Hey guys.....I have hosted courses up here in Brainerd since fall of 2009 with Jeff Gonzales of Trident Concepts, Larry Vickers and Louis Awerbuck of Yavapai Firearms Academy. Gonzales will be up here in October(www.tridentconcepts.com). Awerbuck will be back this August(yavapaifirearmsacademy.com). Tricon is a 3 day carbine course(2000 rds) and Awerbucks will be a 3 day pistol(700 rds). I will be handling registration on the pistol course. Cost on the pistol course will be $600. That includes a range fee. I don't have all the details worked out yet. I do have a listed started. If you are interested send me a private message and Ill send you my email and phone number.
Thanks,
Mike
Forgot to mention if you are looking for a 1 day basic pistol or carbine course a buddy of mine has his own training company up here in the Brainerd area. Class is usually about 6 hours and runs about $150. If interested make contact with him on here. He is Dave-HuldraArms. Timm Training is the company name. I work for him and we are both firearms instructors for the LE agencies that we work for and have attended training from the instructors in my previous post.

Hey Mike. Put me down for Louis' course, huh? Not sure about TriCon. Which course is it going to be?

Jeff Mullenmeister is running a few CFS courses in Pine Island. I took one of his courses last fall. He is a good egg and a fully competent instructor.
I've been interested in taking one of Sully's classes for a while now but the date just haven't work out. It seems like he spends most of his time teaching armorer's courses.
My brother's department has send him to TRICON/Gonzales carbines courses in Brainderd the last two years. He has nothing but good to say about it date. I will be looking hard at this Octobers class if it fits into my schedule.
I have not heard of them. Got a link?

For any of you in the metro area, the MN Horse and Hunt club has a small short rifle, long rifle and pistol range on their grounds. Membership is $350/year, but when you are out there there is typically nobody around and you can do whatever the crap you want without anyone breathing down your neck.
If you are in the Bemidji area I can get you in touch with some shooters. My family has a small but private range including a 500 meter long rifle which we run informal training on a few times a year.
Hmac,
Got you down already for the Awerbuck course.
Mike
Hmac,
Got you down already for the Awerbuck course. Do you know if Mark and Tim are interested in it again? I have 16 people down already and only room for 20. Tricon will be the Combative Carbine 2.

I emailed them. I'll re-email and express the time frame. What are the dates of the Awerbuck course?
Pm sent regarding the Awerbuck course
Hmac,
First week in August. If you go to YFA site you'll see a time frame that is reserved. It will be that one.
Helothar,
Who did you send the PM to? If it was me I did not get it.

I also posted in the MN Shooters thread but we (my training firm - not Huldra Arms) have several classes scheduled in the Brainerd area. Classes include handgun (practical combat style shooting) and AR training. These classes ranges from one day classes to smaller units broken down in to 3 hour blocks on weekday nights, we also set up private training to small groups or individuals on various topics, basic to more intense higher level or focused training.
Classes right now are based out of Brainerd, MN but we can travel for a group if you have a suitable location. Also in the future, Mills Fleet Farm is opening an indoor range in Brainerd area. This will be a state of the art facility and several training opportunities will be occurring there.
While some of the AR training is sponsored by Huldra/Fleet Farm, they give some prizes and swag, NONE of the classes require a certain brand or type of firearm. Bring what you have, if you want to try something loaners will be available.
Thanks,
Dave
Dave, please put me on your mailing list for courses.

Sent you another pm, did you receive it?

While I'm a bit south, live by the intersection of i35 and i80, I'm pretty interested in this thread. Controlled Chaos Arms is based about 30-45 miles from home for me.
I'd be really interested to hear training options available nearby.
m4c training meet?
Just say'n
Nice to see a demand for quality training in Minnesota!

TriCon Combative Carbine 2 course is full.
Thanks guys!
Just a heads up on training that Dave and I will be sponsoring. We will be bringing Louis Awerbuck (Yavapai Firearms Academy) in this coming August for a 2 day shotgun course. Jeff Gonzales(Trident Concepts) will be back for a 3 day pistol course in late September or Early October. I am still waiting on exact dates but will keep everyone posted.
I have also sent an email to Jason Falla of Redback One for a carbine course. Waiting to hear back on that. If we can't get a carbine course going we may switch the shotgun course for a carbine course. Awerbuck would instruct that one.
Thanks,
Mike
Sounds good Mike. I'd definitely be in for the pistol course and the carbine course.
Any word on training plans over the winter at Fleet Farm? Stewart also mentioned some kind of action pistol league?
Looking forward to Timm Training Summer/Fall 2013 classes!
Hmac,
Haven't much for plans yet at Fleet. We have a meeting of the minds on the 10th of December. Ill know more then. I m going to a combat medical type course next week there. Looking forward to doing that.
Ill keep you posted.
Opening this back up to see if everyone was still doing training for summer 2014, I would love to take a Carbine or Handgun course and probably have a buddy or two I could drag along. Saw the DE page and the Timm Training web pages but would like to know dates if any.
QSI will be doing a number of classes this Summer. Our first Defensive Rifle class will be on 3/31.
www.qsitraining.net
We will be hosting Louis Awerbuck in August on the 1-3 for a 3 day carbine course. Cost is $650. it will be held north of Brainerd in the Pequot Lakes area. Go to timmtraining.com. We are currently reconstructing the site but will have our schedule up soon. You can email me at mike@timmtraining.com.

Hi there,
We mainly run out of Brainerd but if you have a place and want to host we travel. We have some hosting options if that's something you're interested in, free slots etc.
We have an upcoming 2 day pistol course and had some courses already this year. With the recent sad news of Louie passing we are going to let those registered for his carbine course let us know what they want.
Shoot me an email from the website or call me and we can talk more if you're interested.
Thanks, Dave
