Gents sorry about the short notice- had a weekend open up so Paul and I decided to put this special 1 day class together- should be excellent; it is all about using cover and shooting while moving- from static barricades, in and around cars, and from moving cars

If this is a hit - and my guess is it will be - we expect more of these type classes but not till 2012 - if you can make it we will have a blast

Cheers

I know that I am seriously looking forward to this class.

Like LAV said this class has been in the planning stages for over a year. We finally found a small hole in the schedule to set one up.

I know you guys will love it.

As usual the Grey Group crew will be out in force for this one. :D

Just a heads up on this class in that it will feature ALOT more steel than I usually have in a class - in fact it will be mainly steel and those who have not fired from a moving vehicle will get an eye opener- it always amazed me with the amount of convoy stuff going on overseas why this isn't taught more often? Well here is your chance!

See ya there - it is short notice but well worth it to attend!

Cheers

We have a whole crew coming in from PA for the class.

I would hit up the FTT forum with this question as well.

Since there will be a lot of steel, should we leave the M855 at home?

the steel at the range isn't rated for M855 or similar types of ammunition.

Will M193 be okay on the range steel?

NCPatrolAR

Will M193 be okay on the range steel?

Yep. Any ammo is ok as long as it isnt AP or have some kind of penetrator in it like 855.

I'm sure others will chime in soon. I'm in the middle of a 2 hour drive home so for now I'll just say that the class was extremely fun and confirmed many things I thought about working around vehicles
