I hope to see a lot of people at this class and encourage anyone within a reasonable distance to attend.
Mr. Barnsfather is an instructor of very high caliber and is responsible for 90% of the firearms knowledge I have pick up in the last couple of years.
Come to this class and if you haven't already, make sure you stop in his shop and look over some of the excellent custom guns he has created.

Thank you sir.
I am hoping my paperwork on my SBR you built will be back before the class so I can run it.
So will you be having drills scored on most shots outside the B Zone? If so I may do pretty well. :sarcastic:
O there will be a score and you will love it.

grrr if i only had a carbine
If you like we can fined one for you.
After the handgun class on Saturday I am looking forward to this class even more.
If people worried about gear I am sure Mr. Smith can help you out. His shop is like a little slice of heaven for those of us who love shooting. If he doesn't have it he can get it quickly. And he will make sure the gear you have is the gear you need.
Got 2 more students this is going to be a great class.

Time to polish some skill set... I'm in :D
Great that you will be there my friend.

Class is getting full, only 3 spots left.
I'm in Joe, need to knock of some rust. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
This class looks to really be shaping up nicely.
What does everyone plan on bringing to the class?
Joe how is it looking as far as experienced vs. Novice shooters in the class?

Most of the class has had some time on gun with that being sed.
I am not so certain that helps it is perfect practice not practice that works in your favor.
Most of us have run guns and we like to say we try to do things correctly.
In the end what you don’t know is what kills you.
Class from the VSM prospective is a step in the proper direction in my opinion.
Being a Lefty I usually run an AK variant, but have a BCM M-4 I'd like to break in and plan on bringing that to class, with a Krink Backup.

Great to hear. We were actually just talking about bringing a different type of weapon as a backup and Pro and cons associated with it.
I have decided to switch to my G17 as my secondary for this class but will be running my 14.5 inch M4 as my primary with a 16 inch M4 as my backup. My backup isn't the optimal Training gun since it is a bit heavier and longer but I don't foresee needing it either.
I am also switching out my optic from an Aimpoint H1 micro to a Trijicon TA44 Mini. Will be interesting to see how that does. Worst case scenario I can switch out optic and lunch.
This class looks to be shaping up nicely. I can't wait to see everyone there. Just remember to dress warm!

Looking forward to meeting all of you. I plan to bring my new Daniel Defense 14.5 inch Midlength to class. I just put another 500 rounds through it yesterday and it ran great. I don't have a back up right now so it better run. :sarcastic: Anyway, I guess I will be seeing you next Saturday.

After today I am confident you will win some.
Weather reports are looking cold. High of 28 with snow throughout the day.
Looks like I will be learning to shoot in a Shemagh this weekend!

Good it won't be swampy and muddy
We are going to find the one place that hasn't frozen over and make you go Prone there.
At least nobody will be getting heat stroke this time...
Just saying. ;)
