The Pistol class is filling rapidly.... We have a maximum of sixteen (16), and the Carbine class already has four (4) out of sixteen.

I thought Sept would be a long way off....but these training opportunities are generating a lot of interest.

I currently have five (5) committed, awaiting their agency cutting checks. This course will max out at 10-12...so full committment and payment is needed soonest.

Thanks!

This class, as well as both Pistol I classes, have been cancelled. Larry had a conflicting personal committment that came up.

Please accept my apologies to anyone who signed up - Ron did a great job setting these classes and filling them so hats off to him - I tried my best but something came up that I could not work around

We will do these classes in 2009, time TBD, and I will hold prices at 2008 levels for these classes in PA

Thanx
