Thanks for hosting the class Rob. It was a good time and LV was funny as shit. My notebook runeth over with techniques, proceedures, and drills to conduct at home.

Now that I know what really works and what doesn't, guess it's time to start selling off my useless AR bling on Ebay or something.

Hey Foo, I'm pretty sure I shot next to you for a big part of it. Piston gun and "Foo-xxx" something on your mags?

It was a great class. Rob is beyond belief on quality and time/effort put into his hostings of these classes. I'd recommend his training events to anyone anywhere.

This was another thorough and very detailed course by LAV. As usual he explained the "how" and "why" of all the tasks at hand and performed them to standard.

One thing that was hugely beneficial was that LAV performed all of the tasks both right handed and left handed for the students.

In usual LAV style he was approachable with questions, and consistent in holding all of the students to standard throughout the course.
