Just wanted to update everyone, Russell from Cav will be the main instructor for this class, I will be helping out and Ameetec will be providing pizza and refreshments for everyone. Very excited about the turnout, I know at least one more that hasnt signed up but will be there. If interested at all or any questions concerning the competitions, please come out and hang out with us. Very worst case, put a few names to faces. Class is filling up, Big hand for Cav for their continued support of our shooting sports.

Thanks again for putting this on. That was a good introduction for those of us who have never tried competetive shooting in the past.

How was the class?
If I was actually in a position where I could be doing 3 gun matches right now I would've gone. Alas, I'm po'.

.... Quite frankly? - It was excellent! ... The sponsors had printed agenda / coursework media handouts. The material was delivered in the utmost, knowledgeable and professional manner. Instruction was interactive between Russell and Scott. At any time the "students" were allowed to ask questions. Covered every aspect needed to enter the game. ... Was particularly impressed with Russell's impassioned belief regarding mindset, shooting as a martial skill and the role it plays in potentially defending you & your families life - so you should strive to get proficient at it! They also reminded us that each shooter has the "potential" to become a viable and legitimate critic for firearms and gear for our LEO and military friends. ... After the theory, the instructors narrated some DLP footage of past matches highlighting some of the aspects discussed in class. ... Facilities, pizza and pop was provided by Cavalry Arms and Ameetec. ... There is a reason I hold these companies and their employees in such high regard. I have the utmost respect for them. They will always have my support. ... Several guys headed out to the Rio Salado Range this morning for some "laboratory" follow-on. ... Gentlemen, a sincere thank you for doing this for us Arizona folks completely au gratis. |

This was one of the other topics covered. If you can't afford ammo, that might stop you from shooting, but you can still learn quite a bit from talking to and watching people. If your concern is all the gear you see people with, you don't need it. From what Russell and Scott were telling us, there are plenty of people who go out to matches with some inexpensive gear. I found this class to be extremely beneficial to me because their priorities match mine. I don't expect to win competitions or impress anyone. I expect to improve my own skills. It also sounds like a good venue to see what tactics and gear works reliably, and what only looks good in marketing and television. |

All you need for the two gun matches are a rifle and a shotgun, 2-3 magazines for your rifle, a box or two of birdshot, 5-10 slugs, and 100-150 rounds of rifle ammo, and a pocket to shove shit in.
I'm a poor bastard too, but I don't let it stop me.

I'm even willing to loan AR mag holders and bandoleers for shotgun shells, which is the perfact way to find out what works for you and what doesn't, without finding our with your own money.

+1... I'd REALLY like to go to the next class you have. I have been wanting to get into shooting matches (2 gun / 3 gun) but time/knowhow/etc has prevented it so far....
But alas! I am finally in a position where I have weekends off and a LITTLE more free time... Not Positive if I can make the Sept. 9th class (i'm taking the 1st and 2nd off for Bird season and don't know if I can get that friday off too...) If I can't make it on the 9th, I will be up for a class after that... Thanks for all you guys do for us "little people"

+1 tag.
I need to get back to a more serious level of commitment in maintaining proficiency in practical firearms use. Participating in these types of matches my be one of the best ways to do this. |

I've seen people at the Rio match that used SKS, AKs, FALs, M1As and even M1Garands!  Also, the people with tricked out M-4s do just as good/bad as the people with plain AR15A2s. You don't need a lot of high tech gear. You need a fairly accurate, reliable rife and a high capacity shotgun with ghost ring sights. Then you can figure our what you want/need in terms of gear.

The shop has a couple of Shot Guns we use for demos...if you contact Russell (Sinistalrifleman) or Shawn (Garryowen) they could have them as loaners at the next match.
