I am getting ready to purchase my first AR, and want to have the proper training so I can use it effectively.
I have years of IDPA under my belt and after finding arfcom have decided it is finally time. I have fired AR's a time or two but never owned one.
I want to find some training that is solid from the ground up, cleaning, assembling, maintenance, proper iron sight usage. I want a thorough in depth class that I can use to build on in the future with more advanced classes.
I work too much to drive outside the valley for classes at least for now, so I need a great instructor here in the metro valley area.
Any suggestions?
Additionally any suggestions on dealers or shops for the first AR purchase would be appreciated. After months of lurking and reading here, I was considering based on the advice I have seen, simply finding a good deal on a 6920 with iron sights.
I have seen folks say that is a solid rifle to get, then learn the platform and as you learn you will decide what things you like and don't like about the differing choices you can make with the ultimate tinker toy.
