Pincus Course Review
I am new to this forum....
-I had the fortune several weeks ago to attend the course, Combat Focus Shooting (CFS)/Advanced Pistol Handling (APH) conducted by Rob Pincus at Blackwing Shooting Center in Delaware, Ohio. Andy Loeffler, from the Blackwing staff, and Chris Benavidez, from Illinois, assisted. It is amazing to me how much of the material is still fresh in my mind….it really sunk in. -If you do not have a military or LEO background (I do not), do not be intimidated or reluctant to enroll in a Rob Pincus sponsored class if you have the opportunity. Rob provides constructive and appropriate feedback for all skill levels of the participants. He encourages, values, and respects participants’ questions. His attention to safety is paramount throughout the course. -Here are some of the takeaway topics from random memory (in no particular order) that I have from this 3-day CFS/APH course: Reliability of your pistol – you will shoot 1200+ rounds Relative merits of different handgun models and calibers The body’s natural reaction to a “Dynamic Critical Incident,” and the corresponding requisite handgun presentation for self defense, i.e., proper presentation from various positions The importance of “footwork”/lateral movement Shooting one hand, both strong and support hand Use of magazines and types of reloads Shot groupings, and the balance of speed and precision Malfunctions and hands (or hand) on clearing Type of sights and when to use Combat/self defense shooting and drills versus sport Practice drills Value of a training partner This is just a quick summary of my thoughts. I would highly recommend Rob Pincus’ new book and video. In fact, his entire line of instructional material is excellent. I plan to enroll in additional classes. My reason for writing this is that fellow shooters may benefit, as I have. Find further information at www.combatfocusshooting.com Larry Long |

I took the 2 day Combat Focus Shooting back in 2010.
I have recommended Rob's classes ever since. Well worth every penny. His book and DVD series are high quality as well.
