RIP, James. The man was a continual student of his craft. Your legacy lives on. As to Jedi, having trained with him, this video portrays him quite well. Great instructor, always explaining the why, and always demoing what he teaches. If you can train with him, do so!!!

I loved James even if I didn't agree with him on some things. He was putting out content with real substance for free. I always looked forward to any of his videos. Hard to believe he is gone.

[@zackrowe87]

Took a 2 day class from Scott. Great guy and very knowledgeable. I admire how you have been teaching for 25 years...? (I think) and you're still a student. Not one time did you act like what he was telling you was bullshit. I wouldn't know any better but you would after teaching for so long and you still practiced and did the drills the way he wanted you to. Glad to give you money every month.

[@TacticalResponseCrew]

Thanks man!

[@NHlocal]

I didn't take one of Scott's classes..... I took two. I'll be honest, I couldn't afford either one but, the benefits I received far outweighed the investment. He truly is a great teacher. Drinking from a firehose for 2 days is an understatement. The amount of useful, valuable, applicable information and technique he shares was the best I've ever experienced. If I am able to get into another one of his classes I will. Thanks for sharing your experience James and keep yourself safe! 😎👍❤️🇺🇸 Randy

A lot of great pistol basics in this video. Even if you don't have a red dot on your pistol, there are golden nuggets in here for everyone.

[@zaynemikita6897]

Really appreciate James taking a class, James was apprehensive about the dot and I really hate it when dudes post bad stuff on content they have no training on and James did the exact opposite of this. He took a class like myself and many others have and literally learned more in two days then years of training.

[@TacticalResponseCrew]

I had training with the dot before I made those videos. As of today my mind has not changed.

[@gscop1683]

A pleasure to have found you! Im retired LE after 4 decades and a LE firearms instructor since 1993 and have maintained my POST certification. Having aging eyes I am experimenting with pistol mounted red dots. Currently only pistol I have with one is the Sig P365 xlc. I learned more watching 2 of your abbreviated videos than I ever thought possible.....including your grip and reasoning behind it! Thank You !

Awesome video ---- I have taken multiple classes together 'with' Yeager, he is always a good student trying to get most he can from the instructor! Even changing out pistols to make sure he gets what is being taught! - This should be a lesson to some of the KZbin Commandos that want to always tell the instructor your way of doing it is better! EVERYONE is your teacher! - Thanks James

[@TacticalResponseCrew]

Looking forward to our next class.

[@GearPinch]

Thank you for posting this. You are a rarity as an instructor with decades of experience and still have the humility to be a student in someone else's class. Much Respect. The first pistol course I ever took was Fighting Pistol and I still think it's one of the best 2-day firearms courses a person could take. The most recent course(s) was Scott's Appendix Carry class followed by his Red Dot class when he came to California. Even though your methodologies differ, you've both created strong programs based on experience, logic, and strong teaching principles. It's been a pleasure learning from both of ya'll. Looking forward to take further classes in the future.

[@pointman73]

Where I disagree is when Scott says that if you can earn his master patch that you need to teach. Ability to shoot doesn't imply ability to teach. Teaching is a skill as well. Most "firearm instructors" haven't earned the title with having a methods of instructor course beforehand or had a simple class like NRA civilian instructor courses. I do enjoy his style and methodology and will be taking one of his classes soon.
