I hope to see a lot of people at this class and encourage anyone within a reasonable distance to attend.

Mr. Barnsfather is an instructor of very high caliber and is responsible for 90% of the firearms knowledge I have pick up in the last couple of years.

Come to this class and if you haven’t already, make sure you stop in his shop and look over some of the excellent custom guns he has created.

3

Thank you sir.

4

Kwelz
I am glad to have you in class and I expect you to win some drills.

5

Thank you sir.

I am hoping my paperwork on my SBR you built will be back before the class so I can run it.

So will you be having drills scored on most shots outside the B Zone? If so I may do pretty well. :sarcastic:

6

O there will be a score and you will love it.

7

grrr if i only had a carbine

8

If you like we can fined one for you.

9

Class is half full.

10

After the handgun class on Saturday I am looking forward to this class even more.

If people worried about gear I am sure Mr. Smith can help you out. His shop is like a little slice of heaven for those of us who love shooting. If he doesn’t have it he can get it quickly. And he will make sure the gear you have is the gear you need.

11

Got 2 more students this is going to be a great class.

12

Hey! Who is the fat ugly guy near the end with no optic on his… Oh wait. That is me. Doh!

13

Don’t be so hard on yourself bro.

14

Time to polish some skill set… I’m in :smiley:

15

Great that you will be there my friend.

16

Class is getting full, only 3 spots left.

17

I’m in Joe, need to knock of some rust. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

18

This class looks to really be shaping up nicely.
What does everyone plan on bringing to the class?

Joe how is it looking as far as experienced vs. Novice shooters in the class?

19

Most of the class has had some time on gun with that being sed.
I am not so certain that helps it is perfect practice not practice that works in your favor.
Most of us have run guns and we like to say we try to do things correctly.
In the end what you don’t know is what kills you.

Class from the VSM prospective is a step in the proper direction in my opinion.

20

Being a Lefty I usually run an AK variant, but have a BCM M-4 I’d like to break in and plan on bringing that to class, with a Krink Backup.
