Revolvers are welcome if you want to party like it is 1899. Eye and ear Protection. Snacks and drinks. We will work on our pistol skills - specifically getting off the X in reactive situations, retaking the initiative and counter attacking. When reacting to sudden attack should you move and shoot or shoot while moving? We will look at all possibilities. If your skills you learned in Close Range Gunfighting have gotten a little rusty this is the tune up you need! We will also run some "man on man" drills to test skills and add a little motivation. Most ranges don't allow you to just show up and shoot while moving so don't miss out on this opportunity ! And just a final reminder EVERYONE is welcome ! The TN/GA/AL Training Group started as a way for alumni of classes taught by Randy Harris to get together and stay current on skills and get some coaching in a one day format at a discounted price from what a normal class would cost. As it continued to grow we opened it up to ANYONE who is interested in coming out and learning some skills and just seeing what it is that we do and meet some new people with the same interests. So even if you are not an alum of one of my classes you are welcome to come join us!

This is coming up THIS Saturday !!

This one is coming up in just a few weeks !

Thanks. I appreciate that.

I was trying to send this as a PM to TGODavid but my inbox is 154% full and I don't want to have to clear all that out to send him a message. I am paid up as a Vendor through May but I just realized I am showing up just as a "member" , can't read some forums I normally can and now my mail box is fuller than what a "member" can have. Can you take a look at that and see A. why it is that way and B. how long it has been that way? Thanks!

A lot of people just show up and shoot their first match. That's what I did way back in the 1900s. While that is the "traditional" way of doing it, we can make an argument that doing an "intro" class makes sense to familiarize you with the rules and "how to play the game" type info. That would be a more structured way to familiarize yourself with the game and the rules. Having said that people are generally open to helping new folks and if you just show up at a match and tell them you are a new shooter they will take care of you.

Yes I’m sure we will probably do another one this year.

Yes, I normally try to shoot the matches at Cohutta Pines in Cisco GA , Cleveland Hunting Rifle and Pistol Club in Cleveland TN , and occasionally at Montlake in Soddy Daisy and then I try to hit the local state level matches and the Nationals and World when they are not on the other side of the country.

Yes this is coming up tomorrow after the BUG match at Windrock on the training range. We are going to have a good turnout but we do still have room for more ! Hope to see you tomorrow!
