Hey Okies!
Since the new format doesn’t have membership like the old social group format, I thought it might be handy to have an intro thread to let interested folks speak up and introduce themselves. Share as much or little info as you feel comfortable with, but if everyone could at least point out the area they live, and any pertinent info about where they shoot and what their experience/interests are it might be helpful for setting up informal practice sessions or announcing events.
I guess I’ll get it started:
Location: Edmond
Range access: OKC Gun Club
Experience level/Training: Low; Magpul Dynamic Carbine 1, Tiger Valley 1-day pistol, Aim Fast Hit Fast 2-day pistol
Interests: practice sessions/drills; training opportunities
I also shoot the monthly USPSA matches at OKCGC when I can fit it into my schedule. They’re starting up some 3-gun stuff out there I might give a try for some fun/extra practice.
I’ve had pistol training with Givens, Yeager, Suarez, Steve Moses, and shoot regularly in Will Andrews Pistol Skills classes.
I’ve had shotgun training with Givens, carbine training with Will, and basic rifle training through Appleseed. I’m planning on attending Givens instructors course this weekend and Farnams urban carbine in Dec. I attended the 2009 Tactical Conference at USSA and will be there again in 2010. I’ve had empty hand and knife training with Mike Janich.
I’m interested in defensive drills and gun handling especially with a carbine.
I’ve been trying to shoot more and type less. I’ve been reading all the regulars boards but haven’t had much to say, my opinion is usually shoot the friggin gun which isn’t what they want to hear. I still try to pipe in on technical questions or BS threads that catch my eye but they are few and far between.
I screwed the pooch on Magpul, I had really wanted to attend it or Pat Rogers this year but with the ammo situation we had this spring I didn’t go through with it. Had I known supply and prices would be this reasonable this quick I probably would have tried harder to make it. After reading the aars I’m really bummed I missed it. Maybe next time I’d like to see how my rifle would run.
Running some drills would be a good time I’m always up for learning and improving.
Experience: I am a CLEET firearms instructor. I have attended a bunch of schools but the ones that are shooting related off of the top of my head are a vehicle assault school at Practical Shooting, TDSA urban rifle, Magpul Dynamics carbine, Tom Givens/Rangemaster Defensive Shotgun, two day SWAT rapid response to active shooter course, one day tactical emergency medicine class from Komondor, and a Surefire low light tactics class.
Experience level/Training: Low/Average; Magpul Dynamic Carbine 1, Will Andrews Pistol Skills at H&H
Interests: More training and drill opportunities. I’d love to have a few more courses here locally (ie Magpul, etc) but am very interested in heading up to USSA or TDSA in Tulsa anytime. I’d also like to do a little competition shooting like IPSC if I can ever find the time. Outside of shooting, I am a doc here in the city (Doc Todd as Josh-L refers to me).
Range access: Not an active club member as of yet.
Experience level/Training: Unacceptable- a lot of pistol range time, no formal training, usually take advantage of any range time I can afford.
Interests: Wanting to get into running drills with carbine (or 3-gun) and eventually conquer the art of long range shooting. Completed Master of Arts in Criminal Justice Mgmt & Admin, currently processing through 2 different federal LE agencies.
I need to make my shooting resume more desirable (much like that of Sir Bratch) as well as perfect my skills.
Greetings. I’m not exactly a regular on M4C but I was encouraged to check out this area of the board.
Location: I am in the south side of Norman.
Range: I do not yet have access to a range in the area.
Experience: Low to moderate. I’ve taken two carbine courses and a pistol course from EAG and another pistol course from USSA. Additionally I took a diagnostic AR operator class from Dean Caputo. I also work at a range that’s out of state.
I would be up for anything, I really need to find a place to shoot outside and do some movement drills. Doing drills with other folks against a time standard of some sort would be great as well.
