Im in the procces of setting up a class with Aaron Roberts. I do not have the Specifics of this class yet as I am still speaking with Aaron about those. Right now the Class will be held in July (Not the Fourth) and will be two and a half days. I do not have a cost as of yet but I do not think (I use this loosely) that it will be over $400. I think we will be at about $300-350 each depending on how many attend. The more attend the cheaper it will be, but there is a limit of 12.

So far the break down will be as such.
TD1 (Half Day) Zeroing and Gear Check and Classroom
TD2 (Full Day) Pistol work
TD3 (Full Day) Carbine Work w/ some pistol (for transitions)

This is just preliminary as of now. Aaron will be fowarding me an actual syllabus for the whole course in about a week.

Please feel free to PM, Or Email. I am very excited to be setting this up and I am extremely hopefull we can get this to take place as attendance is paramount. If it becomes a neccasity I will post my Cell number for people who are expressing interest.

I just revieved an email from Aaron regarding a preliminary syllabus for the class. As of right now the class is scheduled for two and a half days. Aaron is suggesting that we change it to a three day course. Please chime in (those of you that are interested) on whether or not a 3 day course is doable. I do not have a date set but it will be some time in july.

Here is the Syllabus (Note that it will change slightly if the course gets bumped to three days)



1st half day
Meeting with discussion on:
Safety
Gear selection (slings, optics, etc.)
Fundamentals of Marksmanship
Ready positions
Mounted position
Putting the weapon (brain) and the tool (firearm) into the fight / Fighting Mindset

1st full day- Pistol
-Quick review of fundamentals, especially Grip and Scan
-slow fire / close range
-Tac loads
-multiple shots (slow splits) focused on accuracy / multiple targets ( how these are the same thing, but different)
-ready positions (how the mounted position the way I teach you to think of it will start to put the weapon in the right place regardless of where the target is)
-Draw
-Partner reset drills
-Both eyes open
-Count drill (start to shoot aggressively / not out of control) you will see one of the things I am big on is being in control of what is happening
-Verbal Commands when necessary
-Simple movement vs. Complex movement to and from target as well as laterally(box drill)
-Teuller drill
-Diagnostic
-Competition drill
-Reloads
-Malfunctions
-Shooting positions
-Barricades / Cover

The club URL is:

http://www.harvardsportsmansclub.com/index.html

My contacts are a little indirect, but should get you where you need to go. The guys at Metro West Tactical do all their IDPA out of Harvard. Tell them I sent you:

http://www.metrowesttactical.com/

If you end up using Harvard, I expect a course discount! :D
