Thanks guys!

Thanks, guys. I owned a benchrest gun years ago in '06 (A Schilen Barrelled 'O3A3 that I kick myself every day for selling) and IMR 4895 was my favorite powder to load for it w/ 168gr Match King's. I was going to use that load as my starting point. I guess that my question revolves more...

Hi Folks! I have loaded metallic target ammo for some time, but never anything for big game. I am looking for a place to start in working up a hunting load in 30-06 to be used primarily on Whitetail Deer. I need not only specific data concerning powder type and charge weight, but also a...

Thanks again for the input. Gordon, that looks like a superb training seminar. However, our focus is to include everyone - first time shooters, small statured females, housewives and little old ladies, as well as the lean, mean young meateaters. That's why we are asking for input - so we can...

Yammymonkey, Thank you for an excellent post. I've had a couple of folks mention outdoor survival training to me. I thought it was kinda beyond the scope of what we are gonna do here, but I might just be wrong about that. I want this school to be seen as professional, ethical and...

Mauser guy, Nope! NO generators allowed!!! We're here to train, not party all night! Gordon, I've yet to ever hear a negative comment about Randy Cain. He's among the best - that's for sure. I have been corrosponding with him as well. I'll let you know if/when we nail something...

vasilia zheitseva, You are EXACTLY the potential student that I am trying to reach. We don't do "boot camp", "macho man ego trips" or any such crap. We want to create an environment in which our students do not feel intimidated, condescended to, or used as an audience for some guy with a...

USP_fan, 'Plently of logging trails to mountain bike on - but trust me, after one of these classes you aren't gonna feel much up to it! WTurner, Thank you for the input. Duly noted.

SturmRuger, Dave Blinder does a Force on Force class. If I understood him correctly, it is a one day add on to his basic pistolcraft class. I intend to get him here to do just that sometime in Spring of '08. Thanks for the input.

VARifleman, I understand - I worked 2, sometimes three jobs while in college. It's not a lot of fun. I would like to share something with you regarding the value of training: I had fired hundreds of thousands of rounds by the time I finally took a professional pistolcraft class. I was...

Soybomb, There are no decent motel/hotel facilities nearby. Would you then want a bunk in the bunk house, or would you be more of a candidate for a private cottage? Thanks for the input.

Hi Preacherman, That is an outstanding idea. However, the property in question is all mountain, and the only way in is a one lane dirt road going almost straight up. You cannot even get here without a 4X4. For students who do not have such a vehicle, we have a place for them to park about a...

Thanks for the response. In answer to your question, no sir, I have not contacted Mr Yeager. I don't know much about his training methodology or doctrine. I contacted the folks that I did because I have either met them or know someone who has taken their courses. I'm pretty reluctant to...

"too far from malls"? Yeah, that's sorta the idea. We want to create a world class training facility that is a bit more affordable than some of the existing schools, but at the same time still providing serious, professional instruction. Mall Ninjas need not apply.

Hi Folks! We've moved to just outside the Smokey Mts in East TN and are now located smack dab in the middle of nowhere. I have a range out back behind the holster shop and the idea of sponsoring a trainer or two has come to mind. I've contacted John Farnam, Dave Blinder, Randy Cain and Chuck...
