Cruel Hand Luke

Looks like they got it fixed in the listing. Sorry for the confusion.

I'll get them to change that ....I didn't notice that in the listing...   The AK class is ONE day. The Vehicle class is ONE day. Or you can take BOTH days at the discounted rate of $350. They apparently got it right on the vehicle class listing but the "2 days" on AK class is a typo.

So are you going to VA?

Coming to the Chattanooga area in July we have the Suarez International HITS 4 -Dynamics of the Kalashnikov and HITS 7 Vehicle Gunfighting classes. These are ONE DAY classes that can be taken together for a discounted rate or taken just one or the other.

They generally use a B27 target and you have to get 33 hits on paper (out of 48).  Any hit anywhere on the body  counts. 

Other than the random pic of someone's eyeball and of Robin it was fine.... :D    The guy who owns Hillbilly Willies BBQ is going to use one of the pics to put up on the wall. 

Just checking to see if any TGOers are going to be at the VA State IDPA match this Saturday. 

Suarez International TN/GA/AL Regional Training Group August 10 !!!!!!!!!!!!   DUE TO OVERWHELMING EARLY RESPONSE TO THE KNOXVILLE TRAINING DAY I WILL BE COVERING THE SAME MATERIAL IN THE CHATTANOOGA AREA THE NEXT WEEKEND. So if you cannot make it to Knoxville you can catch us the next weekend SW of CHattanooga......(or if you want to do both we'd love to have you come out both times!     On Aug 10 Suarez International Tier 1 Staff Instructor Randy Harris will be in the Chattanooga area leading a regional training group and working on close quarters shooting and Alternative Indexing Methods- making fight stopping hits without a picture perfect sight picture. At less than 4 yards a picture perfect sight picture is not needed to make hits and in a truly dynamic reactive situation (when the bad guys start the fight) you will likely not be able to find the sights in time to react appropriately. In this close up reactive situation Alternative Indexing Methods can save the day! Hope to see you there! DATE: AUG 10 Time: 9 AM to 3PM Central Time SUBJECT: Alternative Indexing Methods in close quarter shooting. Price: $80 Pay at class (cash or check) Equipment needed: Pistol and 3 magazines (or speedloaders if you roll with a wheel gun). Holster, mag pouch.

Coming in August to The Ridge Shooting Range in Dayton TN Suarez International Rifle Gunfighting II    RGF-2: RIFLE GUNFIGHTING II   August 16-17, 2014 Price : $350 Dayton, Tennessee Instructor: Randy Harris   Rifle confrontations worldwide rarely exceed 50 yards. Rather than a long range marksman's weapon, our research shows the rifle will most likely be used just outside the reach of more conventional weapons, as well as within these closer intervals of confrontation. This course will take the student quickly through the basics and impart the techniques necessary to deploy the Tactical Rifle, Civilian Carbine, or Submachine gun in a close interval emergency.This course is highly recommended for civilian defenders, military personnel, or police operators (we make no distinction in the material presented).   DURATION: 2 days   TIME: 8:30AM to 4:30PM   AMMUNITION: Approximately 500 rounds (Minimum) and 50 rounds of pistol ammunition   YOU NEED TO BRING: Spare clothing appropriate to the weather. Lunch, snacks and water (minimum of 1 gallon per person) for the entire day. Baseball or other style hat, sun screen, bug repellent, allergy medication (if needed), chair (if you have a problem with sitting on the ground, note taking paper/pen/pencil and a boo boo kit (band aids, gauze pads, antiseptic wipes, antibiotic ointment and tape).   REQUIREMENTS: Rifle (any action or caliber suitable for use within 50 yards), all weapons must be equipped with a sling, also bring a pistol with at least (2) magazines, a belt, holster, magazine pouches, rifle ammo pouches, and ear & eye protection (knee and elbow pads are strongly suggested).     For more info........http://www.suarezinternationalstore.com/140816-rifle-gunfightingII-dayton-tn.aspx

Thanks for that idea Spiffy.....Looks like I beat a total of 22 other Masters.......unfortunately they were not all in my division..... :wall:

Just a quick shout out to Spiffy for his performance at the Carolina Cup IDPA Championship this past weekend.   The Spiffster finished in 3rd place in his classification - Marksman Enhanced Service Pistol.    Congrats Sir! Good Shooting!

Roar-k , read this.....http://rationalgun.blogspot.com/2014/03/uspsa-as-competitive-environment-for.html that is what you are looking for....   I'm off to bed....heading to the Carolina Cup tomorrow....I'll see you there Spiffy!  

Hey Roar-k, the guy Spiffy is referring to is OrigamiAK. He posts on Pistoltraining.com in their forum. He is 1 of only 4 people to ever shoot the Rogers Shooting School course clean and he did it from AIWB. He and Manny Bragg did it on the same day in the same class about a month ago (Bill Rogers and Rob Leatham are the other 2 who shot a perfect 125)....As far as I know you can use AIWB in Limited, Limited-10, and Open Divisions in USPSA.  

Thank you Sir. And thank you for letting me come out and shoot on Friday with the SOs.

When we get a little closer I will have people start officially "committing". Not now, but when it is a little closer.

Oh, and congrats Jcoop!

Thanks man, I really appreciate that. Wish I could have been there today. Apparently I got some hardware? I guess they'll mail it to me.

Guys, (and gals?) , Bring lunch with you! If we do not have leave and come back for lunch then we can spend more time shooting and less time driving.  Also, it will be August in Knoxville so it will be sunny and hot. I know the host will have an "easy up canopy" , but if anyone else can bring one also that will help with shade. A camp chair is a good idea too .  And of course make sure you bring water / gatorade. Avoid hydration frustration. See you there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just wanted to say I had a great time Friday shooting this match with the SOs. And it was good meeting and shooting with you MechanicX.   I had to be at my day job today so I had to shoot the match on Friday. While the rain and mud was a little less than optimal, the stages were good and quick and I'm sure the shooters Saturday will have a good time. I do think the SOs should use a water hose today to "mud up" stage 5 so the shooters can "enjoy" the bog like we did yesterday....just to be "fair".. :devil:

No FOF in this one. Just live fire.

Just a reminder, this one is coming up in about 3 weeks....   Everyone here probably carries a knife on them as part of their EDC gear. We carry them as tools primarily but they might also be pressed into duty in defense of self and loved ones. And in instances where you cannot carry a gun , the knife might be the ONLY self defense tool you will have on you. But have you ever actually gotten any instruction in the combative use of the knife? If you might find yourself armed with only a knife then this class is definitely for you! We look at carry methods, accessing and opening methods, methods of attack, and a whole lot more.  Hope to see you there!!!!!!

Heading that way this evening....can anyone tell me what the traffic around Manchester (Bonnaroo) is like?   I'm in Chattanooga....Should I go I24 or go to Cookeville and take I40? 

No limit as of yet.
