Paragon 6 VSM Basic Pistol June 25 in NE Ohio
The Greenport Tactical Association is proud to host Anthony "Stony" Smith for a one day, Vickers Shooting Method Basic Pistol Class.
Anthony “Stony” Smith is a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point. During his military career, he was an Airborne Ranger in the U.S. Army and served in 2nd Ranger Battalion.
He worked for nearly seven years on personal security details (PSD) in Iraq, to include being on the detail assigned to protect the United States ambassador to Iraq. In addition to those duties, he provided training to his PSD teammates in weapon skills and PSD tactics, techniques, and procedures.
Through his efforts to continuously maintain and improve his skills, he has received well over one thousand hours of formal firearms and tactics instruction. He has trained under some of the world’s best combat firearms instructors, and was selected to be one of the Regional Endorsed Instructors (REI) in the Vickers Shooting Method (VSM) as taught by Larry Vickers.
Stony’s real-world experience in a high-threat environment, coupled with his military background and extensive training, gives him a unique blend of skill sets. He founded Paragon 6 Consulting to be a leader and role-model in security consulting and tactical firearms instruction.

This is going to be a great class regardless of your shooting ability. Getting back to basics never hurts.
I still have slots available for the class. If you're waiting for the right time or on the fence, now is the time to jump.

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and the class.
Here's a AAR from the same class in PA last weekend:
