I blame it on the forum software.... kinda quirky in that it won't let you use plain text for links.....

Late Friday I sent my app for the Montrose CF course - looking forward to it.

Excellent, Fiteb! Thanks!

18th & 19th: St. Augustine FL ( LE Only )
Does it count my sis and brother in law are LE's?
-
For them? Yes.
For you? No.
****
BTW_ That isn't my policy or anything... the course is being hosted at a Police Agency range which only allows LE Personnel. Sorry!

RJP,
Reference post #3 should I expect a confirmation/further details on my application last Friday? Thanks
-
Yes, you will hear something soon. Your lead instructor is actually here in VA with me this week working a Mil course, so it may not be until after the weekend!

Rob, I have one question and that is if we pay the $450 for the class + ammunition, will the host have the ammunition and we pay them since there appears to be a shortage in acquiring ammunition in the civilian market? Coming up with 1,100 to 1,400 rounds required for the course is going to be rather pricey and difficult to manage where I live.
-
Ping,
Ammunition is the responsibility of the student. Some hosts do sell ammunition, but that is a case-by-case issue.
The fact is that we have lowered the "recommended" amount of ammo because of student concerns, but the amount of ammunition at the course isn't a huge issue. If a student showed up with 500 rnds, they would still get a lot out of the course... just not as many reps in the drills. I've never felt that students weren't going to need to get more reps outside of a 2 or 3 day class to really drive home the techniques. The lectures, techniques, concepts and opportunity to train and test gear under scrutiny is really what the courses are about.... the practice is still going to have to happen over time. I've told a couple of students that they could bring .22 conversions for their pistols and use them for the "reps" portions of the course (as long as they learn techniques will recoil and then go through the more dynamic and evaluative drills with centerfire). For those students, I've recommended at least 300 centerfire rounds, with the balance in .22.
I really don't want the budget issue to be a problem for students who want the training, so we're adapting as necessary. The fact is the problem is serious. Today I got notice from a Military Unit that they might need to purchase ammo on the open market because of a logistics issue for a class in 2 weeks and I know its not going to be easy to find as much as we want. Also today, a friend who runs a range asked me if I can help him get some rounds in May, as he is running low and his suppliers have told him that he'll get nothing until June!

I shot exactly 500 rounds in the class with my GLOCK 26. Those with higher capacity guns shot more (maybe 750). I feel I got plenty out the class.
-
I was just curious Rob cause I am having a heck of time getting ammo. Same issue around here with suppliers not having anything in stock. There was plenty of .40 Smith and Wesson and now that I have purchased a Glock that shoots that ammo I find myself unable to find any.
Just a month ago I was able to get the 200 or 250 rounds of Remington UMC in .40 S&W. Everywhere I went they had .40 but you could not find 9mm, .45 ACP or .380 to save your life.
Thanks for responding Rob. :)
