This going to be a real fun class. I've been looking forward to it all winter.

Registration is now open to everyone regardless of club membership. I still have slots for either day but they are staring to fill pretty quickly. If you're waiting for the right time or on the fence, now is the time to jump.

I took this class a few years ago from Larry and I'm very glad I did. If you run an AK as your primary long gun, there's no excuse for not taking this. If you own an AK and occasionally run one, this is the perfect class to improve your proficiency with this platform.

GTA is a great facility. LAV+AK+GTA= A great training experience.

Folks, this is looking to be one of the best classes of the year at GTA. It's gonna just be flat out FUN! That's what we're all about at GTA. Exercising our rights with like minded people and having a great time in the process. I have a nice diverse group of shooters signed-up. All walks of life represented in these two days. So don't think you have to fit into a certain category to shoot this class. It doesn't matter what your level, you will have a good time and learn something in the process.

I've still got some open slots for either day if anyone wants to come down and have some fun. Plus there will always be the last minute cancellations, which is normal. Member or non-member, it doesn't matter, all are welcome.

The range is in great condition with some new improvements this year. Plus I've cooked up a few extra surprises for everyone. ;)

LAV + AK's = AGFT Don't miss out.........

The range is located at 5169 Greenport Ave. SE, Canton, OH 44707. It's about a two hour drive from Pittsburgh. There are also reasonable hotels within 20 minutes of the range. If anyone needs pointed towards them shoot me an email. sdenniss@att.net

I still have some open slots for either day, if folks want to come. This is really looking to be a good time. Anyone who has shot with me knows I like to have fun on the range. So don't be shy if you're planning to come out. :D We'll be having fun while still getting something drilled into our noggins...

I've got six (6) slots left for the Friday class. When those are gone that's all she wrote. How long they will last is anyones guess. Don't miss a chance to shoot with one of the best, especially if you're in the NE Ohio area.

It's gonna be a good time.

"Last Call"...three, strike that, TWO, strike that, ONE slot left for Friday and that's all she wrote. I can do a short notice stand-by list if someone wants on.
