Looking for others to attend gun classes
« on: April 10, 2020, 07:47:32 PM »
Its time for me to get some training in this year and I'm looking for others that would like to join in to practice and travel with.  I'm assuming that the COVID dies down later this summer and restrictions are eased.  I usually go to Front Sight in Las Vegas, but I think the hotels and casinos there will be closed for a while.  These are the classes I'm interested in:

Sig Sauer Academy -  pistol/rifle/shotgun imaster instructor, low light instructor, bullets and bandages, fire team tactics, executive protection, and others.  Epping, NH

I'm in.  My goal is to become an NRA and tactical instructor and start a simulator training business here.

PM me, I suggest John Lovell, Warrior Poet Society, Taran Tactical and Raidon Tactics.

Marshall safe training is who I was going to train for a NRA Instructor License.

I could take care of that.

Are you an NRA instructor?  Send me a PM about how we can collaborate.

It is good to get outside of the islands as there are limited opportunities here.  It is a big commitment to attend these in terms of time and money.  Should be doing live fire practice every week and dryfire at home.

I've been doing 200 dry fire reps from home in isolation and was going to x-ring dynamic Downrange excercises until the lockdown.  But I got a Mantis X which is a cool little dry fire device.

Yup.  It's a fundraiser and the proceeds go to charity.  There are instructors from across the country that volunteer to teach it and sponsors cover the costs.  It's broken up into different workshops throughout the day on the range.  This covers more of it:.

I'm kicking off my training year with Masaad Ayoob's Deadly Force Instructor course in Phoenix, AZ July 6-10.  It's a week long class, all in the classroom, teaching the legalities of self-defense and how to defend yourself in court with a mock trial at the end.  You could take his MAS-40 class which is geared toward shooting and student deadly force course if you want to forgo the instructor certification..  I don't know of anyone that teaches a class like this to civilians and it is from the top instructor in the nation.

I'm not really sure what I can do with this class.  Help with lobbying for gun rights, teaching the legalities of self-defense, or adding it to my CCW course.  Ayoob is getting old so have to take this class before he retires.  There's 3 of us flying up for the class, let me know if you'd like to join in.

I'd like to take the MAS40 class pending travel restrictions and lockdowns.  Did you all book flights already?  Do you know if there is any national quarantine from State to state?  Let me know what flight and hotel you've booked.

The MAG40 is a separate class.  https://massadayoobgroup.com/events/category/mag40/

Arizona is relatively mild for Covid, and they'll likely be ahead of the nation in getting back to normal.  For the Deadly Force Instructor, we haven't booked our flights yet, but plan on leaving Saturday night or Sunday morning.   Might spend an extra day there at the end to explore around or shoot at the Ben Avery range.

Factor in ammo counts and pricing.  I recall when I was doings classes in the 2013-2014 range during the ammo craze.  Some classes were more "efficient" on round count, at least relative to the Magpul video level ballistic masturbation. 

I'm starting to see ripples in ammo pricing, like $300/1000 for retail CCI 9 mm and closer to $0.40-0.50/round for M193.  I think that's worse than the 2013-2014.  Luckily, when I was taking classes back then, I got to know some good people in previous classes and they hooked me up with ammo.

Buy cheap, stack em deep.  Ammo can get expensive not just for the class, but the trainup prior to the class.  Lesser extent when taking a class on the mainland since travel and class fees make up most of the cost, but availability could cause problems.  I do my research when taking a class on the mainland.  Sometimes pre-arrange a person to person ammo buy,  order it online and have it delivered, get it from walmart or a gun store, or from the school itself.  I usually bring the first day's ammo with me just incase I have trouble buying ammo or my flight gets delayed.
