Local carbine training?

[High Exposure 5,662]

I am registered for the S&T class on 9/14 in Bethlehem PA with 2 guys from work.

 

I will post an AAR after the class.

Hmm... Not a fan of signing up by sending a check to a PO Box. Anyone have any experience with these folks?

 

No experience with this facility, but Joe is pretty accommodating. Email him if you have concerns. Maybe he'll even allow you to bring a check with you on the day of the class (though this could be dependent on how he has to pay the facility).

That's awesome! Joe is a great guy and I'm sure you guys will enjoy the class. Which I could make this one. I've taken his very first official VSM class years ago, and I hope to attend his carbine class one day, as all my training to this point has been on the pistol.

I'm in as well.  Will be sending my check out soon.  

Also, I talked to Joe about possibly getting a NJGF "private class" together.  He let me know it would be possible and that its a possibility to use the range in Bethlehem if there is enough notice.  There would need to be an 8 person minimum.

 

Who would be interested in this?

To be honest I didn't ask, but I assume it would be around if not the same as the $150 for the one I'm attending next week.

Totally doable... I'd be in for a NJGF class.

[High Exposure 5,662]

Me too

[Lalo 13]

I'm out for the 14th, but would definitely be in for a private NJGF class.

What type of schedules do you guys have?  Only weekends, fridays a no go, cant do october, ect?

 

Maybe I should start a thread in the Meetup section?

[High Exposure 5,662]

You need a slide rule to figure out my schedule.... We can chat at class.

Yeah I'm in the same boat. Rotating schedule

[Lalo 13]

I'm sure weekends are preferred by most and would probably encourage more people to come. I prefer Saturdays over Sundays. And there is nothing wrong with taking classes in the fall. I actually prefer taking classes in cooler weather as opposed to 95 degree weather where all you do is sweat your balls off.

[High Exposure 5,662]

Yup. Add in an 8 day work week, 2 training days a month, and off-shift mandatory staff meetings and it gets crazy....

 

 

Yeah, spring or fall is the way to go. I also suggest looking into his 2 day classes.

That may cut down on people but not necessarily a bad thing,  

[blksheep 466]

I'd be in for this.

I'd be all over this if I can make it whenever you guys decide. Best thing to do is just pick a date & get it done. If people come & it works out just do it again later.

I would go to this.

[checko 180]

Ok, I'll talk to him about setting something up when we go to the class to try to get a feel for how much notice he needs. 

[Mach16lt 0]

Weekends work for me...

 

Also I can't do Oct 26th, thanksgiving weekend or the weekend before thanksgiving.

[jrfly3006 42]

Pending dates I would be interested also..would love to meet and shoot with everyone

lol

I might also be interested depending on date and cost. I've got a lot going on between CCW courses, work and hockey. I'd like to be able to use my rig though. I haven't yet used it in a class.

I'm a little scared now lol

[jrfly3006 42]

Oh Shyte.. Didnt mean that.. Thanks for fixing it ATech..im really a nice guy everyone..hello..everyone?... Lol

[checko 180]

Did you guys hear something?....

[jrfly3006 42]

[A-Tech 8]

I literally laughed when I saw it

[Old Glock guy 1,127]

I would also be interested.  And I literally LOL'd when I read jrfly's comment.  

[Russell 3]

I might be interested depending on the date.  Is anyone interested in doing a handgun course as well?  We could do that at EFGA.  There's not much room there for a carbine course, but it's good for a handgun course.  I coordinated the recent MDTS course there so let me know if you want any info on the process.

[checko 180]

Had a great day at the training class. I recommend Joe at S&T for a good instructor. Kept the class fun and good pace. I have some definite room for improvements to be made in trigger control and accuracy, but I think I can nail that pretty easily with more consistent range time. Something I'm sorely lacking in my current situation.

 

I'm exhausted so I'll write in a little more detail after good nights rest.

 

Was good to meet up with Rick (High Exposure) and a couple of his buddies, Mike, and Master Blaster (his name escapes me lol). Also Matt (I believe) the self proclaimed lurker haha. Start posting dude!
