunity for every shooter regardless of what your skill level might be right now. Chris is a very accomplished shooter, a truly amazing instructor and a real gentleman. He has a lot of experience in this sport and is always willing to share it with his students. This is a shortcut to seeing a major improvement in your shooting. Do not pass on this great opportunity.

Thanks for your help and looking forward to seeing you all in Montreal at the end of January.

where do we sign up for the match?

The info will be posted soon and an official thread dedicated to the match will be available soon. But for now(no offend), please let's focus on the main subject of this thread which is the course.

Once again, even if you will not be taking the course, that doesn't stop you from giving your opinion. I want to hear what everybody has to say about this so please, don't be affraid to vote and to comment. The more answers I get the better.

Thanks for your help guys.

I made a mistake and picked option # 2. I would have picked OTHER,...
the reason being I would think shooting with Chris, he could then watch for mistakes, technique improvements, etc....and then after the match he could give the course,..as he had watched them shoot under match conditions.

Along the lines Mo suggested, but perhaps not shooting at the same time with Chris, because I doubt he'll have time to couch or watch everyone closely during the match he is shooting himself, so allow everyone to watch him shoot and once he is done, he can couch the group and/or watch their shooting and take notes, to be used at the course after the match.
