That being said, a poor marksman is a poor marksman and bullets don't just stop and give up because they missed the bad guy. Range time isn't the issue as far as I can tell, they're cutting the classroom time down. back when I took my course I was the only student and we had already covered all the course material, done dry fire exercises, contact shooting, hypotheticals, coming out of the holster and a bunch of other stuff till we ended up shooting the shit for a while and eventually we called it a day after 8 hours instead of 10 and put in 2 extra hours at the range the next day. I can't say how it would work out in a class of 20 but I imagine that just like when we have training at work and even back when I was in school there is always some dullard that has white dog shit for brains and either can't hold focus on the instructor or can't create the neural connections required for digesting new info and drag the class down with idiotic questions. There are stupid questions. Fuck what your 3rd grade teacher told you.
