Great class. It was awesome to shoot next to y'all! My AAR... --------------------------------------------------- AAR – Sepulveda “Tactical Carbine I” – 23 March 2014 Location: Shooters, Little Egg Harbor, NJ http://www.shootersnj.com Facility: This is the first time I’ve been to this range. It is a little over an hour away from me (excluding the wrong turn I took), but an easy drive. I have to say that this facility is top-notch. The classroom was nicely sized and the audio/visual gear was awesome. Shooters had a “training range” that was separate from the normal indoor range. We had the training range to ourselves. This alleviated my apprehension that we’d have other folks being intimidated by the training course. The training range is 25 yards. Plenty good-to-go for CQB lessons. Instructors: Kharis (teacher) and his RSO/Assistant Tara. Kharis detailed his extensive resume with NJ law enforcement training and, although she didn’t advertise it, I could tell that Tara was LEO (or former) also. These guys were primarily focused on shooter safety – which was awesome – and then on helping us develop our skills. I felt very comfortable shooting at this class. Class: We started out by getting everyone comfortable with shooting iron sights/”backup iron sights” (BUIS) at close distances. Optics turned off for this class. The first drills concentrated on getting everyone comfortable with their BUIS at close ranges. Since I’d had the opportunity to gauge my 50-yard-zeroed carbine at close distances, this was somewhat of a cake walk for me. The message was that shooters needed to know their particular carbine/rifle and it’s close range hold over. We proceeded to a hostage drill which required we do head shots on the bad guy while sparing the hostage. Knowing one’s zero and holdover were critical to doing this well. After taking the time to get several shooters carbines properly zeroed, Kharis progressed into the more advanced drills. Without getting into the details, suffice it to say that we performed two-man and one-man drills, strong side and weak side and – to cap it off – point shooting at 3D targets. Synopsis: I got a lot of value from this class. A lot of good instruction, but even more first-hand experience with my “kit”. I know I need to work on strong-side weak-side transitions with my sling. I also know I need to think about a “duty” or “battle” belt to wear over my normal gear. I tend to go into this type of course squared away, but after the first couple of drills look like an unmade bed. This tends to get t-shirt tails stuffed into my mag carriers and make it tough to reload. Awesome class. Looking forward to more.

I'm a member at DJM also, although I primarily shoot at SJSC. From what I'm hearing, Beerpong, the pistol range is planned to be open in Feb. 2013.

I'm interested in this class as well. I've done UP1-3 and Low/No Light 1 with GFH last year when Sente and McAloon were the instructors. This looks like a great opportunity close to home. I'm also curious if this is an indoor or outdoor range. Can't seem to find much info on Google.
