That sounds about perfect. Figure on an 8 A.M. start time with the class taking a lunch break and then stopping for dinner around 4 P.M.
Then picking back up around 5 P.M. for the 2-3 hour low-light section.

Glad me and friend from Boston got in on this. Looking forward to it. We ran the "Test" drill several times last week at a static range. That's 10 rounds from 10 yards in 10 seconds at a 5.5" circle. Once you get it try it one handed strong and weak. We'll practice the "Standards" drill in January just before the class.

I think no news is good news.
Some people were checking up on Prado range situation, and seems like the water is out of the range. I guess clean-up would not take too long. http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s...d.php?t=377285 |

Looks like the range is getting better. I've just gotten word we will be good to go for the class.
It might be a little damp, but that will not hurt the class at all. Have a great class.

Yeah, after checking the range this morning we were forced to move the class. Prado just would not be safe or equal to a class of this stature so quickly after the flooding. We had high hopes it would dry out and clean up in time and were told it would, but obviously that did not happen fast enough.

This is the reason why I had to make a last minute change as to the range location. flood is an act of God that prevented the training from going forward at Prado. I hate to have everyone including Ken with mud caked shoes all weekend and not to mention the sanitary concern I had with the over run of flood water and possible sewage. We are very fortunate that instead of having to cancel we were able to find an such a great alternative venue in such short notice. Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to a great class this weekend.

Even though the last minute change of venue was / is a major inconvenience for many (a friend from Boston who's arriving tonight after a snow blizzard there had to change his hotel and flight) I certainly consider myself lucky that the class is actually going to be held. Would not have liked a cancellation. Thanks to Chen & Paul it's great to know that the class is on!

SMGLee, thanks for checking the range and making appropriate change. While the new one is farther than Prado, I don't think training in such situation would be a good idea.
Besides, thanks to the gorgeous weather I was hoping to wear this. |

I started to write my AAR for this class last night but just too much other stuff. I'll get it done by Wednesday night before going to the SHOT Show. I'll post my AAR under the "Competition, Action Shooting And Training" forum. Suffice it to say that I was highly impressed and it was probably the best advanced handgun class I've taken so far. Ken's fluid presentation style, training experience and encyclopedic knowledge are superb.

I was going to contact them on this also. This is a pretty standard practice so I hope it isn't an issue.
