Guys, sorry for the short notice on the course and for not posting a pre-announcement, but I've been buried with the move to the new home and all the issues that such an endeavor creates. This is not the new SOP and future courses will have pre-annoucments prior to being posted. TIA for your understanding in this matter...USSA-1
This is the official announcement for the Level II Rifle course on Sunday, September 25, 2011, located at the Fulton County range near the airport. This course will focus on the next level of skills needed to effectively employ a Rifle in a hostile environment. Building upon the skills developed in the Level 1 Introduction to Rifle course, students will progress beyond the basic fundamentals of marksmanship with the introduction of the combative mindset and several new high performance manipulation techniques. Some of the material covered will include: Introduction to the Combative Mindset 3 Level Scan Process Threat Domination Shooting Technique Tactical & Emergency Reloads Transitions to Secondary Weapons Malfunction Immediate Action Drills Threat Failure Drills Compressed Precision Shooting Techniques Use of Cover/Concealment Use of Barricades If you have had rifle training with me on previous occasions, you are qualified for this course. If you have any doubts or concerns about your skill level, please don't hesitate to contact me and we can talk about it. You are permitted to sign up others in one posting, but you will be responsible for their conduct. If you bring them to the course and they are not able to conduct the training in a safe manner and are asked to leave the course, as the responsible party for bringing them to the training, you will be asked to accompany them also. There will be NO REFUNDS for unsafe weapons handling at this course. EQUIPMENT LIST Rifle (Course is designed around the AR weapons platform, but any of the following types of rifles are acceptable) AR series (AR-15, M-16, M-4, etc.), HK series (33, 53, 93, etc.), AK series (47,74, or the 100 series), Mini 14, M1-A (M-14 style), Sig 550 series, Robinson Arms XCR, FNH SCAR 16/17, etc. *Please contact me if you have a rifle not on this list and wish to use it for the course.

The course is limited to 18 students Directions to range Take exit #2 (Camp Creek Pkwy/ ATL Airport) off I-285. Turn away from the airport; you'll want to drive past a shopping complex with a Target store followed shortly by another complex with a BJ's Wholesale and a Lowe's. Stay on Camp Creek pkwy for approximately 3-4 miles. When you come to the intersection of CCP and Butner road, make a left turn. Drive another 1/2 mile and make a right turn on Aldredge road. Drive about 100 yards and you'll see a dirt road with a gate. Enter the complex. In another 50 yards or so you'll see a dirt road on your right that climbs up a slight incline. Take that road and it will bring you to the range. Starting time is 8:30am. Please make plans to arrive around 8am for registration and gear up time. Training day will last from 9am-5pm with 30 mins for lunch. Please plan on bringing a lunch with you. Lunch time will be limited as we have a lot of material to cover. As always, please inform me ASAP if you are unable to attend the course. I do not require deposits to hold your slot, BUT short of a catastrophic event or a death in the family, if you have requested a slot in the course I expect you to show. If you have any questions, please contact me at your convenience. See you guys on the range!

I am in.. Thinking about running my SCAR is that acceptable? Just a hunch, but I bet he's OK with it  I assume, but he didn't list it. So it was either that he forgot, or there is reason they aren't wanted.. Better to ask now, then to find out when i am walking up to the line with it ;) |

Should fall under that "etc" thing. You couldn't bring an XCR and not bring a SCAR. |

btw, did I miss a carbine fundamentals course?
Yeah, I did one in the spring. We will probably do another later in the fall, but I'm sure you're boy will keep up just fine. I am in.. Thinking about running my SCAR is that acceptable?
LOL....yeah the SCAR is quite acceptable...and I fixed the annoucement to reflect it. I have it on good authority there will be some other SCAR's at the course...

Thank you to all 74 people who private messaged me to let me know Eric is sponsored by FNH. I don't really keep up with everyones sponsorships.
Now that I know he is sponsored by them and i can score extra points by shooting my SCAR, I will in hopes that he has taken over the tradition of giving scented candles to his stand out students like Shep started ;) |

Quoted: Wish I didn't have to move my Intermediate Precision Rifle class to this day, I'd be in there shootin' with y'all. If y'all ain't taken a Carbine class from Erik and Tod, y'all are missin' out. I'd grab a spot while ya can! Isn't there also a close quarters handgun course on this day as well from Scottv? So much scheduling conflict. |

Eric, Can you put me on the wait list? Thanks, JT duuuude, you can be my +1! I signed up for two slots with the solemn assurance from my buddy that the next class he wanted to be included and now, less than 2 weeks away, I'm getting some BS from him. I already emailed Erik but if things can work out for you, you are welcome to my +1 slot... |
