It's been a long time since I have been on and have just came back. Saw many a new face so thought I would reintroduce myself for the new comers. As for you old farts, you get a 'meh'.  :wave:   *admin, please delete if you feel the need*

Welcome cousin, I'll see you in the Spring at Rifleman 1.

:stunned:  :squint:

I can actually understand where the concept comes from because in a environment where there was say an active shooter you would be shooting past others except far more chaotic than what is seen here. I actually like the idea in a training aspect but it is still nerve wracking nonetheless. I did it at Tactical Response with the "Instructor Downrange" that many take issue with but after actually doing it I see the need for understanding the concept that sometimes you will be shooting past non-threats to neutralize the bad guy.

Here's Bondy's take on the Ridge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4rrcPHMGyI

Welp, I'm going in October to Pistol Craft 1 and will be going to Rifle Immersion in early 2016. GET SOME!!!

Tactical Response out of Camden.

I went to Fighting Rifle about one month ago and it just dawned on me that I never posted so here goes. I'm just copying and pasting this from 'Get off the X' so please bear with it.   Our instructors for the class were; Calvin Lim, Jordan Winkler, Tim Morris, and Jay Gibson.   Calvin led the class for the most part doing about 70-80% of the lecture with Jordan supplementing the rest. At the range he would use humor to keep you chuckling but could immediately jump down your throat when you didn't get your shit together. He would force induce malfunctions on your weapon causing you to quickly "attempt" to clear it.   Jordan was similar to Calvin in the aspect that he could be cutting up with you one minute only to scream his lungs out at you the next to unfuck yourself. Jordan used positive reinforcement to let you know what you were doing was in fact correct. Which, another instructor that used this was...   Tim, he would give it to you like it is and doesn't give damn what you think about it or him for that matter. Do what he tells you and he won't be up in your shit. Tim was also a pretty funny dude and could cut up with everyone, including the instructors, especially...   Jay, those two were cut from the same cloth as anyone could tell at a glance. Jay was a very serious and stoic guy but has a dryer sense of humor so you were always left wondering if what he said was meant to be funny or not. He was very adamant about you moving your ass to cover.  If you didn't he would let you know subtly by saying quietly... "MOVE YOUR FUCKING ASS, YOU'RE BEING SHOT AT MOTHER FUCKER!" So needless to say his quiet voice motivated you to move.   Day one began with a short lecture on proper procedures, basic safety rules, and weapons manipulations. We then headed to the range and we didn't start off with the rifles first, we actually worked on pistol fundamentals. We had to get that together first before we started on the big guns(as they called them). We then worked on numerous drills including shooting on the move, transitioning from little gun(pistol) to big gun(rifle), working your way up from being downed on your back, and proper use of cover. My first AR went down 3/4 of the way through the day, gas block came loose. I had to rely on my backup.   Day two began with transitions once again, covering what we had already learned. The instructors then had us practice heavily with shooting on the move. We then began to do this in teams of two. Finally after lunch we began bounding drills. I only got one in and was put out of commission by an onset of heat exhaustion and to boot my second AR went down(which I think was the extractor, double feeds every 1-3 rounds). The folks who were our assigned medics for the day quickly got me into my truck, stripped my shirt off me, put a cold pack on my neck, cranked up the A/C, and wiped my chest down with ice. The chemistry of my body and weather robbed me of being able to do those last few exercises unfortunately. No one to blame but myself so I'll have to rearm, re-hydrate, and get the hell back out there so that I can get shit done. I had drank about 70oz of water before lunch time but was still dehydrated so don't think just because you drank a lot of water means you're hydrated. Tim put it like this, "If you're not pissing every hour and it's not clear, you're not properly hydrated." So also don't think that just because you don't know everyone there, that they're going to abandon you.     Take my advice, when they tell you to hydrate, LISTEN. It is not a joke in the least bit at all. I leave you with this, take the class if you wanna learn how to use your rifle but also have a little cardio under your belt. Take it from a "portly" feller.

Good stuff man but don't rest on these laurels, continue to seek training. "The day we stop learning is the day we die."

That hurts muh soul...

It's just money brother, they print it EVERY day. ;)

I'm not a salesman but I work at Cumberland Toyota in parts, whasup?

Da.

*begins vomiting profusely* :yuck: :puke:

Average dealer COST on a WASR is now in the $550. You sir got a steal and can never replace it for that. Also, is the Saiga converted?

Indeed.

That's Adam West and there's a reason why he's no longer allowed to have a FFL if you catch my drift. Not saying you got taken, merely saying I would be "weary" in my dealings with him.

I see them all the time when out towards Camden and all along the 840.

  It's like the SAME distance for me. Haha, I'm apparently at least an hour away from ANYTHING, both a blessing and a curse, LAWLZ.

Chris Bondy has taken Tactical Response fighting rifle and is going to attend the rifle course at Valor Ridge. I'll post his AAR as well.

I ran into Monkeyman2500 and MrsMonkeyMan2500 out and about the other day at that shop. Chatted about numerous things between life, types of guns we like, how the government licks taint, etc-etc. It was just cool putting a name to face as I've only done that a few times on here so it was just neat. I happened to overhear them talking to a buddy and listened to their story(yes, I'm TERRIBLE for eavesdropping) and realized it was the same story I had read MM2500 describe on here. Taking the leap of faith I asked, "Monkeyman?" He looked at me puzzled and said, "Yeeeeess?" I laughed and said, "Whitewolf man!" He and his wife both laughed and then we chatted it up. I just thought that was kinda awesome running into him like that, haha.

These functions always happen while I'm burning the late shift...

Simple, marketing strategy. They do this to control their own supply and demand. The production doesn't ramp up and you keep producing stuff at your same ol' pace and you create a perpetual demand for your product, especially one with such a high demand. Hence why even today the Sub2000 fetches $100 over its MSRP.

Dude, I didn't even know that they still offered that! Lolz

Sound like a hipster douche-canoe. Should offer him a urine sample to let him know what testosterone is.
