    Will be a great opportunity to work on discussing skills and concepts, along with practicing professionalism without actually giving a crap. I like to give a crap, so this will be a new one.
    So practicing your management skills

    I hope you get an offer, so you can practice politely declining as well. Plus it feels good to turn down work when you don't need it.

    Ive a question & for those who know me it's probably not a stretch to imagine... is there a proper course / class / private instruction for an introduction to applied ballistics around here? I think I'm ready to try & get my sniper-nerd on & I'd like some direction.

    My learning curve has been so steep in the last year its been a bit overwhelming @ times & yet its simultaneously never enough to satiate me. I keep finding huge gaps in knowledge & not because I haven't had excellent mentorship but likely because I just couldn't remember it all or all the bits & bobs have been misfiled.

    Thank you CavSct.

    There was something similar to this in Wyoming that I was very interested in but sadly the man who taught it passed away this spring.

    Figures. The level 1 class isn't too far off & I don't think I can make arrangements in time to attend. Went & got my hopes up for not.

    Well fuck.

    I have taken other courses from Kenaz Tactical that were well done, but never the long range. They are limited on the range (max 400 yards)

    Im not sure how this will translate but that class sounds much like my previous private lessons, a cross between my usual range day & Hoser's matches. By the course description, I'm not sure there's enough new material being introduced in that class to make the investment plus time & travel. For where I think I'm @ & where I want to go it just seems a little expensive for a basic review.

    I'm not saying I wouldn't learn as I surely would... just less new (to me) material on the curriculum than Id like for the effort.
