DO they have any classes on being shot from 368 yards with a 338 win mag
to the forehead? They may need to start a class on that,cause I sure wouldn't
do it any other way......

In other words,training doesn't mean a hill of beans if you don't have other things,
such as instinct,,mobility,able to adapt,good eyesight,hearing,understanding of
surroundings,people,etc...

Most of the folks Ive seen at classes couldn't outrun a turtle,so in a real life
situation,I just don't see them winning

There are precision rifle courses and there are courses on understanding how people act.

Phobos has taught precision rifle and William April has a good course on people and surroundings.

Hitting a moving target at 368 yards in a 3x3 inch square is going to be tough. I don't think there are too many shooters in the world capable of doing that.

We must not be in the same classes. Almost all of the guys in the classes I have been to have been in pretty decent to amazing shape. Just saying.

Remember though that Steven Seagal has that "be the bullet. You have to BE the bullet.." thing going on for him though. 357mag foo.

Training is about being better than you were yesterday. And I've met some 'turtles' as you put it that are very accurate. There's something to be said for manning fixed defenses and protecting the homestead. Not everyone is an Army Ranger, Navy Seal, Scout, or Force Recon... but all have worth...


I want to do a pistol class. I have to wait a bit... I screwed up my trigger finger (chopped through the nail actually) and it has everything on hold for a few more weeks.

Perfect example.Your finger is messed up in say a brawl,now you cant shoot nothing because you didnt
train to shoot with both hands,,behind the back,,with a mirror...They did it on top shot,,

Hoping to take a precision class at CORE in the next couple months, my long game is weak.

I renewed my CCW back in October if that counts.

I took the Advantage Group Gunfighter 1 class about 4 or 5 years ago and have thought about taking it again. I only go shooting 3 or 4 times a year so I am sure it would be a good refresher/start over. I am currently in a training class at work that lasts until the end of July so any other classes would have to be after that. Probably into fall when you think of our weather in the July Aug Sept timeframe.

I can shoot, but it hurts. I'm not spending time, money, and ammo on a sucky day... And I have shot off handed before. I can practice that on my own time.

You should take GF1 and GF2. They are typically on a Saturday and Sunday...and you get a discount from taking both as far as I know.

For those that have yet to take a class this year, you missed out on two excellent days of training with VATA this past weekend. Shooting in a downpour really makes you focus on fundamentals.

Multiple humble pies were served all weekend.

100% agree. Will definitely be attending more classes with them.

I've got a CQB Instructors Course coming up with Dan Brokos I'm really looking forward to. Mike Green is coming down again this year so I'm jumping on that. Hopefully another Shivworks class this year too.

 

[leadslinger972]

Been a hot minute.

What's next?

 

[BDill]

Well I guess we'll do this like the OP.

I have Vata Pistol Tune-up Scheduled in August.

Also, trying to make the Intro Carbine and Carbine I in October. This will more then likely round out 2018 for me.

I'll most likely see you in August.

I'm planning to take Tac Pistol 1 again from concealment.

I've been looking at the VATA tactical pistol courses, does anyone here have experience with them?

BDill and I both do, as well as many others. We shot with them in a thunderstorm recently
