Hey, has anybody seen this? Looks like tactical training is now available here.

Hmmm.... those guys look familiar

Controlled Chaos arms is owned by Septic if I am not mistaken.
I am sure it will be quality training
The instructors seem well qualified..

it is.

it will be.

they are... ;)

Yes this training will be ongoing with new classes being introduced over time. Classes will be kept small(around 6 students per instructor). The schedule is still being worked out, but should be available shortly.

Awesome. I knew this was coming I was just waiting on a price and its very reasonable. I am in.

If someone has prior training that they believe qualifies them to skip the basic class, I'm definately willing to discuss it on a case-by-case basis. We just don't want an under-trained individual holding up people that are ready to move ahead. As you can see on the course descriptions, I'm willing to move the class on to new material as soon as the class as a whole is ready. It will benefit everyone in the class to be on the same page

Hopefully Michael and Rick don't mind.......understanding the high cost of ammunition and availability issues that plague us all right now there are just some times when you need to train with the real deal equipment you are going to use as a self defense tool.
I guess what I am getting at is that this is one of those times.
Rim fire rifles and pistols are great training aids for working on skills that you have already learned and will keep you sharp, but when learning skills for the first time you need the actual equipment.

Hope this helps.

septic and romper are both correct. While I agree that .22's can be used in training to supplement a persons go-to weapons to work on certain skills or work through specific problems, I don't think that they should be used for "high-speed" training. We train how we fight and fight how we train. I doubt that most people will go to a .22 in a self-defense situation, unless it is the absolute last resort. I've seen plenty of people who can shoot very well with .22's, but when you throw in the extra weight and recoil of a larger caliber, they start to forget the fundamentals. Some of the techniques we are going to teach (recoil management, rapid fire, multiple targets) would also be much easier with a .22. Also, unless your .22 training weapon is setup identical to your regular pistol/carbine, you will hamper your training in the area of consistency and muscle memory. Ultimately, the student would be the one being short-changed by using a .22 in place of the weapons that they would normally employ. The skills that we will be teaching are skills that you will be able to practice on your own after you leave the class. If at that point you feel that you get just as much benefit from using a .22, then that is something you can implement in you training regimen, but I caution you to consider the issues that have been addressed here and understand the pros vs cons of doing so. Remember that practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect. IMHO

Never any harm in asking. I just thought an explanation was in order.

damn, I didn't realise I forgot the 'not' cheap part. Thanks for the correction

I do think the price is pretty low but I do think it makes it alot easier to afford and get started. I'll look at attending one of these this summer.

Yes, we offer a Basic Pistol Operation Class(details are on the website). I think it is an amazing value, as we are teaching in our basic class what others teach in "advanced" classes.

Also being of the Scandinavian persuasion, I have to hold back on the "diversionary lutefisk belching", as I believe it would scare most folks to much.....now kumla ball tossing, or Norsky Kringla throwing pastries will probably have to do.
