Fight At Night : Defensive Concepts for Dark Environments   Date: Saturday March 12 Time: 4PM - 11PM Location: The Ridge Dayton TN. (http://www.theridgeshooting.com/)  Price $160 cash or check. ($60 Deposit to hold spot / balance due night of class). Instructor: Randy Harris     This rarely offered class will cover some critical skills which include shooting with and without the help of flashlights in low or no light. We will work both proactively challenging unknown potential threats and reacting to unexpected close range attacks in low light settings. You will see just how much light you really need to accurately shoot by and how much light you actually need to ID targets. We will also cover manipulating the pistol in the dark both with and without a light in our hands. We will load , unload and clear malfunctions with and without flashlights.  A fair amount of time will also be devoted to using the flashlight as a tool to help you get deselected in the "pre fight interview" , use the light as a distraction device and impact weapon, and as a bridge from less lethal to lethal force.        Range Gear and requirements : Handheld flashlight (Surefire 6P, G2, Streamlight Scorpion or similar). Extra batteries.  Pistol and holster designed to be worn on the belt. Two spare mags  (3 total minimum) and a mag pouch. Range Safety gear (eye and ear protection) . Clothing appropriate for weather. Snacks and drinks.   Ammo: Approximately 250 rounds.   If you have a weapon mounted light for your pistol and want to use it for some drills then please bring it too. If your carry pistol has a light that is fine too just make sure it fits your holster. If you have a "blue gun" or airsoft gun and training knife  you want to bring feel free to do so. We will be doing some interactive exercises where students will play the role of both good guys and bad guys to get a better feel for just what each experiences when the techniques are applied in low light. If you don't see it from both sides you only know about half of what is going on.      A $60 deposit will hold a spot for you in this class. Balance due at class. We are limiting it to 16 students so you might want to get your deposit in soon. To register or for more info either PM me here at TGO or email me at Cruelhandluke2000@yahoo.com.    Hope to see you there!   Some Bio info and some of my training resume.....http://www.suarezinternationalstore.com/instructor-randy-harris.aspx

OK, March 12 would be the date, 4pm to 11pm eastern would be the time and $160 would be the price....sooooo......anyone else interested?

Cool.    This is coming up in a little over 2 weeks! 

I came across a reproduction flintlock Kentucky style rifle with the maker "W Westall" marked on the barrel. The present owner thinks it was probably made in the 1970s but he is not sure as it was not new when he got it. Does anyone know anything about "W. Westall"?    While searching the net I found a mention of a Wayne Westall in Marion NC but no real info. Anyone know anything ? 

And that is why training in decision making is just as important (if not more so) than shooting and manipulations.

Dayton TN at The Ridge.....http://www.theridgeshooting.com/ .    There are not a whole lot of places that are open to the idea of people shooting after dark....

As to cost it will most likely be in the $160 range.    As to WML (Weapon Mounted Light) if you want to use that for some of the class that is fine. I will cover both the use of hand held lights and WML. And the lack of a holster for it is not really that big a handicap since most people using a WML equipped pistol to check out the bump in the night at 3AM will not be wearing a holster. But for the overwhelming majority of the drills approximating defending against street crime we will be using a hand held light like the Surefire 6P or G2 or Streamlight scorpion. After all, you can walk down any street in the world with a palmed flashlight.....not so much with a WML equipped gun in your hand so even if we have a WML we still need to carry a handheld when out in public.   Depending on what weapon mounted light you have and on which pistol you use  I might be able to hook you up with a holster.
