I'll take a chance on the acronym. How about this, the only thing you need to know about jerking is JIB: jerking is bad.

Dave is the real deal, a character, but the real deal.
Tell him there’s an SF Master Sergeant still waiting for the case of beer he owes for being beat on the range in Okinawa.
That will surely get his attention.....

I would train with Dave Harrington (again). He was a SWCS instructor when I went through SOT in '95. Fair warning - he's very focused and has a "strong" personality. I haven't seen him in years, but I doubt any of that's changed. FWIW - Peregrino

Deadly Force
I suppose if I'm ever faced with a deadly force situation and decide to engage the bad guy with my firearm and faced with a charge in courte and the judge ask's "Why did you shoot him 15 times?" my reply will be "I ran out of ammo"

"I quit shooting when he ceased being a threat."

I'm no "Expert" in fact still a novice, but with a little training none the less. I'm just suspicious of most of these schools unless I see credentials that are more like Paul Howe, Larry Vickers, or TEAM SERGEANT. Keith Goerz is also included, my friend. After all, it's my money for this type of instruction. Not to sound like I deserve the best, but again, it's my money.

82ndtrooper, having taken those courses, this is probably redundant for you.
One could not imagine how much marksmanship knowledge (mindset, shooting/malfunction drills, legal aspects, and even a glimpse of tactics) are available on this site w/ keywords such as dry fire, surgical accuracy, Vivo y Pendejo, hole in hole, etc. A year ago, I archived and perused them all. Needless to say, I won 1st place in my 1st action pistol match against those with more firearms than my digits and who've been shooting longer than my living. (I do dry fire like a zen master practicing kyudo though)
Anyway, those are basically a small portion of collective knowledge/experience from Peregrino, TS, NDD, SFAUC instructor, LEs and others. This is even before Kgoerz, Longrange1947 and Gene Econ joined the party. The knowledge is there for those willing to look and learn (unless/until Dan take it down one day perhaps)
