Cruel Hand Luke

This one is coming up THIS SATURDAY !!!

This one is coming up in a couple of weeks!!!!

I highly recommend this class (and anything John offers) . In fact , AJ and I will be in attendance as students at this one. John and I have known each other for almost 20 years and taken numerous classes together and taught classes together. I was looking to host this class in my area but we were unable to come up with a date for this year so instead I'm just going to pay to go to this one. If you can make this one you should.

Yes the Alabama on is the "only" one with the rifle.

Yes the Alabama one will have the FBI Rifle Qual.

You can view some videos from the Vehicle class on my facebook page......https://www.facebook.com/search/posts?q=harris combative strategies

Another good reason to avoid Deleware....

One week to go on this one !!!!!!!!!!

YES in this class you will shoot from inside your own vehicle. Equipment Required : Modern defensive pistol and 200 rounds of ammo. A holster specifically for that pistol worn on the belt .

TN/GA/AL Training Group – “How Qualified Are You?” JULY 9 we will be at the Windrock Shooting Range for a meeting of the TN/GA/AL training group. Everyone is welcome! No prerequisites and no prior experience required ! This one will take place right after the monthly Back Up Gun Match at Windrock Shooting Range. If you want to REALLY test your skills come shoot the BUG match and then shoot the Training Day qualifications with your backup gun ! Subject: HOW QUALIFIED ARE YOU ? Instructor: Randy Harris Randy’s Bio Location: Windrock 720 Windrock Rd, Oliver Springs, TN 37840 http://www.windrockshootingrange.com/ DATE : Saturday July 9 Time: 12:30 PM EASTERN time – 4:30PM EASTERN time Price: $80 – pay at class by cash or check or Electronic payment by paypal or venmo (friends and family option) or by credit card (contact Randy by phone 423 827 9133 or by email at randy@harriscombative.com for CC payment).

Revolvers are welcome if you want to party like it is 1899. . I will try to have ammo available for those who want to replenish what they shoot. We will be shooting some challenging warm up drills and then the Bakersfield PD Qual, Federal Air Marshal pistol qualification, FBI pistol qualification courses and a few others. I will also keep records of these (if you are happy with your scores) for future reference and use . This will serve to get your shooting prowess on record by a third party in case it is ever needed in the future in some legal matter. This is also something your church might like to have for their records if you are a member of a church security team. As far as the courts are concerned if it isn’t documented it didn’t happen so this is an opportunity to get some official scores on paper in case you ever need them . Not only that but it will be a good day of shooting some somewhat challenging and well known courses of fire. This is an EXCELLENT chance to bring someone you know who might need a “reality check” on where their skills actually are. We all know people who are gun owners who keep threatening to get some training. The training days (especially the pistol qual day) are a great way to get them into that and show them what is possible with some directed practice and see where they REALLY are at their present skill level. And it is a good chance to get to meet people with the same interests that don’t think you are “crazy”. And just a final reminder EVERYONE is welcome !

