    Really interesting looking class. Wondering if I can get away that weekend. Would we be staying in a nearby hotel?

    Shooters,

    I just signed up some South Carlina LE Snipers for this class. I still have room for some more if you want to come out and train on some hard to find land and hard to gain skills.

    I really hope you do this again sometime. It's just too close to ASC for me, I can't get away from the kids for a long weekend that often...
