what sort of skill level would one recommend for taking this course?
being comfortable with handguns and rifles? or very comfortable? i only ask as my fiancee is a good shot, but has only been to the range 4-6 times in the past year and a half. i would not want her to hold up the class, as she probably would have the least amount of trigger time of all who attend... that being said she is damn good at obeying every firearm safety rule. |

She would fit in fine with the class. You do not have to be an high master shooter to attend this course. As long as you are safe in your weapons handling, able to follow directions, open minded and willing to learn then you will fit in fine. We have a lot of couples, parents with kids, friends, etc take this course together, as if something should ever occur then they will have trained together and know how to work together.

How many people showed up? We had a great team of people. Great weather for being able to do the things at a decent pace without any dehydrating from heat. We will post an AAR in a few days. All who attended were requested not to post specifics on the internet as to the contents of this course, as we do not want bad people to learn things that they don't need to know. If people want to know the specifics of this course, then I would suggest attending one like the course this coming weekend in Minnesota. CY6 Greg Sullivan "Sully" SLR15 Rifles TheDefensiveEdge.com |
