Carry Trainer.....Mickey Schuch Parlin, NJ. https://carrytrainer.com/training-courses/parlin-nj-3/

Just read on Costas twitter page that Pat Rogers of EAG Training had passed. Sad news...never got to one of his classes but studied his ways via videos, literature and internet. RIP Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I've seen some of his videos, and they appear to be solid. I see that he is giving a three day class in Parlin, NJ June 8-10th, 2024. I'm seriously considering attending, but as that's a big commitment of time and $, I'm wondering if anyone has trained with him (Mickey Schuch), or has any other intel about his classes?

I would like recommendation for books, primarily precision shooting, concealed carry, use of force. Mods, maybe we can pin this and start of collection of recommended books for everyone to see in one place.

I have taken this class many times because it's good to get a refresher on some of the techniques, it's a chance to test gear under a bit of stress, and every time I take it the course is a little different. As an alum, I am able to take these classes for half price. The instructors this time were Vlad and Wayne, with Jim helping out. I find it amazing that Anthony is able to keep finding such solid instructors. The class began with each of us individually being time on our draw to first shot on a 6x6" target box at seven yards. This was followed by some timed draws for the whole group, finishing up with each of us being timed individually again. Next up wa…

Joe Riedy of Sights & Trigger is holding his low light class Sat 11/11 in Lehigh PA for any of you doubters. And for the elievers that want to make sure their shit works the way they think it will. Not a lot of outdoor ranges around NJ allow this type of training - so this is a rare opportunity to experience it. It’s a great class for low-lights noobs and experienced folks alike to get a chance to fight the “dark monster”. You will compare gear, learn techniques, figure out your switchology, and evaluate what works. I go every year and I learn something new each time. I will be there. Here is Joe’s class ad. It’s open enrollment now. …

So I was told, the proper way to ankle carry was on the outside of ankle. Said a lot of first timers and those not so knowledgeable carry on the inside of ankle . Your Opinions.......let's hear it and which holster is best.

I have been asked to run a class to prepare people for carrying a defensive firearm by my home range, Phillipsburg Pistol club. It will be held on August 6th, from noon until approx. 4pm. We will cover safe use of a holster and a number of defensive shooting techniques. The class will finish with running each student through HQC1 and a certificate will be provided for those that achieve a passing score. It is open to all, but members of Phillipsburg Pistol Club will have spots reserved for them.

Going to do a few posts on at home training including what you need, how to do it safely and cover some drills. From basic to some more advanced stuff. Really the importance is to focus on perfecting the basics and make it become second nature. It's important to start slowly, fix any mistakes, and build proper muscle memory. Avoid getting sloppy or lazy and developing training scars. Practice does not make perfect. Practice makes permanent. Only perfect practice makes perfect. I like to spend about 20 minutes a few days a week. 5 minutes for setup and clean up, and 15 minutes for practice. That's all that's really needed. Make sure you have a goal in…

Joe of Sights & Trigger is holding a concealed carry class on Sat 4/29 in Bethlehem PA. https://sightsandtrigger.com Anyone going? NOTE - This is NOT a CCW Licensing class. This is a shooting/fighting with a pistol class that focuses on starting from concealment.

Need a little input or maybe pointing in the right direction. I tried shooting the carry class at my range. And was unable to pass the class. I am having issues shooting past 20 yards keeping enough rounds on target. I am shooting with a red dot. But not sure if I have too much finger in the trigger or anticipating recoil. I am from south Jersey anyone have someone that’s a good trainer?

Any recommendations for a shot timer app for android?

Could you please recommend a pistol or mixed rifle/pistol class that will be: 1. suitable for mixed level shooters? 2. Still going to happen this year, August - September preferable? 3. Up to 2 hours drive from North Jersey. I'm aware of S&T classes but I think we missed the boat this year. Any suggestions are welcome. A bit of background, we have a group of 4 ppl, from a complete newbie to C level USPSA.

Tried out 3 recoil enabled training options for my Glock. Laser-Ammo Gen 3 Glock 17 with Green Gas (propane with oil), Laser-Ammo Gen 4 Glock 17 with CO2, and Coolfire Trainer with C02. The Laser-Ammo uses Umarex (Elite Force) Glock 17 6mm Airsoft pistols. These are Glock licensed products. Airsoft are considered toys and do not have to be registered (unlike BB guns). The frame looks and feels exactly like a real Glock. The trigger feels exactly the same. The slide is aluminum and the recoil spring is very light. This is a VERY noticeable difference to the real thing when you rack it and the reduced overall weight of the gun is also noticeable w…

If so, which one? Also, if you have more than one type, which one you like best & why? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

As the title says, recommend some training practice or drills. All levels. At home (snap cap, laser, etc) or at range. What are some of your favorites? What's a cool one probably not many people would know? Just looking for something new and different to try. If you know of a video, feel free to post or link to that.

I did not come up with exact answers from a search here, and Google initially brought up too many lefty anti-gun BS for me to sift through when I have a wealth of information right here. My 14 year old (next month) nephew has expressed interest in doing some target shooting. His father (my brother) thinks he (the son) will be less stressed/pressured if I take him. My brother thinks my nephew would be too nervous about impressing him. I know there are some programs geared towards this, but like so many kids these days he has a busy schedule with many other activities. He was signed up for the Youth Day at CJR&PC this year, but the bat flu had other plans and it wa…

Good morning everyone, There seems to be workout routines for everything these days and i was wondering if there are any workouts or exercises I should incorporate into my general routine that will help in the use of firearms? Things to build better grip strength or upper/lower body routines to help stay in the correct formation when shooting? I havent been inside a gym since the lockdowns and will be getting my workout routine back in gear. Looking to see what I should be adding. Thanks, George

What Laser Training apps have you tried, and which do you like and don't like? I have Mantis Blackbeard on the way for my AR-15 and a laser trainer cartridge for my bullpup pump shotgun and 9mm handguns. Looking for something that is fun, but that can also do the usual split time drills.

This is a good video for anyone learning how to draw from the holster... Mickey, you rock!

I always enjoy watching people in action who are REALLY good at something. In this case, it's a guy who obviously has put many thousands of rounds downrange. I can't imagine what the cost of ammo would be for me to get near his level, so i'll stick with my slow and steady pace. Also VERY funny @ the 10:40 mark when Mojo runs out of pistol ammo and grabs the other guy's Sig mag...even though he's shooting a Glock:

I've got my new Beretta 1301 Tactical shotgun all set up with a sling, an RDS, and shotgun cards for spare ammo. (I was going to add a +2 extension tube, but discovered that I could get a fifth round into the mag tube.) I'm looking to run it through a solid intermediate or so class. Wondering if anyone has any recommendations?

Wondering if anyone has taken a class with them? https://citizensdt.com/
