Lee Weems at Top Guns in Terre Haute 2/4-5 for two classes

[jlw]

Trigger Management
Friday, 2/4/22

Registration & Info Link

Have you ever missed a shot and had someone tell you it was because you jerked the trigger, and when you asked how to fix it they told you not to jerk the trigger? Well, this class is for you.

Trigger management is suitable for both new and experienced shooters. The class begins with a diagnostic session to show you what causes misses and how to fix them. From there, we will work on properly resetting the trigger during recoil, shooting with deliberate cadences, and more.


Essential Pistol
Saturday, 2/5/22

Registration & Info Link

Ideally, confrontations should be avoided. In the event that one has no choice but to use deadly force, the primary concern after legal justification will be getting the firearm between you and the attacker(s) in a useable manner.

Course content will include the effective presentation from the holster, the "arc of ready", quick and accurate shooting, malfunction clearances, and more.

The class is based upon the Handgun Combatives methodology developed by Dave Spaulding and will be presented by Handgun Combatives Certified Instructor Lee Weems.

Some people here may not know Lee Weems as he is not one of the current "sexy" trainers. He is however very knowledgeable and experienced. From what I understand he is becoming a better diagnostician all of the time and that is really what we need more of. I have signed up for one of these classes in MI next year and will probably sign up for the other.

I could definitely use the trigger management class. I’ll check my work schedule and hopefully I can make it.

There are two "don't miss" classes right in your back yard.

 

[jsharmon7]

I’m off on 2/4, so I’ll be signing up soon! The goal this year is to make it to 4 training classes. This will be a good start, I think.

 

[Patrick Taylor]

He has a pretty good podcast on youtube also.

Lee Weems as he is not ... "sexy"

That's not what I heard.

Also - I'm greatly debating these two classes of his and a John Murphy class in April.

I'm not sure that I can afford both, both from a tuition standpoint nor an ammo expense standpoint.

And I am signed up.

Officially signed up for “Trigger Management.” Please teach me how to shoot a respectable grouping. I’m “minute of steel plate.”

I am hoping he can help me deal with those two little guys at the top. Using the skip loading drills has already helped some, but 25 yards when they are the first shots of the day still trouble me.

I would be embarrassed to post my results these days. I shoot so infrequently I barely feel comfortable carrying. Its weird too. Some trips I'm stacking the on top of each other, but most days I'm all over the place. I really need to get back in to a regular practice regimen. Perhaps this class will be a good start. A friend did forward me a discount code from Cecil Burch since we hosted him this year. I've got plenty of need and few valid excuses now.

You’ll definitely not shoot worse than me. And, we will have fun with it!

I know those two shots well, and the diagnostics we will do will show you exactly what causes them.

They come from exerting pressure with the heel of your hand as you press the trigger.

Here's a post New Year's bump. Come join us.

With the way Omicron is going... I'm still hesitant for these indoor classes. As much as I want to.

Having someone analyze what I am doing wrong is great. How do you teach them to implement and retain the new skill and keep from reverting to old habits.

Do you do any videotaping or is that useful?

I will sometimes take a video with my phone to help them see what they are doing. It really comes down to the individual accepting what they are doing and then developing proper technique.

The classes are this weekend. We still have room for you.
