training requests

I agree with Burl. I think a "HTH defense while armed" class is a good idea. The idea that you will be able to simply pull a gun out and de-escalate the situation is foolhearty at best. I am not trying to learn martial arts entirely, but some introduction to defending your weapon is something I'd pay for.

Actually, I would love a class on weapon retention.

I was just yanking Burl's chain a bit. Actually, the limited amount of retention and counter-retention (i.e. disarming) training I've had has been some of the most valuable. All the "shooting" courses in the world won't do sh*t for you when some punk sticks a pistol in your face from arms' length and demands your money. A trainer friend of mine has a favorite saying - "sometimes the nearest gun is just a broken-armed a$$hole away."

The beauty of a lot of these techniques is that anybody can do it... my wife has been through the training (which may serve her well – she works in the public school system, where weapons can potentially be carried by anyone except the teachers and staff), and Calvin and I have great fun taking turns disarming each other using fingers, candy canes, or whatever other nearby props can stand in for a gun.

My brother just talked himself out of gunsites' remote carbine class due to cost.
I would take an ACT carbine class with him if you were to offer one.

Obijohn, it looks like the ACT website got hacked, so I can't see what all is normally available. Time to upgrade wordpress.

As far as a request, I'd like to learn to use my 870 better. The combo my wife bought me came with a 20" smoothbore slug barrel, but I've never put anything through it.

Throw in another request for shogo.

When do you expect your training to start next year? I would like to take a defensive pistol real soon.

I would like to be placed with a group to participate in the defense carbine and pistol classes please.

 

[Rotor Talker]

I would be interested in many of your classes, pistol, carbine, shotgun, survival, emergency medical.

thanks

Do you do muddy classes?

Do you do muddy classes?

Only while it's raining (or afterward).

I just realized that in that one post I have opened myself up to being asked at every shooting event with you to go and jump in the mud if it makes me feel better....

And I usually don't forget such important things, such as information I can use to tease my friends over, and over, and over . . .

 

[Gump]

I'm interested in taking defensive carbine and maybe shotgun too.

If it were possible it would be nice if classifiers could be shoot during the league shooting. Not sure how hard it is to become a USPSA club, just an idea. May also help get new member some classifications.

 

[Coach]

We can shoot them at the league each and everytime for practice. However, are you wanting them to count? We could probably do that as well and submit them with WVPPS scores on the third weekend. I will check on the cost and so forth and we will discuss it at the year end meeting and see what we can do.

 

[absrio]

I would also like to see a shotgun class as well.

 

[pierce195]

Thanks Coach

How about some subgun training this year. Would love to get the MP5 to a class.
