Survival Handgun at Culpeper, VA May 29-31
Good Afternoon,
The company that I just started is hosting a course in Culpeper, VA. This is a FREE course, I just want feedback in the written and oral form. NO HIDDEN FEES The course runs:
May 29th, 30th and 31st. This is Memorial Day weekend!
About me/company: I am a former Infantry Marine with extensive firearms experience. I have four tours overseas including Iraq, Afghanistan, Haiti and southeast Asia in an infantry capacity. I taught at the USMC High Risk Personnel Course for 2 years, and shot on the Marine Corps 3 Gun team for 1. I have numerous shooting courses under my belt. I have also graduated from numerous federal law enforcement schools. I am also a certified NRA law enforcement Instructor in handgun and shotgun. My company was recently formed to provide intense handgun skills for shooters who are dedicated to becoming proficient with their firearms and want to push themselves to the limit.
Course Cost: Absolutely free! This course will run $400, but this is a pilot course, and I am seeking two shooters to attend this course, in return I will require a lengthy end of course critique to give me feedback. Shooters will recieve a free course including no range fee. Shooters must just provide their own gear and ammo. I currently have 6 other shooters attending the course on the dates posted they are military or DOD.
Course Info: This is a 3 day dynamic handgun course that will provide shooters with a foundation to build a solid shooting background. The course will go much further than the basics, and will drive the shooter past his capabilities and expose weaknesses and strengths from shooters mid to high level proficiency. Shooters are expected to come to this course with an open mind. We will explore all aspects that make a solid gunfighter from mindset to ground shooting. This is an intensive shooting course be prepared to sweat. The staff running the course will demonstrate and perform all the skills they expect the students to perform. If we can't do it, we don't expect to be able to hold our students to a higher level.
WARNING: Not all shooters will be graduating with the same certificate. I have a challenging qualification course, shooters will receive : not qualified, novice, intermediate, and advance based on the qualification course. This course is derived from various shooting schools and will test most abilities of a shooter with a handgun. From novice to advanced level shooters will be challenged throughout the course. This is not a course for a begginer shooter.
Required Equipment:
1200 rounds of handgun ammunition
handgun from a reputable manufacturer that can handle 1200 rounds through it in three days (4 inch plus preffered)
Enough magazines that the shooter can carry 45 rounds on his/her person.

Magazine Pouches that allow the ability to carry 45 rounds of filled magazines.
Eye Protection (ear protection can be provided at no cost)
Pants or shorts with belt loops and a belt

What you will learn: The shooter will not only learn a plethora of skills, but in a unique manner. We will do drill after drill until we not only learn the technique, but it becomes second habit. Targets get refaced after every skillset, no shooting on dirty targets for a whole day. Most of these skills will be tested during qualification. This will be a dynamic qualification, where all hits will be on an IPSC's A zone under time. Failure to meet the hit(s) or the time will result in no point. 25 total Points. All skills will be isolated for the qual. You will do the qual 3 times during the course best score out of 3 is taken.

Contacting Me: My website is not up yet, but as soon as it is I will post the link on this forum. For now you can message me via the forums or at narobleto@yahoo.com. Students are staying at the best western inn at Culpepper, Virginia if you are interested in reserving a room where the other students will be staying. If you are interested in attending this course let me know and we will get you locked on. I will be doing a background check on all students, any felonies or drug charges and you will not be allowed to attend. This is a great free opportunity for a free course to try a different approach to training.

Thank You for your interest.
