- I found David's instruction to be very course related. Not only going over the required material, but expanding the concept of what it means to carry a concealed hand gun. From holster selection, scenario concepts, low light shooting and target acquisition to name a few. He gave practical instruction on the over all responsibility and ideas of carrying a concealed hand gun and left you with the idea that it is more then a permit in your pocket and gun on your hip.
- Great instruction from an experienced law enforcement officer! I took the CCH course and found it to be very informative - not only regarding the legal issues of concealed carry, but in other areas such as stance, trigger control, and situational shooting where David went beyond what was required for the course so we were better trained. He also gave us a considerable amount of information on exercises and drills that can be performed "off-range" to increase accuracy (most of which cost almost nothing). Highly recommended!
