For those of you that are interested, we have finalized out trainers for 2007. We are very pleased to announce the we will be hosting Randy Cain, Gunsite, Craig Douglas (SouthNarc) and Lt, Dave Spaulding. The details in terms of dates and locations are not set at this time. I am sure that you are all aware of Randy cain and Gunsite so I will not go into any detail. For those of you the do not know Craig Douglas and Dave Spaulding, wil will provide some detail.

Craig Douglas (AKA South Narc on the advanced forums) is an active narcotics officer in one of the Southern stateswho describes his course as follows:
"Basically what I've been teaching is a twenty hour course called Extreme Close Quarter Concepts that is an overview of functional handgun skills at 0-5'. We focus heavily on the context of criminal assault and lean towards a multi-disciplinary approach to problem solving. On Friday night I usually teach from 6-10 and focus on the criminal assault paradigm and managing unknown contacts. We move from there into some practical unarmed combat or knife work. Saturday and Sunday are full days with the morning spent on the live fire range and the afternoon working with FIST helmets and Simunitions. "
