This will be my first true carbine class, and this is exactly what I was looking for before embarking on a two or three day class. Rocky Creek Ranch is a wonderful facility too, so it should be a great day of instruction. Thanks Stony.

Had I known about these classes sooner, I might have rescheduled my Tampa trip. Darn my luck...

You guys are in for a great class! Stony is a top notch instructor with a very solid background.

If you can make this class happen, you will leave a better shooter and prepared to that next rung on the ladder in your training.

If you can make it happen, do so.

There are still a few slots left. This should be a good one.
