Registrations are coming in from across the country for the Elzetta Low Light Tactical Training & Zombie Shoot. If you plan to take advantage of this opportunity, it is recommended that you register right away.
This is a serious tactical training event (for beginner, intermediate, and advanced shooters - specify your level during registration) capped off with a nighttime Zombie Shoot to test your skills in a fun way. We have worked hard to provide this worldclass training at a very affordable price, only $89, and enrollment is limited and filled up on a first-come/first-served basis. Don't miss out! |

Thanks! There will be classroom instruction and demonstrations, live-fire range training, and then nighttime live-fire Zombie Shoot. This will be done for all three weapon systems (Pistol, Carbine, Shotgun). Participants will be put into groups for beginner, intermediate, and advanced shooters. Plan to spend the entire day and well into the night. |

This from an AIM Instructor in answer to your question: "If
he doesn't plan on any transitions to back up guns, no sling is okay. No
1-point slings regardless. " |

I wouldn't expect much transitioning if this. can I get a better idea in the instruction requirements so I bring the correct setups/holsters/vests/? |

The trainers at the American Institute of Marksmanship are top notch. I have asked Eric Dean to address this thread directly. Eric will be providing some of the instruction personally. Some of his credentials include:
Eric Dean has over a decade of active military service. He is a Gunsite Graduate, a certified •U.S. Army Total Army Instructor, KYARNG Weaponcraft Primary Instructor, KYARNG Small-Arms Master Gunner Course Instructor, competes on the KYARNG State Marksmanship Team, has 9 years experience & service with KY DOC Corrections Emergency Response Team. He has served several years in Iraq with the U.S. Army as a Military Police Officer, is a NRA Certified Instructor, Kentucky Concealed Carry License Instructor, Kentucky Concealed Carry Instructor Trainer, and is responsible for instruction and course development for the American Institute of Marksmanship. The other AIM Instructors have similarly impressive resumes (which should be provided shortly). You will not be disappointed with the quality of instruction at this event. Elzetta has worked hard to offer this world-class training event for only $89.00 per person. Training of this caliber would generally cost several times as much. |

I wouldn't expect much transitioning if this. can I get a better idea in the instruction requirements so I bring the correct setups/holsters/vests/?[quote] Now that the instructor question has been answered, how about the answer to the question above? "Slings are an important safety tool to be used in conjunction with rifles and shotguns that may need to be released from positive control so that the user can perform other tasks such as transiting to a handgun due to a failure of your primary firearm. Other reasons may be to use radio's or something that may occupy your hands for an extended period. Properly slung long guns (and a requirement at our Ranges) should allow the long gun to hang securely to the front and the muzzle pointing downward so that the muzzle does not point at the users feet or the feet, legs etc. of those in reasonable close proximity. The 2-point and some 3-point slings can satisfy this requirement but we have yet to have seen a 1-point satisfy this. We do not allow 1-points sometimes referred to as "Wolf-Clips" due to the fact that 1-point slings cause the long gun to dangle directly at your feet and can cause obvious injury. As for load out. If you are preparing for the zombie apocalypse, bring everything you got. Our seasoned instructors will make some suggestions if need be. We will have a "gear-check" station prior to heading into "the zone". This help? If you have further questions, please feel free to email me at eric.dean@aimperfect.com " |

Per the info on the event registration website, how "accurate" is the 100 rounds per firearm?
Personally, I have no interest in firing 100 rounds out of a shotgun. On the other hand, 100 rounds out of a rifle or pistol is not even a drop in the bucket for a "serious tactical training event". Last couple of "serious classes" that I have been to round count for a rifle or pistol was a minimum of 500 rounds, and we actually shot more. It is simple to just bring more ammo, but the real question is how much actuall shooting is going to go on as a part of each training session? Honestly I have held off registering because I didn't think that it was going to be a serious training event. Looking at the detailed information posted now it looks good, but I don't see 100 rounds matching up with "serious training". Anyone care to elaborate? Thanks, M Richardson |
