Okay, it's getting about that time to schedule some training courses for the fall. I'm trying to set something up for the end of Sept. and into Oct. I don't have any firm dates yet. As soon as I do I will post them. Here are you choices for the next couple of courses.
Dynamic Fighting Rifle course (not for beginners) Introduction to rifle (For beginners) Shotgun course (Any skill set) Later in the fall I may schedule a low-light fighting rifle course, but I'll get back to you on that one. So, what's the word? USSA-1 |

I still need beginner..... :)
something with a carbine and pistol would be nice. (especially if I could use my AK since I had to drop last class  ). the low light I will also be up for. Joe's class was a HUGE eye opener. enough even my cheap ass went and put night sights on all my pistols that didn't have them...
also not sure if you saw it but in another thread someone metioned training where a .22 AR would be allowed to save on ammo costs. not sure what your thought are on that. |

Dynamic Fighting Rifle is geared towards high speed shooting combined with all types of movement. Pistol use is integrated into the course
Intro to Rifle is the same course we did in the spring. Designed for shooters with little or no experience or those who want to brush up on the basics Shotgun is the same course we ran back in January. Starts out with the basics, but picks up speed quickly. Nightfighting course would start with the basics and concepts of using a fighting light, progressing through to the skills needed to effectively employ a rifle in a lowlight environment. Sorry, no 22's though. USSA-1 |

My vote is for "Dynamic Fighting Rifle course (not for beginners)" Quoted:
The dates will most likely be in October. Not finalized just yet. Uh-oh. Please don't schedule on opening weekend for deer season (Oct 16/17).  +1 I agree on both accts. That'd be sweet if it worked out with the instructors schedules. and/or low light rifle... And even though you didn't mention it, I'd certainly be game for a fighting pistol type class as well. |

Dynamic Fighting Rifle course (not for beginners)
Shotgun course (Any skill set) Later in the fall I may schedule a low-light fighting rifle course, but I'll get back to you on that one. I'm in for any of these three. You know I mean it. 
And just to be fair to everyone at the shotgun class I'll shoot an Auto this time.

I have been practicing the "ready.... UP!" when I can at an indoor range but meh. Hopefully I will be again tomorrow after a client site. I'm still waiting for the tactical bump firing assault class. *runs* ETA: The" (not for beginners)" part makes me want to ask a question. In the HTF's opinion (that has seen me handle a rifle) do I qualify as not a beginner? ETAA: I'll take any of the mentioned classes if I have the $ and time. |

As a matter of fact the gun handling during that class was safe. Good job by all checking chambers, checking if that was a loaded weapon at the table & to the one member who offered chamber flags for us to use during the class. 
But my only question is, have you upgraded to a mil. spec. buffer tube?

7mm Ha! Nope. I got a well made commercial one so I wouldn't have to buy new stocks as well. Cool. People have different definitions of beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Some people consider a beginner's class to be "1) this is a gun 2) here is how not to shoot yourself in the nuts 3) here is how not to shoot your friend in the nuts" etc and some people consider intermediate to be above my speed and skill level. |

I'm not sure what Erik and Tod are looking for but these are some things to consider for a self evaluation beyond am I not going to shoot some guy in the nuts.. Can you put effective hits on a target at 7, 25, 50 and 100 yards in a reasonable amount of time from standing, kneeling or prone? Do you understand mechanical offset and it's relationship to your zero at these distances and beyond? How are you at the various reloads? Do you know what the various reloads are? Do you have a sling? Do you know how to use it? Both shoulders? Transitioning to a secondary? Do you trust your weapons and gear? I'm not directing this at any one person but these are some things to at least consider I'm also not saying any of this is required, but for any dynamic or fighting class you should have a basic competence and at least consider some of these things. I post these to give you a heads up as a fighting or dynamic class builds on the foundation of a basic class. An example would be sling use: an intro of, ID of different kinds and basic use could be at a basic class. Shooting from an opposite shoulder with a sling attached or transitions may be in the next step. Again let me stress this isn't necessarily how the USSA classes go but is what I have seen at many others. |

I just didn't know what it was considered and I didn't want to get in over my head and slow things down for people. |

I would be up for all three. Not sure if I would be "eligible" for the two rifle classes or not but I'm all for a shotgun class. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile I'd be up for any or all of the above. I missed your last SG class, but the others sound great, too |

Guys,
Thanks for all the responses. I don't have any dates yet. It's more an issue of 00bullitt and I finding a weekend that works for both of us. We are looking a one weekend at then end of Sept., if that does not work out, then it will be some time around mid/late Oct. LOL!, Yes I will schedule it around opening day for my local hunters!
Looks like the Dynamic Rifle course will be up first followed relatively quickly by another course still to be decided. For the benefit of those who don't get on the HTF on a regular basis, I will post an annoucement with the sign up dates several days before I start the course roster to give everyone notice. One of the biggest issues I hear about in PM's is that there is not enough notice between the course annoucement and the signup dates. This method was recommended to me and it sounded like a good idea so I'll give it a try this time and see how it goes. Lastly, I'd like to thank all of you for recognizing the importance of training and for choosing to train with me. There are a lot of very talented trainers in the local area and I'm honored that you guys come out to work with 00bullitt and I. Thank you. USSA-1 |
