Need to talk to my son and see if he is available. So we might be joining. I'll let you know ASAP.
Anybody have a spare RDS they could loan me - as in sitting in a box or drawer waiting for an upper to be mounted on?
I hope to have my Mk12 done by then and would like to run it. Doubt I will have my scope in by then. Not thrilled of the idea of taking my Aimpoint off my other and going through the re-zeroing process for both.
Of course it would not kill me to run the course with my BUIS.
PM inbound

Between your 10" and my SureFire brake, it is sure to be annoying on the line for bystanders.
They aren't any worse than flaming pigs on a krink.Quote:

Just a thought...you're advertising this as an entry level carbine class. Wouldn't zeroing/confirming zero and discussing the philosophies behind a 25, 36m, 50, and 100yd zero be appropriate as well as giving them a chance to learn their holdovers? Or do you expect newer shooters to learn it all from the internet? 1 hr on this at the begining of the course would turn "that guy" into a more knowledgeable and better shooter as well as help set the tone for the rest of the course, not to mention the diagnostic work on fundamentals you would be reviewing....Quote:

Just trying to offer some free advise that was passed on to me years ago. It is your class, run it at you want to. I believe it is better to turn "that guy" into a grateful customer than an outcast for being new. If you inspect gear, then inspect zero as well. Small input of time at the begining that saves time in the end.
Sticks, does this mean you will be attending?Quote:

This was a great class. "Everything you need and nothing you don't." The class focused on sights, triggers, responsibility and measureable performance. Easily the best money I've spent on shooting in the last couple of years. Kelly isn't rewriting the book on tactical training. He's compliling the book on tactical training.
Kelly in corporates proven techniques from various credible trainers and presents them in a practical, well assembled format. This is not a mini operator course. This course teaches you to get the best out of yourself and your equipment. Do yourself a favor, take the class.
Thanks to Kelly to hosting this class, and the property owner for allowing us a good place to shoot.
Good to meet some new faces, and see some old ones from previous classes.
Had a great time applying what I learned in previous classes, and picked up on some more new things to help me along. The one big improvement I saw in myself in this class over my previous 2, I have my hold over figured out now from contact to 100y, including in "unconventional" positions. Thanks Kelly! Now to work on keeping my brain engagedwhen not online, stance, sitting and kneeling.
I have a new goal, make it through one of Kelly's classes without getting yelled at.
Great class Kelly and I highly recommend any level shooter to attend. More stuff to keep from leaking out of my brain. [Awesom]
Like I said at the "end of day thoughts" huddle yesterday... "this class has ruined indoor ranges for me". No doubt about it. I came in to this weekend with a lot of time behind hunting rifles, but only a basic understanding and motionless time behind the AR platform. I thought I had an idea of what I would be weakest on, but quickly came to realize there was a lot more to work on than I could have imagined. It was absolutely horizon broadening and I can unequivocally say, the course was worth every penny of fees and ammo costs incurred. I fully intend to perform many of the drills, (especially malfunction and reload drills) on my own along with dry fire practice and re-take this course with Kelly next spring for the second time. For anyone considering signing up, all I can say is do it. You won't be disappointed.

Who's that tacticool due on the end there. Oh, that's me. Fun class Kelly, Thanks.
This looked like a lot of fun! When are you planning another one?
If you'll have me as a student for a second time, go ahead and count me in!Quote:
