    AAR for Patriot Shooting Academy’s Carbine course on Mother’s Day Weekend

    in Training Discussions

    Posted

    Hello Fellow TGO:

    On Mother’s Day weekend, my two boys and I took the Tactical Carbine 2 class with Gilbert Perez at Patriot Shooting Academy in Dandridge, Tenn. I believe in the 2nd Amendment and if you have a weapon, I believe that it’s essential that one knows how to use it safely and effectively.  Because the boys and I have had less trigger time with the long gun (vs pistol), we wanted to get better and know that getting training from a known expert is the way to go. After all, didn’t Luke Skywalker need Yoda?

     

    It was an awesome day. Gilbert is an expert shooting teacher, and with his watchful eye, he improved our competency by correcting our errors and showing us how to improve – shoot faster, shoot more accurately, how to transition to multiple targets, shooting on the move, how to use your sights, how to go down quickly, how to shoot more steadily, changing from rifle to pistol – What an awesome day of fun! Who needs Dollywood?!?

     

    It was a tiring day -- even my boys were tired and they are in terrific shape.  Bring plenty of water. Bring knee pads, gloves, hat, and ammo. The only break we had was lunch. BTW, bring your food, to save time and convenience. Also, I must add that both of his Tactical Carbine courses (1 &2) are very affordable and worthwhile.  You will also leave with a better idea on how to practice at home. I really love the rifle. It’s an awesome tool. Best of all, however, after the “Tactical Carbine 2” training class, if there are zombies, I know that my boys’ mother will be well protected.  Happy Mother’s Day!

     

    Also, just to be clear, I have no financial interest in Patriot Shooting Academy.

    Yeah I was just poking fun at him. I remember when you were rocking the G26 Ray. You were the OG of CCP.

     

    Yep those were the day when I was using the Glock 26 for IDPA, USPSA, and Steel Challenge! Back then, shooting was fun and didn't matter how I did.

     

    You know I may shoot IDPA with the G26 in CCP, but I'll wait and see. Ha, ha.

    Or is that Ray posting the vid? That would make sense, nice shooting Ray! Enjoyed being the squad mom for squad 1.

    Hey I hope you know that I was poking fun. Thanks for being our squad "mom" and keeping things moving along.

     

    BTW, Spiffy, Joe did post a video from the match in this thread (and he did shot well) so he got the names right -- "Nice shooting Adam and Joe". But, however, if he thought my name was "Joe" then, that's another matter ha ha :-)

     

    Oh yes, I have a picture of Squad 1 taken at the last stage and you're in it Jeremy. Here's a link (I hope this work bc I'm sharing this from DropBox): Squad 1 Group Picture

     

    Thanks to all the volunteer and SOs who worked the match. Appreciate it very much! :usa:

    Looking for IDPA, USPSA or similar events relatively near Gatlinburg

    Hey Glock26,

    thanks for the link. Unfortunately, I got the shaft from them today. I looked at their site and verified the hours prior to leaving to go shoot there.

    However, after driving 50 miles to get there, there was a sign at the gate announcing that they are closed on Wednesday for National guard training

    which was not noted on their site, or on their recorded message. I should have known better than to go anywhere that is run by any form of government.

    I will have to be satisfied only shooting indoors at the Sevier indoor range, this is in no way knocking their establishment, which I've been told by many is

    an excellent facility with a great staff. It is more a statement of my dissapointment at having to only shoot indoors in such a beautiful state. I wanted to shoot at both places since I am actually leaving on Friday morning and will not be able to make it to an action pistol type shoot on Saturday. Although It didn't work out well for me, I appreciate the gesture on your part.

     

    Boy I apologize. I've only shot there a few time (shotgun) and that was a few years ago. I guess one really needs to call and verify if possible. That's a real bummer. I hope they didn't blame that on the "Sequester"  :usa:
