    I need to get out more period.

    I also registered for a Pat Rogers 3 day carbine operator class in Arizona in March and the Magpul Dynamics pistol class in Colorado in June. Trying to get to the classes that are 1 day drives or less from here. Arizona is about 12 hours, the others should be a little less. My brother lives 30-45 minutes from where the March Pat Rogers class is and Dillon Precision is down there so I will haul a load of presses back and write off the miles ;-)

    Have not been to training (lack of funds and time with new wife and now kids in the last 8 years) since 98-2000 time frame. Looking forward to it

    Thanks!
