This class is for shooters who have had at least a basic pistol class either from Vickers Tactical or any other accredited instructor. State concealed carry certification classes specifically do not qualify. Topics covered include basic pistol topics and the following: malfunction drills, shooting on the move as well as strong hand and weak hand shooting. Introduction to timed fire drills and evaluations based on class skill level. Concealed carry methods are also covered. Night-fire will depend on time of year and range restrictions.
Class requirements:
• Eye and Ear Protection (electronic hearing protection is preferred)
• Serviceable handgun of at least 9mm Para caliber
• Serviceable holster
• Minimum 1 double magazine pouch
• Minimum of 3 serviceable magazines (5 is better)
• 1000 rounds of ammo – factory service type (no reloads)
• Suitable range wear depending on the season
• Hand held flashlight and spare batteries.
• Good attitude
Anybody sitting on the fence should jump on this class as I don’t have another class scheduled in Fayetteville in 2008 - I MAY do something toward the end of the year but as of right now this is it - my 2008 schedule is off the chart busy so don’t pass on this thinking you will catch the next one - cause the next one may not be til 2009
Bottom line; if Fayetteville is handy for you and you have been thinking about getting in on a pistol 1 you need to jump on this one
Okay, I got off the fence this morning and enrolled in LAV’s course. I contacted him and he told me that wearing my IWB holster was fine for the class. I do have a few more questions, but hate to bother such a busy guy with “newbie” questions.
Should I take a second double-magazine pouch or is one fine.
Should I hit the range a little more over the next couple of weeks to polish my shooting or just wait for the class (my pistol is already broken-in and high quality)?
I’m a jeans, collared-shirt, and athletic shoe kinda guy…and that’s how I CCW carry. Any reason I should not go to the class dressed like I would normally for the CCW/range (‘train like you fight’ comes to mind)?
Should I bring a shooting matt to a “pistol” class?
Both of those choices are great and in a good part of town with plenty of amenities. I’ll be sending out an email with details on the class as well as other lodging options sometime this week or early next. I’m still waiting on some fence sitters!!
Please feel free to contact me directly with any other questions, although this forum is answering most of them.
Dude, seriously?? I’m a VIP at Sharky’s. UFC and naked chicks at the SAME TIME!! I’ll even buy the first round and introduce you to some of my “friends”.
