INTRODUCTION- The PSR-1 course is designed to train the Shooter and Observer in the fundamentals of marksmanship, be able to manipulate their scope, and record all data for evaluation. Each pair will be trained to be shooter and observer and will rotate duties so that each will be effective in either role, students will engage paper and steel targets out to 600yds. The course will consist of 6 hours of class room instruction, and approx. 20 hours of range time. This is a very high paced course; there will not be a lot of time to waste with all that I want to accomplish in the two days. Come prepared to work, learn and shoot!!

Re: 3 day Precision Scoped Rifle I - N.C. May 19-21

I updated the round count for the class, you will now need 350rds for the class. This based on my last 3 day course and everyone pretty much shot 300+ rounds.
 
Re: 3 day Precision Scoped Rifle I - N.C. May 19-21

With the 2 day PSR-2 being ALREADY full, I'll just B/G go and shoot the May PSR-1 again. This past January's class was awesome.
 
Re: 3 day Precision Scoped Rifle I - N.C. May 19-21

Hey Dave
Sorry you missed the registration for the PSR 2, it filled up fast but I will schedule another in the summer and fall.

BTT
 
Re: 3 day Precision Scoped Rifle I - N.C. May 19-21

Sean,
Are we going to learn to jump out of palm trees, tunnel under them bunkers with a bayonet in our teeth, grab 'em by the hair o' the head and holler "Gung Ho", like you?
 
Re: 3 day Precision Scoped Rifle I - N.C. May 19-21

Ok there seems to be alot of people looking at this post but no one is signing up? Is there an alternate date that people would like to see this course done? If you have a time or date just PM me and I will see what date I get the most and change it.

Or would a 2 day course on the 21/22 be better? I can also do June 16-18 for a 3 day and just reschedule this class. Let me know what works for people so I can make changes, my first 3 day course was completely full and went really well, I would like to do another one.

 
Re: 3 day Precision Scoped Rifle I - N.C. May 19-21

Wish I was free it's always great to get down there and shoot some of the drills Sean lays out for the course. If your riding the fence you'll be happy taking any of the courses Sean puts on. Just don't be the last one in line at the sub shack on Saturday, that is unless your a fast eater.
 
Re: 3 day Precision Scoped Rifle I - N.C. May 19-21

Sean,
I'm in. Jeff with his Underground Skunkworks 'machine',will probably come with me.
Dave June 16-18th
 
Re: 3 day Precision Scoped Rifle I - N.C. May 19-21

Sean- I'm seeing if I can confirm the June date with a couple of my shooting buddies. One question came up... do you offer a certificate that someone could count towards specialized training for their dept./resume?

Not for me of course... you know how I shoot, I expect no certificates

Re: 3 day Precision Scoped Rifle I - N.C. May 19-21

I can give a certificate but its kind of like giving the "Guarentee on the box" from the movie Tommy Boy.

I have given Certs in the past but Officers never seem to be impressed with what I give them? I don't know if they want a list of the training and hours recieved or what? If someone wants a Cert they are going to have to tell me what they need or what their Dept requires to get credit.

My Dept doesn't give us squat for training other than making a copy and sticking it in your file, so have your buddy email me or PM me and I can get something or give him what he needs.

I can get a good look at a steak by sticking my head up a bulls ass, but if a guarentee is what you want, then how about you shake my hand and take my word for it.
 
Re: 3 day Precision Scoped Rifle I - N.C. May 19-21

Funny stuff man!

I'll shoot him your email.

Thanks!
 
Re: 3 day Precision Scoped Rifle I - N.C. May 19-21

Sean, the certificates should have the date of completion, the number of hours the person attended for completion, the location of the training, the name of the student, and the signature of the instructor. The certificate should also look like a certificate and not a picture with writing on the front. I can send some examples of certificates I have from NC, just let me know.
Perry Knust - (PSR1 October 2010)
 
Re: 3 day Precision Scoped Rifle I - N.C. May 19-21

I will re-evaluate it and come up with something to give out. I will PM you Perry, thanks for the info.
 
Re: 3 day Precision Scoped Rifle I - N.C. May 19-21

Send my three to the house.lol Crap never mind, I forgot if you can't hit anything you don't get one.
 
Re: 3 day Precision Scoped Rifle I - N.C. May 19-21

Man I'd love to go to this!
 
Re: 3 day Precision Scoped Rifle I - N.C. May 19-21

Sean- I don't think I'll be able to make this one. The new June date is Father's Day weekend.

I'm bumming too because I wanted you to see how my rifle is shooting after Mark did some work to it. It is shooting ridiculously precise now.
 
Re: 3 day Precision Scoped Rifle I - N.C. May 19-21

Since this falls on Fathers Day weekend I will tell you how to sell it to the family.!!

You will be spending Thrus- Sat getting to do what you Love which is of course, SHOOTING!! Then you will be home on Sunday (Fathers Day) in which you will be living in the lap of luxury with your kids and wife serving you breakfast in bed to start your day.

Since you had such a hard 3 days of shooting, they will need to continue to bring you beers throughout the day (while you set your fat ass in your most comfortable chair watching TV) till you pass out in your own sweet bliss cause your wife took care of your every need. (That would be that she sex'd you up) Completing the Ultimate Father's Day Weekend!!

The End

What could be better? Ok, well I can only think if your wife added a really hot friend to the mix? That might make it better?
 
Re: 3 day Precision Scoped Rifle I - N.C. May 19-21

Sean,
I told you I'd get Jeff to attend. He's the worst spotter "that ever spit between two teeth", but he shoots gooood.
