Training Courses Essentials to bring to 4 day class?
- Thread starter deersniper
- Start date
If I'm driving in addition to what ever they reccomend:
1) pillow
2) coffee cup
3) spare rifle, scope ammo.
4) notebook pens
5) range finder
6) data cards
7) good shooting mat
8) active hearing protection
9) small surefire flash light
10) gun smithing kit
11) spare batteries for everything
12) cooler of water
Have your shit organized so what you plan to take to the firing line can be carried their in one trip from your vehicle. Don't be that guy digging thru a pile in your back seat looking for ammo when the rest of the class is checking zero.

don't forget a mask and hand sanitizer
Be proficient with setting and adjusting zero stop on your scope.
Take an ammo binder, I suggest this one that does 120 rounds .
Good sling too

A few changes of underwear and a toothbrush!

I hope that stupid BS isn’t going on in TN
Does this count as a “Ammo binder”
It's just tough to have in a backpack. Also, having a mag pouch on your belt you can grab from prone is a plus
I'm guessing you're attending the K&M 4-day course (my guess).
You will need a backpack, rear bag (Gamechanger or similar), a rifle (if not renting), and snacks/hydration. And an OPEN mind. If you forget anything, don't worry, Shannon will have the shop open.
This is what I bring to all courses PLUS my own field kit (cleaning, allen/torx/etc wrenches, etc), suppressor (may leave it at home this time), ammo binder, Kestrel, extra batteries, pen/paper/phone, mat, and maybe a sling. Plus personal hygiene stuff (if you're staying in the bunk house).
Hand sanitizer helps, many times it may be a working lunch (or not). Ammo, lead on hands, touching mouth... never a good thing.
See you there!

Charger442, I really like that 120 round binder but I couldn't find it. I checked Tab Gear, Mile High and several other places. A helpful plug for the source would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hand sanitizer does nothing to remove lead and other solid contaminants from your hands.
Wet wipes do.
And fuck masks.

Can bring those, too.
Liquid IV, a guy at a class gave me a pouch during a hot summer day and it helps after a night of drinking.
I should have specified if anyone didn't know Liquid IV is a rehydration drink mix lol
Fresh bottle of Jergens and a rag for the night after a full day of excitement
A camping stool or something to sit on.
We learned that the #1 thing to bring to a 4 day class was a personal heater unit, warm socks, and chapstick.
