The pistol, and 100 yard range is right next to the shoot house. Very convenient. The training will go fast. Even if you run out of ammo, your training is not done. You still need to know how to pick ANY firearm and operate it naturally. Heck, we may even start in the early afternoon and shoot into the early night for nighttime scenarios. It seems like most of you live a long ways from here so starting after noon may not be such a bad idea. Just give me some feedback.
Long Live the Republic!

Now, if you have 500 or more rounds...by all means, bring them. You will be able to shoot as many as you can afford. Now, if you have some type of physical limitation, the tactics will be "prescribed" to you, I don't want any injuries. If your 13-17 year old child can do the heavy tactical stuff with your permission, I would suggest maybe some knee pads, elbow pads, and a biking helmet. They're gonna be rolling around during tactical evasion scenarios. If you do not want to get dirty, no problem. I've even trained folks in wheel chairs. Everyone is welcome. The training is fast paced. Your heart rate will climb to achieve a stressed scenario. You WILL learn your limits. BRING GALLON JUGS OF WATER!Michigander wrote:O.K. Great questions! Now, hold on to you draws! My prior experience with the youngsters has always been the same as with the adults. They will run and gun just like the rest of us. They NEED to be able to pick up any firearm and deploy it as if it was second nature. This is exactly why Israel is so strong. Such a small dot on the map, yet every able bodied citizen can grab the gun from a dead soldier and continue the fight. I do not sugar coat anything. Political correctness gets people killed...like in Ft. Hood! I teach in a way that assimilates both the pro and novice alike. After a short demonstration, the pistol savvy will shoot first. The novices will ACCOMPANY during the tactical maneuver. By the time it is their turn, they have been Baptisted into the tactical environment and nature takes over. Do not worry about getting dirty. I'll send you home smelling like a pig. Your gun will jam...I guarantee it. In fact, I'll make a Glock jam almost every shot. But you gotta show up to see it! Your first exercise will be shooting 100 yards with your sidearm. You heard me right! It's the first thing we taught Hostage Rescue to do before any training could occur. I'll explain why when you show up.Sounds like a hell of a lot of fun. I'd like to go, and I could probably swing it some time in the winter or Spring. Car pooling with others from the SE region would be a good idea too if a date could be set way ahead of time.
I do have one question. What will you cover? There are so many things that the class could touch on, and realistically so little time in a single day, and so few rounds with 100-250 ish.
The other concern of mine is that a really advanced class would end up leaving beginners in the dust, and as was the case witha regularCPL class, a watered down class is a waste of time for someone who knows which way bullets fly. Having a class that 13-17 year olds could participate in that the gun savvy folks here would get a lot out of sounds like a particularly hard to swing happy medium.
So please letus know what specifically your program covers.
