Re: Rifles Only Precision Rifle (MICHIGAN)

Have the local stores stock up on Corona,-'cause dem Yankee boys be a bunch o' screwups'.
I mean't to say "Those northern gentlemen could possibly, although the chances are remote, make mistakes,(I'm sure very minor)and pay the penalty".
 
Re: Rifles Only Precision Rifle (MICHIGAN)

We have too many small breweries that make GOOD beer to drink Corona LOL.
 
Re: Rifles Only Precision Rifle (MICHIGAN)

My brother and I are in for sure. We just sent Lisa our down-payments.
 
Re: Rifles Only Precision Rifle (MICHIGAN)

I hope there is a strong turn out. I'd love to see more training up this way for those of us that find it difficult to make the voyage to Texas.
 
Re: Rifles Only Precision Rifle (MICHIGAN)

Yeah, California has managed to make a pretty regular thing of it! They have another class out there from the November 5-9th! Just finished a class in CO, and there was one in Utah last year!


Rifles Only, coming to a range near you!

If you don't want to come all the way down to S Texas, get ahold of Lisa or Jacob and set up a local class!
 
Re: Rifles Only Precision Rifle (MICHIGAN)

Great opportunity for people in the area. Hoping to get them in our area sometime but I'll have to say that traveling to warm Texas while it was winter in NE was not all that bad

Rifles Only is a first class operation.
 
Re: Rifles Only Precision Rifle (MICHIGAN)

Well unfortunately with the short notice the wife and I won't be able to make it this class. Hopefully next time there is a little more of a heads up on it. Both of us would really like to do a RO class. We used up the last of the spare vacation time on a long range class here that WASN'T worth it!!!!!!
 
Re: Rifles Only Precision Rifle (MICHIGAN)

Eric, i can tell from HERE that you are starting to come down with something. a strange bug that wont really incapacitate you until Aug at some point, and only last a few days...careful! I hear it is contagious !
 
Re: Rifles Only Precision Rifle (MICHIGAN)

I'm coming if I can get my rifle ready... At the smith right now. Just out of curiousity, why did you guys pick Michigan?
 
Re: Rifles Only Precision Rifle (MICHIGAN)

We didn't pick it, it was organized by a shooter. He found the range and got it reserved, and assured us there would be plety of folks that would be in for the class. Don't know if he wants to be outted or not, so I'm not gonna mention names.
There is no reason why someone couldn't do the same thing anywhere!
 
Re: Rifles Only Precision Rifle (MICHIGAN)

Get ready to buy lots of beer. Jacob and his guys are top notch.

Re: Rifles Only Precision Rifle (MICHIGAN)

I really need to see if I can scrape together the cash for this! I need some precision rifle training.
 
Re: Rifles Only Precision Rifle (MICHIGAN)

Any updates on this, have my deposit in and got the acknowledgement for my deposit but have not received any further info.

Also looking for lodging info if you know of any bed bug free zones (reputable hotels)in the area let me know.

I emailed Lisa last week and she said they were busy with a class and that she would get the info out within the next week.

I ended up using points and booking a room at the Marriot in Holland. Looks like a short drive to the range.

Just following up to make sure you got the email from Lisa today...
 
Re: Rifles Only Precision Rifle (MICHIGAN)

Hey Niles,
I am one of the guys that helped put together the class at South Kent. I have made a few trips down to Texas and last time down mentioned something to Jacob and Lisa about coming up to Michigan. I knew there were people up here that were interested in an RO class, but didn't want to travel all the way to Kingsville. Looking forward to getting them up for the class. Dorr is a little out of the way, being South of Grand Rapids(20-30 min) and East of Holland(30 mins). I am from Holland and the lakeshore has a little more going for it in the summer than GR. Plenty of chain hotels in Holland, the Double Tree is probably the closest, otherwise South of Grand Rapids you will probably find some off US131. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll try and answer them.

Jim
 
Re: Rifles Only Precision Rifle (MICHIGAN)

Thanks Jim for helping to make this happen. I am looking forward to it!
 
Re: Rifles Only Precision Rifle (MICHIGAN)

Anybody know if this a one time thing? Would love to go but just can't make it to this one.
Also, who all are members to the range its going to be at. I see they have a 500 yard rifle range and would like to check it out.
 
Re: Rifles Only Precision Rifle (MICHIGAN)

This is a one-time thing. The club is open to non-members on the weekends if you want to see the range.

I will be helping Jacob with the class (not that he needs my help). RAK187 is providing the steel. There will be more shooting than classroom work, but I will have study materials and reference material on CD for the students and I will be available to discuss the calibration of reticles, scopes and ballistic programs, as well as Michigan law regarding firearms, criminal procedure, self-defence and the use of force.
 
Re: Rifles Only Precision Rifle (MICHIGAN)

Thanks for the info Graham. Unfortunately I can not make it. I do plan on making a trip to check the place out soon.
 
Re: Rifles Only Precision Rifle (MICHIGAN)

Bump for last minute details or issues, if any.
 
Re: Rifles Only Precision Rifle (MICHIGAN)

this is awesome- great opportunity for people up north to get trained by RO staff!
 
Re: Rifles Only Precision Rifle (MICHIGAN)

Targets arrived today. The steel arrives tomorrow.
 
Re: Rifles Only Precision Rifle (MICHIGAN)

i really hope ya'll can make it back to michigan again sometime.

to those going, im totally jealous. wish i had the time and means to make it.
 
Re: Rifles Only Precision Rifle (MICHIGAN)

Hmmm,

Maybe I should go over and visit my bro on the west side. It would be good to see Jacob and the crew. I owe them many adult beveages for helping me out and having great patience with me when I was just starting out and took the PR1 course down in TX. If this happens up this way again I will definately have to sign up. I may even have to break out the infamous "Finger of God" for the class. LOL. You all are some lucky bastards enjoy and soak it all in.
 
Re: Rifles Only Precision Rifle (MICHIGAN)

Dear Lord,
Give Michigan high winds, high heat, and high humidity during this course of fire. Oh, and instruct Jacob to require his students carry anvils and boulders in their packs.

Anonomous(sp) Where's the freakin dictionary when I need it?
 
Re: Rifles Only Precision Rifle (MICHIGAN)

Sorry to side track the topic but I have a question for you all...
