As far as the grip discussion here. I agree with the thumbs fwd grip, BUT to be fair I seem to remember a guy that shot with the "tea cup" grip winning (or the top 5?) the "top shot" competition. He was given all sorts of crap about it, but he was an excellent shot. ETA: "the viking"? I guess he read the "enemies" books too. lol A TV show huh? Well that settles it. yes, have you heard of TV? Reality TV shows are largely BS. That includes Top Shot. Well it sounds like you and vespid should sign up and make some easy money then. |

Top Shot is not a measurement of pistol shooting skill. USPSA and IPSC are.

So, John Wayne, where do you instruct at? I'm not trying to be a smartass, I just want to look and see if you teach a class I would be interested in. There is a class that is hosted in VA that I have been wanting to take for a while.
Thanks, Andy |

If you're looking for training in Virginia, there's an abundance. FPF Training does a lot in Culpepper that's worthwhile...I just took a class with Tom Givens there a couple of weeks ago. Ernie Langdon is going to be in Culpepper in September and he always puts on a good class. |

http://muzzlefront.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/wyman-155x300.jpg Jason “The Viking” Wyman Daily Philosophy: “My new life begins in 24 hours and it’s going to be amazing…Just watch”
With 4 years as a medic in the military, Jason served with a ground unit in Iraq and later transferred to an aviation unit. He’s worked with all types of ground forces from around the globe until his return home in 2007. After his military service, Jason then attended college and was the first MA in Maine General history to go from a clinical setting to and operating room, providing continuance of care from point of injury to long term follow up. When he is not instructing he provides services for the Department of Veterans Affairs and is a contracted medic to a local National Guard unit. Jason has dedicated his life to training and leading others who wish to follow. His stated goal has been to break into the tactical industry as an instructor and leave his personal mark on the industry. He is Realty Based Training certified through USKMA and is working toward several additional certifications including his TCCC to train contractors aspiring to go abroad. At least with his medical background he can stay with them from the range to the ER then OR then ICU. Radical Larry, all grown up. |

Why would anyone even go to these people for training? We're in the salad days of good instructors! Jim Smith, Kyle Lamb, Larry Vickers, Paul Howe, Pat MacNamara...there, I just listed 5 that were all former CAG! There are plenty more out there that are just as qualified and had their curriculum vetted, but people still go to places like this with their asshattery.

I can go but I have to provide the ammo. About $400 worth of ammo to shoot this class. I looked up one of their videos. Some kind of Israeli fighting stuff that looked down right stupid.
