JThompson Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) Great to have you guys... I took this class with these guys a few weeks ago. I learned more in that one class than I learned on my own in the previous two years. So far we have 3 signed up from posting here and another 4-5 by other means. Sign up people, this will be a great time... Both Travis and Max put you at ease. I thought I would be real nervous with them, but it never happened... in listening to them before we got started, it felt like we'd been shooting together for months. I was less nervous than when I shoot a match. The guys really put you at ease, which is a fundamental for instruction.

kgunz11 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 +1 on this class. I wasn't sure about being able to apply the things I learned in the class. I thought it would take months and months to be able to actually use this stuff on the range. Boy was I wrong. They have a way of teaching their skills so that they become instinctively ingrained in your technique. My very next match I was shooting better points and faster times. Even beat some local GM's on some of the stages. Go to this class, you WILL NOT be disappointed!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wrist has been so bad I can't shoot. Edited March 30, 2009 by JThompson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JThompson Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) When I took this class, Max spotted some holes in my index, body movement etc... I went back and worked on it and the next classifier I shot was 100% my first ever 100% btw, Just an FYI... I was A open shooting 79% Unless my math is as bad as my spelling, I will be M with 85.3. How's that for results guys? Travis and Max have a great package for dryfire/livefire that WILL take you up a class in short order should you train with it.

boz1911 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 First off Congrats!! Which classifier was it? I guess you're buying the beer. Second I can't get attachment to open. This sounds like a boatload of weekend entertainment and it's during a time of year that may be adaptable for me. Now for the finance part of it with the Nationals the following month.

little_kahuna Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I am definitely interested, but sadly, I'm am highly doubtful about funding for travel/registration and such. I read the miss. classic thread, and I am curious: does the same "free junior" offer apply to this class as well? I am working hard to shoot whatever matches I can, however I am unsure whether I will have the $$$ to get to this event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get a free slot which I will not be using since I'm the QM for the event. I also paid to take the class a short time ago. We have a local Jr, who shows a great deal of promise, I told him that he can have my spot, so it is going to a Jr if all goes well. I didn't consider you being so far away. Best, Jim Edited April 29, 2009 by JThompson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobMoore Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 (edited) I'm in, and I've convinced a friend from work to come as well. We're going to send out our apps this week. He's not a new competitor, but new to USPSA, with only one classifier score ( B ). Is that going to be an issue signing up as UC?

He's more than welcome. As long as he's a member of USPSA, he can shoot the match and take the class. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually... 7 if your guy and the two in the previous post make it. I'll let you know when I get the registrations. Max wanted us to call him when we got to 6.
