Good Beginners School

[blkside]

First I looked but using search brings up 400000000000 post with sniper,school or other key words.

When I get back from overseas I want to get some time in with some real shooters (no offense to NE1 here) in person to get some good hands on. Where are some good day and weekend classes? Im in southern california (well I will be again) and would travel within reason.

Look into GPS in AZ - I understand they may have some new faces but Bill runs a solid program

Re: Good Beginners School

Another vote for Rifles Only, Jacob has the gift of teaching.

Re: Good Beginners School

I am sensing a pattern but I would suggest Rifles Only. You will learn the right way to employ a long range precision rifle by people who know how to do just that. You will leave a much better shooter.

Unfortunately, some departments do have that training philosophy, selection criteria, and/or performance goal.

Re: Good Beginners School

I'll about bet if you talked to some local SH members they would meet you at the range. There isn't but probably 10,000 in the southern Cal area. I'm sure out of that many there might be a few standup guys that may help you.

How much trigger time have you had... and with what?

Rifles Only is an excellent school. Being half way across the country and on fixed income makes it difficult for me to make it to very many classes.

Re: Good Beginners School

Well Bolt.. I have been #2 in line to get picked up but not made it although I havent tried for long. Ill be moving to AZ to try and to be in a Free State.

What does this mean
"there are places that gain you LE certification towards degree....i'm just sayin...."

Victor... I will be in the AZ area and hope to have some fellow shooters give me long range pointers.

As far as overall trigger time.. I would guess in the 30k-40k range including rifle and pistols.

With this .308 I want to build up a little about 200 rounds mostly to get use to it. Havent even really zeroed it in. Wasnt going to until I got a good piece of glass..

So this is for all you AZ shooters... HEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPP

Ill be out there at the end of next year when I return from the Real Desert...

Re: Good Beginners School

Try taking a look at ITTS - with Scotty Reitz. He is in LA. Worked for LA Metro, and a SWAT instructor. Fantastic teacher. He is definitely on my short list of instructors that I respect and admire.

+1 with ITTS

Re: Good Beginners School

You are in SoCal, try FTA (Firearms Training Associates).

Definitely go to ITTS.

Re: Good Beginners School

RO is open to civilians. Everything that you see on the schedule is civilian classes. Military and LE classes are not posted.

Re: Good Beginners School

My goal for 2010 is to go to RO.

Re: Good Beginners School

BLKSIDE,
If i were in Cali I'd look into Scott's classes. Good guy to go to. I have been to a lot of his classes. I have shot along side some good guys. Look forward to it again.
