I very much enjoyed attending firearms and safety courses lead by Matt Watson. He has a very savvy method of imparting useful knowledge to his students through hands on drills, raising questions about common misconceptions, and humorous but relevant anecdotes. The most memorable piece of advice was: “The best people to learn from are lazy people, because they use the least amount of effort to complete a task.” For each drill or course of fire, Matt would explain the drill, demonstrate the drill, and then explain the purpose of practicing such drill. As each student performs the drill, Matt and his fellow instructors provided instant feedback on the student’s performance, at some points in case of a weapon’s failure or misunderstanding of the course of fire, Matt would allow the student to reset the drill. After the completion of the drill, Matt provides feedback on what the student did well, and what the student should work on when the drill is repeated. Matt courses are tailored to the least experienced shooters in the class, but challenges are also added in for the more experienced students, for example, having students shoot at smaller targets, move faster, or shoot from further away. More importantly, Matt’s courses generates returning students for the same class. The biggest value capture is the competition for the coveted TOC patch. At the end of each class is a final course of fire where the students complete head to head. The student who bests his fellow classmates goes home with that patch. Generally, with one known exception, one patch is issued for each class.
It has been my pleasure to attend courses lead by Matt Watson, and I highly recommend this instructor to teach your next fires and safety courses.
