This past weekend a couple of us took a class with someone we had not worked with before: Jon “Duffy” Dufresne. We have been eyeballing his NightVision Class and decided to jump into this class as it’s only a couple hours’ drive away. Handgun mechanics is a blended course. It is a blend between performance/practical shooting and defensive base shooting. It covers subjects like self-diagnostics, the importance of vision, and helps to push students to a higher level of performance no matter their level. This class is tailored to teach you how to use science, data, and experience to become a more efficient and consistent shooter.
It was a really fun class, great pace so you are constantly working on something or learning something. Lots of fun and joking around, so it’s not a cutthroat “let’s get better and work as hard as you can because if we don’t we die” class. It was a “let’s get better and have some fun while we do it”, a class for your more everyday shooters.
The first day was mostly static and getting some things established that would come into play day 2.
Day 2 was movements and transitions. I brought 1200 rounds and after all the shooting was done, I had only 130 rounds left. Now I did take a break to cool off on day 2 so I didn’t run a couple drills so I think I for sure would have shot all 1200. It was awesome. Duffy is the man. He made the class fun for everyone regardless of experience level. If you have taken pistol class and you are comfortable with it but you want to push it to the next level, this is the class to take.
I want to tell you more about the class but I do not want to give it all away, you gotta take the class yourself.
