Classes upcoming in Bozeman area

FYI, from Steve Jaegers -

Hey Shooters!!
We have worked out a deal with Suarez International Training to come up to Montana to teach some of their gun fighting classes. The classes are being held at a private range just west of Three Forks in April, May and July. As you may know, the greatest expense in taking a top level training class is not the tuition or ammo costs, it’s the travel and lodging. By bringing them here to Montana we reduce the amount of time away from work, and the travel and lodging expenses.

The range has 1000+ yards available and plenty of room to run and move. If we can get these classes populated with at least 10 people, we can expect Suarez to make this a regular stop, and more advanced classes will find their way here. You will be allowed to camp on the range if you’d like. There is a porta potty on site and Three Forks is only a few miles down the road.

I have asked Gary if he would forward this to the MTSSA membership, and he has graciously agreed. We are a relatively small but active group of shooters who actually seek to better themselves with regular training, competition and testing our equipment Over the last 2-3 years I have worked hard to develop a relationship with Suarez International.

Suarez is a fight based gun training company that pushes the boundaries and tests the old square range theories on gun fighting. Thru these tests they have discovered that many of the “modern technique” dogmas are not only ineffective in a gunfight, but can get you killed!! Far from a diploma mill that treats students like cattle in their quest for dollars, SI seeks to develop a relationship with its students where each has something to teach the other. Their discussion forums can be found at http://www.warriortalk.com/ . Take some time to read thru some of the pinned topics and browse around.

I have high hope for all of you, and the future of classes coming to Bozeman of this caliber really depends on you to a large degree. Tell your buddies about this, even if you can only get one to show up, that is a huge victory. Here is the class info on the three classes we have scheduled for 2010 so far.

SW Montana upcoming classes.
April 24-25. Close Range Gunfighting < http://www.suarezinternationalstore.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=826 >
May 1-2. AK Rifle Gunfighting < http://www.suarezinternationalstore.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=827 >
July 17-18. Point shooting Progressions < http://www.suarezinternationalstore.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=840 >

CRG= Close range gunfighting. Covers conflicts at close ranges with the pistol. we will explore dynamic movement and aggressive close range techniques

PSP= Point shooting progressions. Roger Philips is about the only person in the country who has taken the old point shooting techniques and moved them into the modern age, added movement and the typical Suarez flair for busting the modern technique myths and inserting fight reality.

AK Rifle Gunfighting class will teach you to run the AK like it was intended. With techniques pulled from the Russian spetznaz and the Russian martial art, you’ll leave with a much greater appreciation of the abilities of the AK and no longer see it as an awkward implement for the conscript. Even if you do not have an AK, this class will teach you valuable skills to fight with a rifle. Bring your SKS or AR if you want!!

Here’s the full Suarez schedule… http://www.suarezinternational.com/tech.html

I am acting as the host for these classes, so if you need any information, then please let me know. All classes are being held at the Samuel Whitamore private range just west and south of Three Forks MT. I look forward to seeing you at the shoots. Get signed up ASAP as the classes will get canceled if there is not enough participation. Ill let you know if we get anything else scheduled.

If you need any ammo. I am a stocking dealer for Hunting Shack, and may have what you need in stock. Just call me or check out the web store at www.performanceammo.com

NOTE: if you cant get paid up in full then call the office directly and get them a deposit to reserve your spot. You will have up until 30 days prior to the actual shoot to get paid in full. Gabe is really good about this, and Us 1%ers need to get all the training we can now while we still can.

Thanks
