Everytime I'm on the roads I consider it a training day in defensive driving. But nope, no actual formal classes taken.
Good helpful tactics Keystone.
Hope turns out good for you, have a great time!I will be attending a class tomorrow morning that incorporates automobiles. Not driving them though, just shooting from them. That is if it isn't cancelled because of tornadic thunderstorms that are rolling into the area now.
Thanks Bob. Just got word that there will be a break in the weather so the class has been moved to 11-3 instead of 10-2. Should be a good class. I'm hoping Fed Ex drops my upper off before I go, otherwise I have to have my neighbor keep an eye out for it since no one will be here.Hope turns out good for you, have a great time!

Sometimes going with the flow or in this case, riding out the storm may've been the best choice?Well it was an awesome class. We didn't get to do any vehicle stuff. There was a rain delay and we spent a little extra time in the building doing drills with this.
iTargetPro (Laser Firearm Training System) Shoot Your Gun in the House
iTarget allows you to practice dry fire training with an actual firearm by using the iTarget Pro app and a laser bullet. Safe, Fun and Effective Training. Firearm training at home using a laser bullet and a phone app. Save on ammo while developing better marksmanship. The best laser training...
Which was very cool and I will be buying one. Talk about saving on ammo.
We did get some shooting time in. Multiple failure drills, shooting while moving, shooting from retention and under stress, reloading drills, etc. Who would have thought I'm unnaturally good at shooting while moving. One of the other guys in the class is an Army combat veteran and I shot circles around him. That may be more of a reflection on him than me, but the fact is that we were shooting from 5 to 20 yards and I could count the shots I put outside the 7 ring on one hand. I think all that time I spend with the jarheads is paying off. That said, there's nothing like that laser deal to make you feel like an idiot. This guy is all about efficiency and consistency. Which makes sense. The least amount of movement from the draw to the shot. Using the way your body naturally reacts to your advantage.
Anyway, it was an extremely fun and enlightening class. Due to the late start and the rain delay everyone but me, the instructor and a young combat veteran marine who was assisting him everyone else had to leave before Bill ( the instructor) was ready to stop. So he invited me to stay and have some fun with his robots. It was a lot of fun.
Then when I got home my upper from BCA was waiting for me and man is it beautiful. Not a scratch or a flaw anywhere that I could find. I disassembled it, cleaned it, mated it to my lower, stuck a Romeo on it and put 30 rounds through it to check function. The Romeo was pretty damn close right out of the box, but I'll get it on the range and dial it in hopefully tomorrow. Rather an expensive day ammo wise, but it's the best day of my vacation week so far that's for sure.
I dig the side charging thing.
Sounds like you had a blast!
Thanks Bob.Sometimes going with the flow or in this case, riding out the storm may've been the best choice?
Can yield to some interesting, unexpected and surprising outcomes?
And, your gun looks great too!
Nice rifle.Well it was an awesome class. We didn't get to do any vehicle stuff. There was a rain delay and we spent a little extra time in the building doing drills with this.

I bought an MOE SL-K. I put it on my Witch Doctor and took the stock off it and put it on this rifle. I will eventually put a different stock on this one. Most likely I will take the Romeo off it and put a scope of some sort on it too. My intention ultimately is for this one to be used as a range gun for longer distances, presumably utilizing match grade .223 ammo. It is .223 Wylde so it seems like the thing to do.Nice rifle.
Glad you had fun in class. I always enjoy class/range time even on courses I’ve done before.
time for a Bravo or Magpul stock on that bad boy
The electronic targeting system sounds like could be a good thing! - Like how can buy individual pieces with that system, could make more useful.Well it was an awesome class.
