Ahhh, I see. I skimmed reading the dates and did not notice it was not the 9th and 10th and figured a couple spots had opened for the weekend class. I see now that another class was added on Monday and Tuesday. My class is the weekend one. Glad to see such demand in any case!

I have to say I look forward to the posted pics and AAR's from those who write better than I do. Bottom line: Very much worth the money and time. I'll be back for more.

I certainly had a blast and the hospitality of Larry and the other folks on the course was second to none.

Running Larry's gun was fun too!:smile:

I look good through all that smoke!

Oh, and we are now cleared hot to run VSM courses up here!

Is it legal for a US resident to bring firearms into Canada?

Team Casey Anthony, Because Pretty Girls Shouldn't Go To Prison

It was long but we were the only ones that did not get re-named by LAV... like Team Windowlickers and Team Shortbus.

I might have a few, or a 100, waiting for an AAR.


I guess I'll break down and write a semi AAR - I'll post it later.

Lemme know when you post it.
