Every time I think of working with LR1955 I am reminded of the old Bob Newhart skit, "Stop It" (look it up on YouTube, one of the funniest things on there!).
He has developed a "cut it to the bare bones" philosophy of shooting that is incredibly effective for people who are new shooters or long timers. I've watched him take people who had never shot past 100 yards, including my two sons, and have them regularly hitting steel at 700 yards in less than 4 hours of instruction.
Want to talk about proper breathing technique while shooting? His response is, "you learned how to breathe a long time before you learned how to shoot, the two are not mutually exclusive!" But he then will point out that pulling the trigger at the time of least movement during your breathing process, in the respiratory pause, will bring the best accuracy effect.
There simply is no BS when learning from him, and he accomplishes more in a shorter time by building confidence in the shooter than any precision teacher I have seen. When I was just starting 10 years ago, I had grave concerns that I would ever shoot at the level of my equipment. He pointed out that I never would, if that was my attitude. He told me that equipment was limited, it could never improve on its own, but that my potential was not limited by anything but my own thoughts and body. Within a year I was shooting in F class matches. I simply learn more being around him and the other teachers he has at Boomershoot every year than anything else I have ever done.
If you can get to Boomershoot and take the 2 day Precision Rifle course it will be the cheapest class you have ever had available to get to where you are going.

You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
