Hey folks,

I'm looking into getting some professional training and there isn't much around here. I'm considering the Practical Fundamentals class by Gray Guns: http://www.graygunst...ing.com/10.html

This class has received great reviews by Sigforum members and seems to be in high demand. They are considering offering a session in the Sac area if there is enough interest. What do you think? Can we get a MyFolsom intact class together (probably at Sac Valley range)? smile.gif


Classes for 2008: State-City Course Dates
Florida– Orlando March 14-16
New Hampshire- SigArms Academy April 4-6
Massachusetts– Greenfield April 18-20
Ohio– Akron May 30-June 1
Oregon– Spray June 20-23
California- San Diego APPS August 29-31
Oregon- Spray FUND October 17-18
Oregon- Spray DF-C October 18-19
Florida - Orlando DF-P November 14-16

We are working to bring classes to
California San Francisco Bay Area; Morro Bay; Sacramento
Arizona Prescott
Texas San Antonio, Killeen
N. Carolina Durham

Contact Don Wyman, he's a local who's a certified NRA instructor.
(530) 748-9799, dwyman@sbcglobal.net

We met him at the Sacramento Shooting Center and he really taught us a lot and we had a bunch of fun. We hadn't arranged for anything, he just happened to be there the day I brought my family to the range for some practice and he jumped right in and helped everyone out and even let us try his special big dollar target guns which were fun to get to try out.

You wouldn't believe how much better our targeting got after an hour or so hanging out with Don at the range - give him a yell

I think he's there every Wed and Friday

Thanks davburr. I don't usually go to Sac but I'll give him a call when I get a chance and see if he can help me get better. This is mostly a hobby and I'd like to try out some IDPA or similar competitions someday.

But this is also looking forward to years later given trends I'm seeing today: http://www.sacbee.co...ry/1185249.html

Punks do this because they are fairly sure that citizens won't shoot back. My buddies in Texas assure me that punks there are a lot more careful because they know that citizens around them can and possibly will shoot back. If someone attacks me, my family or friends, I may go down but I'm taking the punk with me.

Thanks for the great tip. Seems very well organized. The 75% discounted 4-day training plus the free XD sounds like an excellent deal. Will definitely follow-up on this.

OK, this topic wandered into professional training.

Is anyone up for some amateur practice over the holidays?
I would rather be Backpacking
