I would do Keller again in a heartbeat, not so with PatMac. IMHO Mac was for the show, though I would never underestimate his abilities. Keller was for go and much better teacher. A true quiet professional, but a lot of fun to be around once he sorted out the group. Bob Keller was very down to earth, sincere, discussed differences between military, LEO, and civilian reactions to different situations, answered questions, and in my estimation... honestly cared. We worked on mastering the basic come up (from low ready with rifle or from holster with pistol) and then built on that with more exercises and timer work. Based on what he said, he had been in a pile of gunfights, and his focus was on teaching what works as simply as possible - he said that is what makes the difference. He did do a great job of explaining what he does, why he does it, and how he continues to learn from others. Accuracy and speed on target is the basic building block - you can't go forward until you have this down and gave us the tools/drills to work on it. BUT he often said, if you have something that really works for you - he wasn't going to 'make' you do something different. Just try it and then make up your own mind. Then build enough repetitions over thousands of rounds of quality (not quantity) practice, to build the muscle/brain memory so it is an automatic response. From one who has done a lot of Adult education in my field, Bob is going to do well in the teaching field once he retires in a couple years. This was his basic course but in all my courses I have taken (and I learn from each one), this one was at the top.Originally Posted by Evil_McNasty
