checko 180 Posted July 16, 2013 Anyone know of any reputable local instructors for carbine training aside from forum sponsors? I've already taken classes from a couple of the schools on here. I have no way at the moment to really practice some of the skills I've learned from previous classes so Id just like to take more classes. The places I've looked at seem to be few and far between. FYI local to me is maybe 3 hours drive from central jersey. Any suggestions? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stagehand632 0 Posted July 16, 2013 Have you taken gun for hires urban carbine 1? It is an awesome class. You lean a ton and it is fun. You practice tactical/speed reloading. Shooting while moving and reloading on the move. Shooting from cover. How to sweep and clear a room etc. check out there site or spa search for urban carbine on the forum here.

Theron 5 Posted July 16, 2013 2nd Gun for Hires Urban Carbine and pistol Classes. Also check out Mdtstraining.com Chris Fry runs a very informative, very hands on Practical Carbine class. Here is the schedule: http://mdtstraining.com/services.htm I've taken both and feel both are challenging and good money spent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

High Exposure 5,664 Posted July 17, 2013 There's not much local. I usually end up driving the 4-6 hours and getting a Hotel. For the calilber of instructor I am looking for to teach the information I am seeking, it's the only way to fly. Every now and then you can get lucky and VTAC or Trident comes through with an Open enrollment class. Check Sig Academy in NH, they have good stuff occasionally.

checko 180 Posted July 17, 2013 I've been thinking of trying to get a private NJGF class together but I have this funny feeling it would be nothing but a nightmare Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
High Exposure 5,664 Posted July 17, 2013 Logistical nightmare, but it would be groovy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
checko 180 Posted July 17, 2013 Yeah thats what I mean. I know how hard it is to commit to something like that where a group need to set aside the same block of time (let alone money). I dunno, I may still look into it and put out some feelers. You should call your boy Pat for a special event lol I can't imagine the cost haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
High Exposure 5,664 Posted July 17, 2013 The cost is actually reasonable. The biggest stumbling block is NJ's Firearms Laws. I have talked to Pat extensively about this, to no avail. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
checko 180 Posted July 17, 2013 Yeah i can assume he has no neutered guns/mags and would rather not be bothered with such. Think hed go for something just over the border in PA? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
High Exposure 5,664 Posted July 17, 2013 I took an EAG class in PA in Jan that was just over the border, but it was a .mil and LEO only class because the venue was a County LEO Training center and that was their rules. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
checko 180 Posted July 17, 2013 Well that don't help me lol. I guess I'd have to make nice nice with a decent range. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Holeshot 3 Posted July 17, 2013 I took an EAG class in PA in Jan that was just over the border, but it was a .mil and LEO only class because the venue was a County LEO Training center and that was their rules. This is what I have seen as well. There are also some great classes run out in York,PA too, but again MIL or LEO only. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrisfc923 14 Posted August 25, 2013 bumping for more options... i'd be up for a group thing... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
checko 180 Posted August 25, 2013 Id love to get a group thing going with a well known instructor but I imagine it would be a logistical nightmare to get everyone to agree to a day off (instructor included) attain a training facility, acquire full payment and have everything go smoothly.

acaixguard 37 Posted August 29, 2013 http://www.sightsandtrigger.com/Training.html There's an upcoming class on 9/14. Joe is one of the handful of Vickers instructors around, and he's an excellent teacher. I highly recommend him and this class. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikeyjones 88 Posted August 30, 2013 Could we actually get a NJGF thing together? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lalo 13 Posted August 30, 2013 +1 on MDTS. I think I've taken most if not all of Chris' classes and they rock! He travels around and has recently started holding classes at EFGA. All the classes I've taken have been at the Buckeye gun club. As far as a NJGF training class, only way I see this happening is if someone with some property, perhaps in PA, offers their land for the venue.
