I wish that this was an advanced class.
Also, they're going to light that range on fucking fire if it's as dry as it was last year. |

I was hoping they would do a carbine 2 or 3... maybe next year if this is successful. I'm not sure what their range looks like. You never know they could start a fire.. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: That dude shooting the M855 into the steel at the TNVC night vision class made me realize how many sparks are generated. It showed how important it is to not shoot M855 in fire conditions. I've driven out there once. But hey, if it burns, prevailing winds will blow it away from me.

More like twins. Specifically, the Twins starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito.

Quote HistoryQuoted: $400 + Ammo? “You wasted $150,000 on an education you coulda got for $1.50 in late fees at the public library.” 400$ / day is about the going rate. Give or take a bit. You got all that oil money you need to burn anyway. |

Has anyone decided to participate? I looked at the website and didn't mention whether the ammo had to be factory load or if the ammo could be reloads/bulk practice type.
With all the razzing here, as a civilian that has no military experience, I'm not sure if I'd feel comfortable making a fool of myself if I made a mistake. Everyone needs to start somewhere, so I guess it comes with the territory |

Everyone needs to start somewhere, so I guess it comes with the territory I have a buddy who is looking to attend. It would be a great beginners class so don't feel uncomfortable. Practice the basics before going. Loading, shooting, safety, and you will be fine. |

Everyone needs to start somewhere, so I guess it comes with the territory I recommend running factory ammo at the course--it is your time, the other students time, and your instructors time, for training. Run the best ammo you have for that kind of shooting. Use your reloads when you are home practicing and it is on your time. It should be just fine for a starter course. Like you said, everyone has to start somewhere. Once you get into the class and get your groove on, it is loads of fun and you will want to take more. |

I have been in a few classes where guys ran reloads and they had issues. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I get the reasoning, but I couldn't find a list of acceptable manufacturers they would authorize. There are some fair deals for factory ammo FMJ, be it 9mm or .45acp or .40sw.....anyone know? I'm still waiting for contact response Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Good point about the factory ammo.
