Irons or optics for an advanced class?
Guys,
I'm fortunate enough to be training with Jason Falla this July (2 day advanced carbine).
As some of you might know, he makes every shooter "qualify" for the class first thing on day one. You have to shoot a series of drills and score a certain number of hits in order to proceed with the class.
That's ok. I've got the drills printed out and I'll run them repeatedly between now and then.
I usually train with irons. Each of the six classes I've taken so far, I've run irons. The thing is, I never had to take an entrance exam before!
One of my rifles, my LMT, has an Aimpoint on it.....so I'm thinking of running that rifle for this upcoming class.
Yes, I'm over thinking it, but this is my first advanced class and I want to be able to keep up with the big boys....so to speak.
Thoughts?
Redback One Shooting Standards
We released the RB1 Pistol and Carbine standards in preparation for our new advanced combat course curriculum that will be implemented in 2012. The intent is to have these standards out long enough for students to practice them and feel confident shooting them. The standards are by no means hard. They are challenging enough for the intermediate shooter that wants to take the next step to an advanced level.
The two courses that we have running in CT and NY are tactical carbine courses that will NOT have the shooting standards as a pre-requisite for attendance. The tactical carbine course is the second in the trilogy of RB1 training courses at this time. As previously mentioned, we will be implementing new curriculum in 2012 that will include pre-testing as part of the attendance requirements. However until then there will be no pre-test.
Our 2012 curriculum promises to be the most advanced and relevant training offered to civilian shooters.
I still encourage students that are attending our tactical pistol or carbine courses to practice the standards in their own time as part of the pre-course preparation. This will ensure that you have all of your equipment set up correctly, weapons running right and the shooter dialed in.
As mentioned in this thread, if anyone has any questions regarding training with RB1, please contact us directly. We are more than happy to answer all of your training questions.
Remember the only stupid question is the one you don't ask!
