going back over my class notes for last year’s level I class (which was also in February)… i would really encourage folks to try to attend this one because it’s possible (I can’t speak for LAV) that you could get some basic low-light stuff, since it gets dark early.

Greetings. Do you believe the course will focus more on the carbine or pistol? Thanks!

11

The class is split fairly evening.

Day I - Handgun
Day II - Usually continued handgun training in the morning, then transitions, then moving on to carbine by late morning or lunch time.
Day III - Carbine

If anybody has any questions about this please PM me or contact LAV through the Vickers Tactical website.

Thanks for the reply. I have been hunting/shooting since I was a kid, but haven’t had any formal training outside of the NRA pistol course. I would love to take a course like this, but might wait for the Tactical Pistol. I saw that that was offered this year. Do you anticipate it to be re-offered any time soon? Thanks again.
