I'm pleased to announce the addition of Magpul Dynamics Shooter Aid 2 to the 2011 schedule. This is a fantastic course designed for first responders, MIL/LEO, and civilians who realize the importance of plugging holes in addition to just making them. Medical skills are an often critically overlooked skill-set for the modern shooter.
This class includes 2 days of hands on, classroom, culminating in a 3rd day live fire (graded) exercise.
This will be held at Douglas Ridge, located just 30 minutes SE of Portland, Oregon. This class is open to LE/MIL and Civilians. Civilians must have an accredited weapons manipulation course under their belt. Jill Reynolds will handle any vetting questions you may have.
When: October 1st-3rd (includes LIVE FIRE)
Who: Kerry Davis and Steve Fisher
Where: Douglas Ridge Rifle Club (Eagle Creek, OR)
Cost: 600.00 Dollars
Ammo: 300 rounds Carbine / 250 rounds Pistol
