I accepted that a long time ago....with a wife, job, two kids and other priorities, even if I was capable of being like him, it wouldn't happen simply because of a lack of dedication. Unfortunately, my free time, energy and resources are split among a variety of things. I don't sleep and breathe IPSC. I think instruction is valuable to anyone shooting IPSC, but its scalable as well....you don't have to take instruction from the top shooter in the world to learn how to be a decent/good or even great shooter.
To those who will be attending, I'm sure you'll have a great time. In any event, I'm not complaining about the costs...in fact, I'm a little surprised its not more. The top shooter in the world of course will command a decent $ for teaching services. If this course fills up, its obvious that what he is charging is reasonable.
