Title: The year of training!!!!
Post by: JC5123 on March 20, 2015, 11:53:37 AM
As of right now I have the potential to attend 3 classes. I am working on a 4th.

Unfortunately I'm waiting to hear on 2 of them.

1. A long range class with Jason Wilson at Lucid
2. A 5 day small unit tactics course with John Hurth

3. a FOR SURE advanced trauma class in Boulder with Dark Angel Medical.

4. If I can swing it I'm looking at Precision Rifle 7 at Gunsite in August.

I am trying really hard for well rounded here.

Man that's a busy schedule. 

Maybe you work in some shotgun skills classes, too?  Maybe one on wing shooting and one on tactical?

I'd just like to have the time and money to take 250.

Update:

5 day small unit tactics is a go.

Also signed up for a Rob Pincus carbine course in June.

Nice regiment you have set up for yourself JC. Looking at becoming a instructor for NRA Personal Protection in the Home. I had taken a Force on Force Course with Mindset Laboratory in Indianapolis and want to continue in their training scenarios in flashlight combatives. Helping with Boy Scout Venturing Crew 2532/Shooting Sports and Howard County 4-H Shooting Sports has me using up a ton of time but worth teaching the kids proper firearm skills.

Keep training. When I took "Combat Focus Shooting" with Rob Pincus in 2009, he mentioned always being a student. I agree with that 100%. Hoping to train with some others in the future, Massad Ayoob, Mike Seeklander and Michael Janich in the future. Gunsite is also a dream for my wife and self.

Our instructor told us about a miracle drug for situations like that. It's called Tryactin.

Try Actin Like a Man.  ;D  Walk it off.

It's good to get training from multiple sources.  Everyone has a spin that puts a tool in your toolbox that you can access if you have a job that calls for it later on.
