The weekend of August 26-28th will be a 1-day VSM Basic pistol followed by a two-day Paragon 6 applied pistol. The next weekend, September 2-4th is open at this point. If enough people are interested in a class other than the pistol offering and would like to take it on the second, we will have whichever course gets the most interest at that time. All of them are taught by Stony Smith but only the basic carbine and pistol courses carry the VSM name.

Anthony “Stony” Smith is a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point. During his military career, he was an Airborne Ranger in the U.S. Army and served in 2nd Ranger Battalion.

He worked for nearly seven years on personal security details (PSD) in Iraq, to include being on the detail assigned to protect the United States ambassador to Iraq. In addition to those duties, he provided training to his PSD teammates in weapon skills and PSD tactics, techniques, and procedures.

Through his efforts to continuously maintain and improve his skills, he has received well over one thousand hours of formal firearms and tactics instruction. He has trained under some of the world’s best combat firearms instructors, and was selected to be one of the Regional Endorsed Instructors (REI) in the Vickers Shooting Method (VSM) as taught by Larry Vickers.

I'd like to clarify that if a student signs up for Basic Pistol and the Applied Pistol 1 class, they pay the multi-day rate of $175/day for both classes and not $200 for Basic and $175/day for Applied Pistol.

They will receive two certificates.

Basic Pistol is a prerequisite for Applied Pistol 1.
