Ben Stoeger emphasizes safety vetting over specific skill levels for class entry. He uses competitive shooting classifications (USPSA, IDPA) or law enforcement agency vetting as indicators of a student's ability to follow safety rules.

They emphasize that many concepts, like occlusion or specific aiming schemes, are best understood through hands-on drills rather than prolonged explanation. The conversation also touches on the value of group learning environments, the challenges of self-perception in shooting, and the effectiveness of video analysis for identifying unconscious habits. Upcoming training courses in Arizona are also announced.
