TLG on beginners 4 hour class

My "four hours to train a newbie" session looks like this.

1 - Safety rules including demonstration with blue gun

2 - Practice picking up the gun, holding the gun and manipulating the gun with a proper strong hand grip and trigger finger in a hard register. While doing this work hard on muzzle safety too so they're ingraining finger and muzzle discipline as a top priority. If they get these two things down we've massively increased safety.

3 - Practice some approximation of a proper two handed grip enough that they at least don't do a cup and saucer grip or wrap their thump the wrong way around the beavertail and cut their thumb.

4 - Start off with the usual one round or two rounds to a 5 foot then 5 yard target chest and quickly advance to Bill Drill and Mozambique drills.

5 - Have them put a magazine or two into the berm while looking at the gun (not the sights) to try and minimize or eliminate the blink/flinch.

6 - Do lots of repetitions of retrieving the gun from their intended carry/storage method so that they get solid practice safely getting the gun into operation. If it's purse carry we'll practice drawing from the purse. If the gun has a safety we'll make sure they can get the safety off every time.

7 - If we have a little more time we might go out to 10-15 yards for some "long range" confidence preferably on steel.

8 - Wrap it up with a little movement to shoot box type stuff so they can practice trigger and muzzle discipline while moving.
