Just took a basic AR class from Timm Training, sponsered by Huldra Arms. Dave Timm is a great guy to learn from. This is a good intro to the AR platform; from learning the components and history of the AR to breaking one down and cleaning it, Dave goes through it all. He brings lots of ARs and accessories for show and tell.
Even though Dave is partial to piston ARs and to Huldra there is no sales pitch and he gives a fair, no B.S.,assessment to both DI and piston systems.
The range time is great with some good drills on shooting fundamentals; standing, kneeling, prone and transitioning. Dave even broke out the timer for some competitive style drills that added some light stress to the mix.
All-in-all, a good class to take if you are thinking about getting an AR or already have an AR but are new to the platform.a
Looking for an AR course maybe one more level in advancement from what this one sounded to be. I’ve been shooting ARs for a while recreationally and know how to maintain them but I’m looking to gain some tactiacl proficiency and skills.
Any suggestions for a AR course in MN or even western WI?
I don’t know all the details, but there are likely to be more training courses at different levels from Timm Training once the 50-yard indoor range at the Baxter Fleet Farm is completed in November.
Time is getting short, but Dave is sponsoring Jeff Gonzales teaching a Combative Carbine 2 course in Brainerd later this month. The dates recently changed, but it looks like it’s going to be September 28-30. I took it last year. This is an excellent course.
There are courses around the Twin Cities…I know little about them, but I hear good things about Sealed Mindset.
Especially if the Brainerd area is more conventient to you, I’d recommend contacting Dave, either by PM or via Contact Us at his website Timm Training.
Glad to see that you are interested in our training. Might I suggest going through one of our basic carbine courses when the new Mills Shooting range opens. Tricon will be back next year but for a pistol course. Hope to see down the road sometime.
Louis will be here in August for the shotgun course. I don’t think I’ll be able to swing Jason as it is going to be around $650 per person but Dave and I are thinking of putting one on. I received an email from Tricon and we are looking at the end of August for the pistol course.
Mike and I are going to meet really soon to finalize some details but it looks like shotgun is a go. We will get round count and information up ASAP on the web site so you can start saving ammo now. I think pistol would prob be pistol 1 but who knows we may get him to customize something as well. This year year is going to be a tough training year due to ammo.
Also, hearing your support and interest to take a rifle class from us is a HUGE compliment and it really means a lot to me. We have some ideas and it will probably be a reality for our first carbine class outside of the basic one we currently offer. This would fall in line more with other carbine schools, 2 day and have more shooting drills and range time then the basic class which is just that, the basics.
And on top of that Mike and I are working on developing the new classes for Mills range that will be 2-4 hours in length per class for those wanting to split up training and then can decide how long they want to continue. Similar to the IDS series that you’ve taken Hmac but we will also branch out to basics, women’s only classes, rifle, and then we are hoping others will join us for in home defense classes and similar as well. Don’t worry it won’t just be the Mike and Dave show
Hey Bravo,
Mike and I will be offering a 2 day carbine 1 course this summer. We are teaching this on our own but we are really excited to offer this and think it will be a great course. We also have some stuff that I have not seen in any other carbine courses as well as moving target drills. We may possibly offer a pistol course as well. Please shoot me a PM and I’d be more then happy to make sure you are on the email list. Also we will be offering some pistol courses as well. Don’t let CP2 intimidate you, if you can handle a pistol safely and have a solid grasp of the fundamentals you would be fine. I would be more then happy to help with training before if you’d be interested.
