I don't think "not training" is the same thing as "not paying someone else to train me."
A coworker, who used to be on our full-time, fairly hi-speed SWAT Team, frequently preaches the merits of a particular shooting school/facility, and carries on about how we should be finding the money to send people to it more. He has been to it multiple times. I was of the opinion that the same amount of time and ammo, spread over a few months of regular training, would probably be more useful in the long run.
I, this guy, and my training buddy are firearms instructors for our agency, and we were shooting some drills the other day, after our students had left the range. The name-brand-school acolyte was a soup sandwich. He is a good guy and a competent shooter, just really rusty. He is no longer on SWAT and has not been keeping things sharp on his own. I mentioned later, to my training buddy, that how much you dry fired in your basement over the last month is one hell of a lot more important than what school you attended six months ago. I have nothing against that school or any other, just sayin'.
I am not particularly interested in "how to shoot" training these days. I am, however, very interested in "how to fight" training. I can keep my weapons skills up pretty well on my own, but there is a lot of fight training that is tough to do on one's own. You can PT and hit the bag in your basement, but you still need to spar, and it is always good to spar new people!
