Re: Anybody else hear this?
Thanks Frank.
Yes ARShuter, CVT has been sold by Vern and he is working very hard toward retirement.
As said by misguided, Vern has been having more and more difficulty with his back and really needs stay off his feet when he can, so he has decided he really cannot continue to train at his previous pace.
Current CVT status:
I had moved to Vern's area (Louisa, VA) and have been working with our new students for the last year or so. Things have been going well and we're currently booked solid into September.
Prior to moving to Virginia, I had been working with shooters using Vern's approaches at my various venues in Maryland for the last couple years while I continued to work my "day job". I quit the day job last year and now train full time. I have been getting quite a few positive reviews/comments posted over at MD Shooters forum in the
CVT sub-forum, my previous state of residence.
Technically speaking, I have indeed assumed CVT, but in practical terms, Vern is my friend and mentor, and even though he doesn't go to the field much anymore, he is still very much a part of the outfit. Other than new students being stuck with me instead of Vern, I don't see any major changes taking place as a result of this ownership change. We are still teaching Vern's methods in very much the same manner as Vern has conducted training over the years, which is part of why Vern had invited me to join him. We are still primarily working with students on a one-on-one/partner/small team basis and I do not expect that to change.
Hope this helps clear things up.
