Ok, i know that we still haven't cleaned up from last weekend, but should we start planning the next DE class? Lots of options; We could do a pistol class, carbine III, or a repeat of carbine I and II. (Running through it again can only increase our skills, and would let folk who mised it this time around get on board.) We could impose on Bulletcatcher's hospitality again, or get a WI crew roadtrip to Princeton together. (Could book a block of hotel rooms, have a hot tub party, not have to worry about lighting lawn chairs on fire or being molested by a mole while we sleep.) Is April too early?? Maybe carbine I and II in April at Bulletcatchers, then a WI road trip to Princeton for carbine III in July. Thoughts? |

I'm up for it(carbine 'refresher'),I'm also up for something sooner either up 'dere or at my place.I NEED to take handgun training and I'd like the armorer's class also.If there is enough interest to carpool from the SE I'm IN. I'm also interested in cold weather training,,,pistol,rifle shotgun in one weekend.It would be a good time to 'combine' some winter camping skills also.Maybe Jan.-Feb.??? I'll have a better idea of my schedule in a couple of weeks,I'm DEFINITELY interested in shooting drills out here as often as I can. BulletcatchR |
). Even winter camping is something I'd like to try.
April would be great.........I'll skip Cold Weather class............Drdoolittle_1 AKA wimp !I may try to plan a I/II carbine class for way up north....so a class III or handgun will be great. Guess I'll have to set up the Dillon for the 458 Socom so I can bring more ammo........  Cheers, Dave |
Tommy, In december(the next meeting) I'm going to ask the board at my club for the ok to do the carbine 1&2 class at the club down here in Racine. But that won't be till April at the earliest, and I still have to check with Sully about dates in April that would be open. Anyone would be more than welcome to come down and take the class obviously. We could than hit carbine 3 in june as than we'd have more people that could take it. Just an idea. I'm down for whatever. Carbine three is a definate must on my list, as well as a handgun course or three  cuz I suck with a handgun.ETA: Just read the rest of the thread, looks like a couple of us want to get classes going in our areas. What if we all do that, get the 1&2 classes set up in ourt areas and than after the classes, we all get together for the carbine 3 class at tattoo's or BulletcatcheR's. That way we have the opertunity to get more people involved in our areas too. |
Just leave the south african 223 at home this time though, I think you got enough practice with failure to extract drills 
|
So, let's hold off on carbine I and II until we find out what's brewing in PMs ares. Hopefully, a I and II will occur down that way in April, and we can look at either putting a carbine III together somewhere in June or July, or get a road trip together to do in in Princeton. In the meantime, maybe we can impose on Bulletcatcher to host a weekend shoot where we can practice what we learned, do a bit of camping and maybe do a bit of land nav and / or medical. Sound like a plan? |
I like it. Glenn R. |
Flame, here's Sullys syllibus for carbine I and II, the course we went through last weekend. It was $150 per person, which is an astoundingly good price compared to other schools. We're trying to get at least one more carbine I /II class together in the spring, as well as a carbine III class. There's also talk about doing the same type of thing with the handgunning classes. More info about last weekends class, including pics, can be found here; www.jobrelatedstuff.com/forums/topic.html?b=8&f=21&t=186659 The website for the Defensive Edge is at the bottom of Sully's quote. I've taken handgin I and now carbine I and II, and found it all to be supurb training, as well as a lot of fun.

I'm fairly new to ar15.com due to a recently purcahsed gun. These courses look like something I would be interested in. If/when these get scheduled I assume someone will post it up in the forum, is that correct? I'm in Racine, so something in the SE would be best for me. |
Yes something will be posted. |

Saw yer car up at shooters Sat. I stopped in to get some .223 to feed the C-mag. I was gunna see if you were out on the range but Iwas running low on time. Batch, I'm hoping the club. ETA: Will know more at dec. board meeting. |
Yah I'll send them later today or tomarrow. I don't have all of them though. There are a bunch I can't get off the memory card still. |

SEWSA is a lot of fun! MisterPX, Batch114 and myself shoot most of the matches. It's a very friendly group of people, a much more relaxed atmosphere than a IDPA or IPSIC match. Bring a gun, a waistband holster, and a couple of mags (I use 5 mags total, but I "spray-n-pray" when I shoot). I think we wind up shooting about 80 to 100 rounds - and that is a high estimate. I've seen all types of guns there, I shoot a stock 92FS, Batch114 shoots a H&K Tactical, I *think* MisterPX uses a 1911, some Glocks, a CZ, plus a few others. The next match is on Sat. Nov. 13. I don't know the start time though. I think it is at 6:00 PM. Price is $15 now. Think about going - you already know a few people there! Av. |

They are held at Shooters in Racine. No website, and shooting is a cross between IDPA and IPSIC. Put two in targets A - C, don't shoot the hostage, etc. No goofy "mag change with retention" rules - shoot a mag dry, drop it, and reload. No jackets required - no hats required - there are guys there with nice "race gun" 1911's with speed holsters, and there are people like me with a stock 92FS, a Fobus paddle holster, and mags stuck in my pockets since I can't afford more than one mag holder. They have different classes - but I have no idea what they are. I know I'm stock service pistol with my 92FS. Like I said - it's a lot more laid back than an IPSIC or IDPA shoot. Av. |
I sent an IM to Sully to see what would work best for him and his guys. just waiting to hear back. We'll see what comes up. It won't be durring the week though if thatwould help. |
|
I dunno man, you hurt my feelings pretty bad when you didn't respond to my IM. I'm still talking to my therapist about it. How's 75 bucks sound? |
They usually start sign-in/setup/saftey breifing at 6, and we have shot as late as midnight. There are two stages, so if you have to leave early, you get a chance to shoot at least once. Av. |

Ok guys, just a quick update for you eventhough it's not much. As far as dates for this class go, I won't be able to find out till the Dec. 5th board meeting at my club, by than all the regular events for the club are suposed to be scheduled and I'll be able to get the available dates. I also have an IM in to Sully to let him know too and to find out what works best for him, I know he said he had something going on in the time frame we wanted but wasn't sure of the dates yet. Once I hear back from Sully and after the meeting on Dec. 5th I'll update again. I know it's not much but thats it for now. Just wanted to let you guys know whats going on to this point. |
