This was a great class with a great instructor and group of students. We had some range and wind issues but the former got sorted and the latter was in the hands of the gods of wind! Started out with a great evaluation course of fire encompassing various distances, strong/support side, single and multiple targets, etc. As Jason said it's all about gun handling. His method revolves around gun handling, economies of motion and other efficiencies. Some of these efficiencies are applicable to other types of firearms. We ended the last day with a great course of fire encompassing 2-hits at steel at 245, 275, 350, 125 and 200 yards with the carbine and the last two steel also with 2 rounds each with a pistol. Good bit of running, positional shooting, followed by CQB targets and one prone support side to distance.

Note: Appreciate it if someone could list the evaluation course of fire so that we can practice on our own.

This was my second class with Jason (last one was the Intermediate Pistol in November and saw many of the same students from that class in this one).

RB1 two day adv carbine class , was a great class.

Jason is an excellent instructor and his methods of teaching are sound and developed through real world experience.

It was one of the best classes I have taken so far, if not the best.

Highly recommend RB1 to any of the Civies, mil and leo's.

like Jason would say " good on ya mate: lol

On top of everything else you walked away with I'm glad to see that cert is going on the wall :)

He is an excellent instructor. For being probably the most bad a$$ instructor I have ever met he is a very down to earth, personable guy and an incredible instructor. Managing 20+ shooters with ease. It is always nice to learn from instructors with real life experience.

Jason has a incredibly high level of skill and accuracy. He performed all of the drills before we did so all of the students knew exactly how to do every drill. This helped everyone to be on the same page and move forward to the next drill more quickly.

We learned to diagnose malfunctions and understand exactly why they occur. This is key to staying alive in a bad situation.

I can go on and on about all I learned. But all people really need to know is that if you have the opportunity to take a course with Jason you will get your money's worth.

The communication of the entire Grey Group staff was also great. Sarah provided confirmation of orders and updates on any changes leading up to the course. SMGLee & Va Dinger coordinated the event on site and made things happen even through some difficult obstacles. We had a great group of students who made it a fun experience. I got to put faces to many well known forum handles and made some friends that I look forward to seeing at future courses. All in all things went well and everyone had a good time.

The shoot and move obstacle course at the end was by far my favorite part of the 2 day course. Even though I am totally out of shape and managed to fall flat on my face it was one of the coolest things I have had the chance to do.

This Redback One certificate is going to the top of my collection on the wall for sure.

Thank you Jason / Redback One for taking my skills to the next level. And thank you Grey Group for making this all happen. I look forward to taking many more courses with your fine lineup of instructors. (I am already signed up for Larry Vickers AK course in August)
