guys, for the money you're better off with a 2 day class. trust me you'll learn more than you already know about each gun.
as for needing a SG, since I will be there I'll add another RNT-M1, an 870, an RNT-Nova or 2, for those that do not have a SG but want to take the class.
take the hint!!!

I don't think it's about the money or thinking there is nothing to learn on the second day. It's other things that people have prioritized, i.e. church.
I'd do a 2 day or more anytime, but Sunday's are tough for me. Sorry.

Yes this class is going to happen! I will be sending out some info ltter today to all the people who enrolled. The calss if full, but if you are local and want a last second opportunity, there is usually a person or two who can't make it at the last second. Look for an e-mail around 5 or 6. Thanks for the patience. Kurt

I am trying to get hold of Rick First. The e-mail I have for him doesn't seem to work for me, I am trying to send him the class info so if anyone knows how to get hold of him I would appreciate the help. Thanks Kurt Miller
Kurt, I think Jesse may have his number.

class begins shortly..........think of some of the stuff that you have issues with, if we do not cover it specifically in the class we will answer it at end of day.

Not an AAR, but an observation: I just delivered a holster to Kurt as they were concluding this class. I've never seen more smiles on a group of soaked, muddy, and cold sumbeeches. They were having a blast. Trapr, Mike, and Kurt were covered in red mud up to their knees! And judging by the post test scores compared to pretest scores, it sounds like everyone learned a lot! I'm hoping someone posts an in-depth AAR soon. Tony?
Yep, I plan to get one wrote up soon, hopefully tonight. I didn't have alot of time this weekend. By the end of each day I was beat. It was a blast & very eye opening. You definately find out where the holes in your game are. I'll get more in depth later, but for now :13:
Kind of a quick & dirty review:
First off, I’d like to say thanks to the guys of RNT. This was a great class & I had an awesome time. I feel I learned quite a bit & hopefully can use what I learned to step up my game. That part’s up to me. I was the star of the class & Kurt & Trapr told me they’re going to be have to settle for a place down on the list each time they see my name on a competitor sheet. OK, I made that last little bit up, but it was a pretty kick ass class.
They guys of RNT offered an optional maintenance clinic the evening before the training session. I’m pretty comfortable with the maintenance of my gear so I wasn’t too worried about making this, since I had other requirements of my time(T-Ball practice). I did go, just got there late, only the AR portion was left. The guys have been around the block a time or two & although I thought I was pretty well set on the AR, I learned a couple new tips & tricks (please don’t mistake this for arrogance). I’m just saying that although I thought it wasn’t that big of deal, I wish I’d not missed any of it. I definitely wish I’d been there for the shotgun portion.
Now for the training:
The first day started with a pre-test so the guys of RNT could get a feel for where each of us were at in terms of skill level. There were people of all ranges of skill in the class, from the new new beginner to the big match shooters looking to come off of a plateau in their progress & start making gains again. I never felt at anytime the class was turned up or dumbed down. It was informative the entire time & never beyond or beneath anyone’s skill level. Sure it may have taken some an extra attempt at a drill as opposed to the big match guys, but everyone was supportive & the instruction was fantastic. The guys talked to us in plain English, nothing that was over our heads or technical terms we may not have understood. There was never any arrogance or superiority, or talking down to any of us, & no question went unanswered.
First was rifle training, then shotgun, then pistol on the second day. Each gun was taught as an individual component, & then it was all tied together later. This was great, it made it much easier to focus on the matter at hand instead of bouncing around between weapons without any sense of direction. With each component we not only learned how to use it but how to engage targets with it. There are lots of “little†things that eat up seconds here & there. When combined, all of these “little†things can add up to cost you a huge amount of time. Also, the opposite is true, there are little things that can save time & add up to a large savings as well.
After the pistol training, we learned how to read & game stages. Combining all of the tips & techniques we’d learned, we ran thru several stages & were critiqued on the plan we came up with. After the critique, the guys told us how they would run the stage & why. This was not a "you did it wrong you should’ve done it my way" type deal. It was more of you did this but it cost you X amount of time as opposed to this. It was more of a conversation where you could defend the choice you made, no right or wrong. Believe me there was a lot of “crap I didn’t think of that", but the guys were understanding & supportive if you had a reason for doing it the way you did.
The class finished up with the same test we took at the beginning. This was awesome, we got to actually see the progress we made in the class “apples to applesâ€.
Day 1 was dry & windy with dirt blowing everywhere. Day 2 was cold & wet with mud all over the place. Even with the adverse conditions, I couldn’t have asked for a better weekend. There were quite a few students that came in from out of state & I don’t believe they regretted it either. If this class is offered again, take it, you’ll be happy you did.
