Learning Objectives

The actual content of the course may vary slightly due to range restrictions and also to better accommodate the skill sets of the shooters


What to Expect
A three day class on how to fight with the carbine. This is not shooting polka dots, but is a condensed version of what we are using today. The class is moderately physical.
Attendees must be active police officers; Active Duty Military; or possess a valid pistol license from any state. A Certificate of Good Conduct (no criminal record) or equivalent from your local Law Enforcement Agency will suffice.
Live fire exercises are inherently dangerous. Safety violations will be dealt with harshly. We cannot afford to have an unsafe shooter in a class.
I reserve the right to refuse admission to the class for any reason. I reserve the right to remove anyone from the class for any reason. Questions??


What to Bring
A good attitude!
• A serviceable 5.56mm Carbine. What you bring is not as important as the fact that it works. Having a spare extractor/ spring is not a bad idea. Bring the lube of your choice. But bring lube.
• 1300 Rounds of serviceable carbine ammunition; 250 rounds pistol ammunition.
• The amount of ammunition recommended is an average. The actual number of rounds fired may be more or less depending on overall skill level of the class, weather and range issues.
• A minimum of 3 serviceable magazines for the carbine. More are obviously better- the less jamming of magazines you do during the day, the more time you learn how to fight.
• The carbine needs a sling. A tac sling works better, but any sling will do.
• A means to carry at least two carbine magazines on your person.
• If you have a red dot sight, bring spare batteries.
• A serviceable pistol, with three serviceable magazines.
• A holster and magazine pouch.
• Eye and earpro, as well as a baseball type hat.
• Water. A CamelBak is ideal, but be prepared to hydrate.
• Bring food. Bring munchies as well as lickies and chewies. If you are not physically at your best, you will not be able to function safely and efficiently.
• Knee and elbow pads.
• Pen/ pencil.

IMPORTANT INFO, EVERYONE PLEASE READ!!!!!!

-Range Fee's (non-members) / Membership Cards (PWSA members)


MEMBERS of the Pueblo West Sportsman Association:

Please bring your PWSA MEMBERSHIP CARD with you to class. I will have a class roster that everyone will have to sign in on. Due to prior problems I am required to see your NEW / CURRENT PWSA membership card or collect a $25 per day of training range fee from you. If you don't have your PWSA membership card on the first day of class you will be requred to pay the range fee. NO EXCEPTIONS

NON-MEMBERS of the PWSA:

If you are not a member of the Pueblo West Sportsman Association range, I have to collect a $25 PER DAY OF TRAINING (2 days = $50, 3 days = $75, etc) RANGE FEE from you on the first day of class. If you have paid for the class vai credit card, the range fee was not charged to your card.

I have the responsibility of collecting the $25 per *day of training* range fee that I have to give directly to the President and Board of Members of the Pueblo West Sportsman Association.

The range fee will be collected (in full) at the beginning of class during student sign in. I will only be accepting PERSONAL CHECKS and MONEY ORDERS made out to the Pueblo West Sportsman Association for the range fee. (CASH AND CREDIT CARDS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AS PAYMENT FOR THE RANGE FEE)


-ACCESS TO THE RANGE

Non-Members of the PWSA please gather at the front gate (in a group) and wait for a PWSA member that is attending the class to let you into the range. DO NOT TRY TO FOLLOW OTHER PWSA MEMBERS THAT ARE NOT PART OF THE CLASS INTO THE RANGE!!! Once inside the gate take the road to the right and go directly to Range #2 (second range from the right). Please do not go to the other ranges un-escorted, PWSA has a strict policy that all non-members must be escorted by a member at all times.

Remember this is a private range that is kind enough to let us use their facilities for this class. Please respect other members of the range, remember we are guests of the PWSA (if there is a problem please let me know so I can get the problem resolved). The only way I can keep hosting courses at the PWSA is if we have a good working relationship with the membership / board of the range.

PWSA MEMBERS: Please let students in the front gate and direct them to range #2. If someone would please man the front gate until all our students are in (as we have done it in the past) it would be greatly appriciated.



-LUNCH / START TIME

Please bring your lunch both days, we will break for lunch, but there will not be enough time to leave the range to go an get lunch at a fast food resturant.

We will start class at 8am on all days of training unless otherwise noted, please be on time.

We will have to pick up all trash and brass at the end of each day of shooting.

Full auto firining is *not* permitted at the range

Tracers and armor piercing ammo is *not* permitted at the range



Thanks for your help,
Jeff

Jeff, could you elaborate on this. Do you mean a CCW from any state when you say pistol license?
I am retired Military and hold a CO CCW is that acceptable?

I will have to see what the money situation is like after xmas, but would like to get in this class

Mr. Will,



Some states do not allow CCW's and others do. Some states (like N.Y.) require that you get a pistol permit in order to purchase / own a pistol (simular process to getting a CCW). It is my understanding that either a CCW or pistol permit will do.

The info in the post you quoted is directly from Pat Rogers. This is the first time I have hosted for Pat, so I'm still learning the ropes myself. Feel free to contact Pat Rogers for further varification (in reference to the CCW).

Just some food for thought....If you are considering taking a training class in 2007, you may want to start getting ammo NOW!!!

Many ammo manufacturers are back logged 6+ months on ammo shipments.
