    Basic AR training in MN

    Just took a basic AR class from Timm Training, sponsered by Huldra Arms. Dave Timm is a great guy to learn from. This is a good intro to the AR platform; from learning the components and history of the AR to breaking one down and cleaning it, Dave goes through it all. He brings lots of ARs and accessories for show and tell.

    Even though Dave is partial to piston ARs and to Huldra there is no sales pitch and he gives a fair, no B.S.,assessment to both DI and piston systems.

    The range time is great with some good drills on shooting fundamentals; standing, kneeling, prone and transitioning. Dave even broke out the timer for some competitive style drills that added some light stress to the mix.

    All-in-all, a good class to take if you are thinking about getting an AR or already have an AR but are new to the platform.a

    Yes. And I had the pleasure of driving through that nice little storm cell on the way home. Enjoyed the class and will recommend it to others.

    Thanks again Dave.

    Looking for an AR course maybe one more level in advancement from what this one sounded to be. I've been shooting ARs for a while recreationally and know how to maintain them but I'm looking to gain some tactiacl proficiency and skills.

    Any suggestions for a AR course in MN or even western WI?

    I don't know all the details, but there are likely to be more training courses at different levels from Timm Training once the 50-yard indoor range at the Baxter Fleet Farm is completed in November.

    Time is getting short, but Dave is sponsoring Jeff Gonzales teaching a Combative Carbine 2 course in Brainerd later this month. The dates recently changed, but it looks like it's going to be September 28-30. I took it last year. This is an excellent course.

    There are courses around the Twin Cities...I know little about them, but I hear good things about Sealed Mindset.

    Especially if the Brainerd area is more conventient to you, I'd recommend contacting Dave, either by PM or via Contact Us at his website Timm Training.

    Thanks, Hmac. I'll be sure to look into those options.

    Congrats. I'd be interested in a Combat Carbine 1 when it's offered. I have no "official" carbine training so I should probably start there.

    BravoHotel,

    Glad to see that you are interested in our training. Might I suggest going through one of our basic carbine courses when the new Mills Shooting range opens. Tricon will be back next year but for a pistol course. Hope to see down the road sometime.
