Paul, I'm doing the final prep for the course, and was wondering where I should fly into, and what good hotels are nearby?

I'm going to send you an email as well about ammo (purchase) and a pistol (rent) for the course....

Can't wait!

Awesome class. My first time getting training from Ken and Grey Group. I can't thank everyone enough for all the help I received working up to the course. I didn't have to worry about ammo or a pistol, which was huge since I came from the great white north. :D

Hopefully I can get the time to come down this way again for more courses hosted by Grey Group.
