SRM Class

[Tora]

There has been interest in doing a more advanced shooting class. Shooting on the move, and shooting in teams of two, so if there are enough people, I will put on a SRM class.

Short-range marksmanship training provides the individual with the ability to quickly and effectively engage targets at ranges less than 50 meters. A person’s ability to successfully identify, discriminate, and engage targets during short-range combat is essential for survival. You shouldn’t attend this class unless you have had a beginners class. It doesn’t have be the class that I run. We will only be quickly going over malfunction drills and confirming your zero, before getting into the fun stuff.

I would like to do this class on the 7th of June, before it gets to hot out. So this is what I have at this point.

Equipment Needed;
-1 AR-15 - This is a short-range marksmanship class centered around the AR-15 rifle.
-1 Pistol - Any working pistol will do.
-Tactical gear - For this class you will need tactical gear to hold your magazines, pistol and other gear. YOU MUST have a sling on your AR-15. Any kind of tactical gear that you like is fine. If you don’t have any, PM me and I may have some you can use for the class.
-Clothing - In this class you will be exposed to hot flying brass, dirt, and what ever the weather can through at us. Therefore there is a dress code. The dress code will be; long pants, shoes (no sandals or open toes), long sleeve shirt, and a hat ( baseball cap is fine). Other things that you may want are; knee and elbow pads, and tactical shooting gloves. Think of what a soldier looks like, you will be doing the same kind of shooting they do. I don’t care if you wear camouflage or not.
-Pistol magazines - You should ensure that your magazines are working. You need enough to fill out your tactical gear.
-AR-15 Magazines - You should ensure that your magazines are working. If you don’t have enough magazines, let me know, and you can use some of mine. You need enough to fill out your tactical gear.
-Ammunition - 800 rounds for the rifle, and 100 rounds for the pistol. You can run any ammo you want. It can be cheapest or hand loads, it does not matter. If it gives you trouble then you will get a lot of training clearing stoppages.
-Earplugs - NO EAR MUFFS! Some ear muffs will not seal right when using an AR15.
-Eye Protection - Again, you will be exposed to hot flying brass.
-Targets - You will need to bring three IPSC type targets, and if you have them, stands for them.
-Black Sharpie pen
-Water
-Lunch
-Optics (Optional, ON SCOPES.)
-Cleaning kit (Optional)


Start Time: 0900 Time will be very important for this class.

For anyone considering, i can vouch Tim is a great instructor and knows his stuff. We all had a great time last Saturday and learned a lot from him. I'm still recovering from my sunburn though!

I can't confirm if i'm in yet for the 7th. That is the week before i go out of town. The timing is good, but we'll see if funds permit me to shoot that many rounds. If i can't make it in June i'm definitely in for the next round. I'll keep my eye on this thread as the date approaches and will definitely confirm if i'm gonna show. I know this past week you were expecting 10+ and we got 4.

Thanks for doing these classes, it is much appreciated.

but we'll see if funds permit me to shoot that many rounds.

I could cut it down to 500 rounds if 800 is to high. I know the money is tight for me right now :-(

That would certainly help, however i don't want to affect the course outline.

We'll see how things look come June. I have a feeling i'll be there. Maybe i can just sit out portions of a few drills just to save some ammo. This sounds like a perfect class to get some quality trigger time behind my Aimpoint!

You need to reload young man....I have to get busy and crank out about 1000 rnds before then or shoot that evil Wolf.

[Mudbug]

Oh yeah you can count us in for this, just in case that was not obvious.

Thanks again Tora....

Yeah, i'm hoping I can get together with you so you can show me what reloading is all about. I'm also in an apartment right now, so space is at a premium. If i was single that would be one thing, but convincing the lady a reloading setup in the living room is a "good financial idea" is a whole other story! For now it's evil Wolf for me. I'm 1000 rounds deep without a single malf, so might as well keep shooting it

Like i said, good chance i'll be there. I might not shoot as many rounds as the others though.

Oh, and i figured Darla was going to end up with an evil black rifle after Saturday...lol

You know what you're getting?

I didn't do a round count per drill like I did for the Begnnier class, so it shouldn't.

Maybe i can just sit out portions of a few drills just to save some ammo. This sounds like a perfect class to get some quality trigger time behind my Aimpoint!

That would work also. I'll do a around count and I may just change it.

I'm definitely up for this and will be there on June 7th.

[Sucka]

Did you order your new stock Al?

I wonder if Darla will have her own AR by June