This can be seen on the blog on my website at http://harriscombative.com/review-from-a-student/ How Training with Randy Harris Helped Me Pass Rogers Shooting School While most people in the shooting community have heard of Rogers Shooting School, many are unaware as to the level of training, practice, and preparation needed to be successful. Really, until you go there and make it through your first day, you really don’t have any idea if you have “the right stuff.” Rogers is considered to be by many one of the top shooting schools in the world. Built around Bill Roger’s innovative disappearing target system, the school pushes shooters to the limit of human reaction times. Multiple targets pop up and disappear during one of the nine drills that make up the Rogers test. Each drill has its own challenges to test every aspect of what you may encounter in a gunfight. While many of the world’s best shooters have trained at Rogers, I was an unlikely candidate. I have always loved shooting but was primarily a competitor in NRA high power rifle, mid-range prone, and John C. Garand matches. Shooting pistols was just for fun and concealed carry. A desire to learn more about shooting on the move in a more defense-oriented setting led me to come out to one of the monthly training groups put on by Harris Combative Strategies. It was there that I met Randy Harris and a lot of other extremely talented individuals. It was also there that I first realized that I was way behind the curve when it came to speed and equipment. You don’t know what you don’t know until it slaps you in the face. My first experience with the training group was both intimidating and inspiring. Shooting in front of others who are more talented than you can be intimidating. However, every time I stepped up to the line, I got plenty of tips and encouragement from Randy and the other shooters. I managed to make it through the day with only one problem. That problem was that I was, as fishermen say, “gut hooked.” One training group session turned into a whole lot more, including a class or two along the way. I was fine with a rifle once I got my gear sorted out, but pistol shooting at speed was always a challenge. Accuracy wasn’t a problem. Glacial draws and slow, deliberate shots were hard to overcome. After a few months of slowly getting better, I decided to give myself a goal to reach for. I emailed Bill Rogers and asked if he would consider running an advanced pistol class during my vacation week. To my surprise, he immediately responded back that he would set up a class for that week. This gave me five months to train. Figuring that I needed a lot more help if I were going to survive at Rogers, I told Randy what I had done. He didn’t say much at first, but I could see the gears turning in his head. My goal was now a goal for him. The next five months of training was what I needed to get ready for the speed and focus required to succeed at Rogers. I had the basics down for the most part. Randy fine-tuned my grip, stance, and target transitions. He also helped me work through my gear to make sure I was prepared. Timed drills helped track my progress. Man on man duels during training group added that extra bit of stress I needed to keep my wits about me when pressured. Shooting multiple targets with both my strong hand and my weak hand pointed out where I needed a lot of work. Randy also strongly encouraged me to start shooting IDPA. From drawing at a signal to making accurate hits fast under time pressure, Randy knew that this would help me prepare for what I was going to face. After all, Randy was high shooter in his class at Rogers. He would know. A funny thing also happened. Randy came out of semi-retirement to shoot at some of my matches. His experienced eye allowed him to see where I was having problems and to suggest corrections. He also managed to win the 2022 Tennessee IDPA state championship in the back up gun category after being back for such a short time. Finally, the big week came. The Sunday night meeting beforehand with the Rogers Shooting School staff and all the students was intimidating. Looking around the room all I saw was experienced shooters that all looked like they had “been there and done that.” Finding out that the US Secret Service Shooting Team walked off after their first day at Rogers made me question my sanity. To make a long story short, I made it through the week just fine. I was prepared for the incredible amount of stress shooting at Rogers puts on you. Those targets pop up and disappear far faster than you are initially prepared for. Shooting with incredible shooters also pushes you to your limit. Nobody wants to be “that guy.” You want to belong there. Randy was in constant communication with me throughout the week. We texted back and forth, with me providing my score on the test each day and Randy asking questions and making suggestions. I made steady progress during the week with his help and a lot of coaching from the staff. My goal at Rogers Shooting School was to gain speed and confidence. I was under no illusion that I was going to be high shooter or complete the course with an advanced rating. I am just not there yet. My hope was to walk out with a basic rating, which meant at least a 70 on the test. Thanks to Randy helping me on the road I started around a year earlier, I scored an 83 and passed with a basic rating. My ability to hit targets at speed also improved tremendously. Rogers Shooting School was one of the bigger challenges of my life. If you have been there for the week and shot the test each day, then you know what I went through. Had you seen my skills as a pistolero at the first training group I wandered into, then you wouldn’t believe that I made it. Without a continued focus on making my self better and Randy’s dedication to making sure his students achieve their goals It would not have happened. I don’t think anyone can walk off the street and pass at Rogers. We all think we were born with the God given skill to shoot like John Wayne. Maybe some of us have that innate skill, but nobody is born with the John Wick skills you need to succeed at Rogers Shooting School. You must train hard to get there. The motto of Rogers Shooting School is “Be fast. Be accurate. Be the best.” That sums the school and it’s training up perfectly. However, if you want to be ready when you walk up to the firing line, hear the hiss of the air cylinders, and see those seven targets start to appear, you need to train with Randy Harris first. He has been there and done that and his training can help you achieve your goals. JB

This one is coming up THIS SATURDAY !!!!!!!

From a student in class from their Facebook page.... We judge things on the experience vs. the expectation. Most things are evaluated on the expectation that we set beforehand. Personally, I have never left one of Randy's lessons feeling that the instruction was exactly like I thought it would be. It's always been much more. A safe and informative curriculum sets the bar high. Has my experience with Harris Combative Strategies met my expectation? Every. Single. Time.

Lee Weems of First Person Safety. He's also one of Tom Givens' assistant instructors and the former chief deputy of the Oconee County Ga Sheriff's Office.

I am the guest on the That Weems Guy podcast for the episode that started today. Talking about pocket pistols and backup guns. This was part 1 of 2 .
