Well, the wife got me what I wanted for my 40th B-day:
This last weekend I went down to South Hill Virginia to train with former Delta Force Operator Larry Vickers:
http://www.vickerstactical.com/about/military.htm
It was hot as hell, but it was BY FAR the best firearms training I have gone through, including Blackwater.
Main points covered were shooting on the move, malfunction drills, and transition to pistol from the AK drills.
Accuracy was paramount, and Larry, whose Vickers Tactical mantra is "Speed is fine - accuracy is final", accepted nothing less than "in the black" as acceptable at all QCB distances we shot at.
And just to prove a point to the AK naysayers who say that it isn't an accuarte gun, at least 1/3 of the class shot a chest size steel plate at 200 yards....with open sights.
The highlight of the class, for me anyway was when Larry allowed us to style="font-size: 11px; font-family: tahoma,sans-serif;"shoot a WWII German Sturmgewer MP-43. It just does NOT get any cooler!
I HIGHLY reccomend a practical class such as this one for EVERYONE. Shooting at the range at paper targets DOES NOT make you ready for deploying your platform in a hostile environment.
