Had a great time at this event, and took a LOT away from it. Movers are one of those things you just have to try try try, and this class had us banging away at walkers, trotters, runners, stop-and-gos, and bobbers all damn day from 200-400 yards.

Round count was about 140, which was really only limited by your psychological endurance.

Having shot at mechanical movers @ K&M (which is also great), I frankly feel I took much more away from this class which was the old-school "target on a stick" method. Much more dynamic, realistic and difficult than an automated system. I did feel bad about the poor guy running targets in the pits all day though....a little....not that much, really.

Had a great time, learned a lot, and highly recommend taking this class.
