Chris, perhaps you can have a link on your website where anyone interested in any future class you offer can sign up for an alert when you try to schedule one as people might not hit "Carolinas" here that often and might miss your scheduling of a class. Walsh If you follow this link and scroll to the bottom of the page you will see a place that will allow you to register for email updates from us. If you do subscribe to our updates, please add [email protected] and [email protected] to your list of acceptable emailers so our emails dont get dumped into your spam folder. On the shotgun note, we have had a great increase recently in people asking for this course. If you are interested, feel free to post here as well as email us asking for the course. We are tentively looking at holding in the 1st quarter of 2010 and it will probably be held in Carthage, NC unless someone can locate a useable range that works out better for everyone. As always; if you have any questions about this course or anything else we offer; feel free to ask away. If you dont want to post it here, email me at [email protected]. |

I'm in!
I'll also sign up for a pistol II class if you guys hold another one of those this year. Can't afford the ammo for another rifle class.

I am interested, with my wife interested in taking this class as well. That round count is very reasonable, affordable and most importantly, available locally...
........Especially if I can finish my thunderstick project, just need to finish with ordering a couple parts.

For those who know some of the "code" used in the classes....that wink JUUUUST might have you a little worried...LOL 
Walsh P.S. The hotel was $60 and I'd say AAA with plenty to eat in the morning if it's going to be held at that range. |

Hey now, that was a quality establishment, and those girls were very friendly, if a little underdressed for the weather. Their male friend also drove a very cool car! |

We will likely be putting up something for sale to help cover the costs of dual home thundersticks (hers being NIB)––-we both need the training as I am out of town more often for work when I am in fact working

I'm interested in the shotgun class but I really need training in the use of my AR.
I figure a handgun course would be the most useful though, as it's pretty much always around me.

After 100 rounds of birdshot, my shoulder feels like Jello.
I'd like to do that course, but the round count is a bit high and I don't know if my pansy ass can take it. Tell me MOAR about a handgun/rifle/shotgun class. |

I don't own one but I've heard they are very good. I just have a regular 12 gauge 870 with that limbsaver pad. Even 1oz slugs don't phase me but that may be due to the youth.

I don't own one but I've heard they are very good. I have a Knoxx stock and it clearly decreases recoil. Easy to install too. I think I could fire many hundred of rounds of birsdshot with no problem. Walsh |

We cover a method of controling recoil that should limit how bad your shoulder feels at the end of the day. Tell me MOAR about a handgun/rifle/shotgun class.
We dont have a single course that covers all three topics. If we did something like that it would have to be 3 days long with each day dedicated to a certain weapon system. It would probably run handgun/shotgun/rifle. In this course, like our one day rifle course, we wont be doing any pistol work either, so we'll be able to focus entirely on the shotgun and how best to use it. |

What would be better for class, an 870 or a benelli M1? Both?

What would be better for class, an 870 or a benelli M1? Both? On a related note, what's best for the carbine course? 1. The AR that I don't really know how to shoot & have barely enough ammo for. 2. The SAR1/AK clone that I have plenty of ammo for. There's currently no optics on either but the AK has a red laser. |

The one day course had us burn close to 500 rounds. It was well worth it. It might be something I do every year.

On the other hand is about 3,000 rounds of 7.62x39mm. I was told that open sights would be fine (which they were) and to bring to the class what I would bring to the fight. For the AR course I bought a quick attach belt that accepts modular items such as magazine pouches. Here's what I was able to shoot later in the day from 15 yds using sights and not any sighting system as we were given commands from low ready to fire. Some were single shots and some were combinations such as two to the chest and one to the head. I have six rounds that missed left in the door frame. When I take the 2 day class I'll likely have an Aimpoint, but I'm glad I was forced to work the gun as I did and as you can see from the photos, I had to tell my wife it will be over quickly, but she might have to take one (or two) rounds for the team! [8D 
I would bring to the carbine class what your choice of weapon to grab if things go bump in the night (Paul and Steve told me that in an e-mail prior to the class) and consider the ammo to be the cost of learning how to save your life. This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no foolin' around

Funny thing is, as good as that target looks, the DCNC guys are constantly pushing you to be better. Chris might say that 5 or so of those hits are acceptable!! |

Exactly Right!....and since there are some "code words" we can't reveal online as to what actions to take, at least we didn't hear "Keyser Sose"...that would be where you shoot the woman right away to get that problem taken care of...LOL
Maybe we can incorporate "Keyser Sose" next time? It could be for guys in a bad marriage as it's going to be their only chance.
DISCLAIMER: I'm kidding! Walsh P.S. My brother is on his third wife and lost two houses in divorces. I have a strong feeling he'd have gone Keyser Sose if he could have. |

I don't have any fancy pouches. I've got a jean jack with pockets inside for 4 AR mags if that would work.

Pretty good. I hope your spouse is left handed.
I can't afford the Aimpoint right now but I do plan to get an optic eventually. I would bring to the carbine class what your choice of weapon to grab if things go bump in the night (Paul and Steve told me that in an e-mail prior to the class) and consider the ammo to be the cost of learning how to save your life. This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no foolin' around
That would be the 870. I'll probably bring the AR. I think it would be a great rifle to have if I could just learn how to use it.

For our carbine class your back pocket or a jacket will work fine. We've had quite a few people do our courses with iron sighted carbines (AR and AK) and they've done well. Optics certainly aren't needed
If you want to stretch your ammo dollar, shoot a portion of the course with normal ammo then switch to a 22 conversion kit. |
