Defensive Shooting Clinic-10/6/07 in Mansfield, MA

[Len-2A Training]

NE Shooters is running another (almost free) Defensive Shooting Clinic on Saturday, October 6, 2007 at Mansfield Fish & Game www.mansfieldfish.com from 10AM to 4PM.

Cost will be $25.00/person ($20.00 goes to the MF&G Indoor Range Fund and $5.00 to defray costs of Jim Conway and his trainers).

Participants MUST have a LTC (or equivalent for non-MA folks) or an NRA Basic Pistol Course Certificate or better. [These are requirements by MF&G.]

Maximum number of participants is 30, 20 NES/other and 10 reserved spots for MF&G members. If necessary, a waiting list will be setup and all participants must re-confirm at least 2 weeks prior to the date or they will lose their slot to someone on the waiting list.

All participants must contact Jim Conway/NEShooters.com to register.

This will be just like the one that was held in Westford on June 2nd, 2007.

Course Goals:

- Analogy of learning pistol skills so they become as common as driving.
- Importance of basics & their full understanding.
- Develop correct procedures and execute it smoothly.

should we bring our own handgun(s)?

 

[Len-2A Training]

Yes, bring gun, ammo (probably 300 rds based on last clinic), holster, mags/speed-loaders, mag pouches if you have them, ears and eyes. A ball-cap is very useful to keep hot brass from hitting your face.

Oh yeah, bring bug spray and suntan lotion if it is a sunny day.

Man, I would have loved to take this class. But I'll be working in Springfield at the Gun Show...

Special rules for DR

For this clinic, we have added one new rule because a good trainer should always learn from past experiences. And now the rule:
"Any part of a firearm that hits the ground is the sole property of Neshooters, LLC"

That settles it: I'm bringing a wheelgun. At least I can count on a revolver to stay in one piece.

And not having a mag drop and hit the ground...

 

[Len-2A Training]

C-pher, it wasn't a mag! He was shooting beside me and his slide was "heading for the target"! A video would have been precious!

Yours is the second request for another date (both from club members). I can't speak for Jim or the club, but if this goes over well, I can bring up the thought of a "repeat" (on a non-gun show date) with Jim and the club. No promises however.

 

[JimConway]

Wheel Gun

I hate to burst you bubble, but I had the crane and cylinder fall off a Smith 60-3.

 

[JonJ]

I'd like to do this as well but I don't know this far in advance if the date is good. Is there a backup list I could be put on in case it works and someone backs out? I don't want to grab a spot and then back out.

 

[KMaurer]

That settles it: I'm bringing a wheelgun. At least I can count on a revolver to stay in one piece.

Well, there's always the special weapon retention drill, where Scott and one or two other instructors hit you from the rear while you're reholstering. We've managed to collect several nice guns under this rule using this technique.

Man, you guys play rough...

[crak]

Sending email now. Hope I made the cut.

 

[JonJ]

What the heck, put me in please. Email inbound.

 

[medic12]

If there is room I am interested. Looks like the waiting list is the place for me.

FYI

Several of the names under NES Members are also members of MFGPA in case you need to make room for non-MFGPA participants.

Yup, but you can't launch the crane and cylinder 15ft down range.

 

[Len-2A Training]

Rich,

That was INTENTIONAL on MY PART!

I wanted a fair opportunity for MF&G members (that aren't NES members) to sign up. By the time that the other 300 MF&G members are "made aware" of this opportunity, all 30 slots would be filled by NES'rs plus another 30 or so on the "wait list". Since MF&G is hosting the event, I want them to get a fair shake at getting in the clinic.

That's why we won't be making more room for NES members by usurping the MF&G slots.

Two weeks prior, when some have to cancel out or fail to re-confirm, those on the wait list (from either NES or MF&G) all will get a potential shot at participating.

If this goes over well, we might get an opportunity to re-run it at a future time. I've been talking with Mosinm39 about it over the past few days. He has some other ideas that I like and I think you will too wrt training.

 

[ferretfour]

Len

That's fine. I just thought that since the 20 slots were already filled and I didn't any MFGPA members listed that the dual slotted folks should be moved to MFGPA to open the slots.

Have a good time.
