    There is a summer biathlon series mostly based in PA that used to have a single race at Cherry Ridge in NJ.  I competed in it about 6 years ago (and took first place in my age class), and I believe that was the last event they ever held in NJ.

    Edit - I think this is it:

    @dino71 - if you find something that is reasonably close to NJ please let me know.

    I would be interested too in something decently close to NJ!

    IMO, entry level classes have the highest ROI for most non-professional shooters because the basics really get scrutinized and hammered upon.  I showed up to a Carbine 1 class taught by a local guy who was in Yeti's CCE class with me.  He looked at me and said, "What're you doing here?  This is pretty basic and below your proficiency."  So I explained that I was there not for new drills and techniques necessarily but for him to find what I can do at a basic level to improve.  Knowing that, he put me under a microscope and sure enough, he had some tips for me about my trigger finger and foot placement.  It may not be as sexy as the shoothouse or team drills but investing in the basics pays off in the long run as there's no replacement for good reps.

    I definitely agree.

     

    Though I will say I made the mistake of thinking Joe's Carbine I was Carbine 101 when I took it the first time. I think I actually took that class with HE and checko. It was still a great experience but definitely higher level than I was expecting

    Another option if you ever need more in the future. I've used the Kytex holders for my Glock and AR15 in classes and like them a lot. Very low profile, quick on and off, and relatively inexpensive in comparison to some of the other options. Found them via a Kyle Defoor recommendation on his blog.  They're not always the fastest with shipping but well worth the wait.

    I picked up 600 last time and have gone through maybe half of them so far. Haven't experienced any FTFs in my G19 yet. I'm a big fan of the small form factor boxes.

    I've lurked here for awhile and forgot to post an introduction. I've learned a great deal from the site and wanted to thank you all for being so informative.

     

    After great recommendations here, Paul recently worked on my first AR and it came out great! I can't recommend him enough.

     

    As soon as the financial situation permits, I'm hoping to take classes and participate in practical shooting competitions. I just have to lock up my wallet or stop visiting slickguns.
