    Here are my thoughts on this, which generally aren't worth crap.

    As an instructor new to a new school/company, I would think as part of the on-boarding process, it would make sense for the new instructor to attend as a student to audit the course, understand the curriculum, etc.

    As an existing instructor, continuous training and improvement should be something that is pursued, and I value instructors that do this. There's always something to learn. In one of the past Magpul courses I took, there was an instructor from another school attending.

    Heh... Any discounts for TSJC gunsmithing students? We're poor.

    Good luck with this, this would be an amazing experience, people should be jumping all over this chance.

    FWIW, I took this class down in Texas a few months ago. Steve Fisher (new lead instructor) can flat teach. He was in the unenviable position of teaching a basic class that had a collection of pretty hard shooters in it.

    I know myself and the guys I was down there hanging out with started stealing teaching methodologies about 10 min into the class and didn't stop until the cars were loaded and we were on our way home.

    I think the class is over priced by about $200 to be competitive, but anyone who attends will not be disappointed with Steve's instruction.

    And just FYI, average round count in TX was between 1200 and 1300 rounds. No one got anywhere near 2k.

    I'll check, but I'm pretty sure there won't be any last minute deals. With just 1 or 2 spots left, and since they're HQ'd in Colorado, they might offer these to their employees. I've runs some classes with them in the past where employees have attended.

    For those registered and attending:


    • Class starts at 8 a.m. Please be on time and allow enough time to get to the range. When you drive into the range on Friday, meet at the clubhouse.
    • Directions to the range can be found here: http://www.riversedgeoutdoors.us/ind...id=11&Itemid=5
    • The $60 range fee will be due on the first day of class; please bring cash.
    • Lunch will be available at the range for $6/day cash.
    • Bring plenty of fluids to stay hydrated at the range; the range we are at is a few hundred yards from the club house.
    • Please bring sunscreen and appropriate clothing; it will be hot and dry and there is little to no shade out on the range.
    • We are planning a class dinner on Saturday night; more details on the first day of class.
    • Please bring staple guns, staples and masking tape to the range; this will give us more range time.
    • If you have a small sledge hammer, please bring it to assist in setting up the target stands.
    • If you have any questions, please PM me.

    A quick note about directions, DO NOT use GPS, as this will get you lost.
