Vickers Tactical 1-Day Advanced Pistol Marksmanship Class - Oct 27, 2012 - Pittsburgh, PA

Eight mentally fatiguing hours on the range making each and every shot count. This course defines the technical aspects of marksmanship, specifically relating to the service pistol. Larry Vickers gives students his take on the mechanical accuracy of the service pistol, and what we can realistically expect to see in real world conditions. Students can expect extensive trigger control diagnostics, dissection of the principles of marksmanship, and challenging courses of fire that are anything but basic. This course is a unique opportunity to focus on the fundamentals of marksmanship, and further develop these skills in order to break through that next plateau.

This class is no joke. I was mentally and physically beat at the end of the day, but I learned a crap-load and it was a lot of fun. Bring your A game.

FYI: The Alias Training & Security Services website is now live. All class links are now hot and ready for sign-up. The current website is a rush job to get the current 2012 classes up and running. It will get spruced up and more elaborate over time. It will however continue to be 100% focused on the instructors and the classes at all times.

I would like to thank M4arc, the instructors, friends, and the overwhelming industry support for helping to stand up Alias Training so quickly. Trust me; I am humbled by it all. I cannot thank everyone enough.

By chance, is anyone who's signed up for this class coming from the eastern PA or NJ area, and if so, up for carpooling?

Grant,

I have only had one on one pistol instruction with various local instructors. I shoot on a weekly basis, but due to my crazy work schedule, attending training classes can be difficult. I have vacation that week and this class is close to home. But, if this class is not for a novice, I will pass until I can get further training.

It is a rare chance to train with one of the World's best instructors so I would suggest you come and do the best you can.

Drop me a line (PM) and I will give you some drills to work on that will help.

Does anybody have any hotel suggestions? From the map it looks like the I-76 and I-376 area has the better hotels.

We're at the Marriott Courtyard in Monroeville, it has a first place rank on tripadvisor and the gov rate is reasonable.

I will send out the class info email tonight. It has the directions, range address, lodging suggestions, restaurant suggestions, and required weapons & gear info. I am not sure if the lodging info will be any better than what is available in this thread, but everyone needs to get the email anyway.

Guinnessman, email me and I will send you the lodging suggestions as well.

although there are a bunch of hotels in the area, its probally the closest, cheapest, and cleanest compromise.

and its literally under 10 minutes from the range.

If you go just past the range youll see a Denny's , and a Burger King. Both within a 3 minute drive and on the same road. So breakfast before shooting time, and quick lunch options are close.
