Gents,
Normally I would post this in the training section, but I know many of you don't go to the training section.
I have Larry Vickers coming to Pueblo West next month for a 2 day pistol, 1 day rifle / carbine class. You can take just the pistol, or just the rifle, or both classes.
If you don't know who Larry Vickers is, Larry is a former Delta Forces Operator and was recently interviewed on the History Channel's "Comat Zone" show about his involvement in the rescue of Kurt Muse in Panama in 1989.
Larry Vickers is also a well known pistolsmith (1911) and most of his pistols go for $5,000+ and have a several year wait. Larry is also one of the founding members of I.D.P.A. Larry's Bio can be seen here: http://www.vickerstactical.com/about.htm. Class announcement listed below (and don't let the word "basic" change your mindset about this class. I have talked to former Gunsite instructors who have taken this class and learned a lot).
