We went through about 250 regular rounds, and around 50 rounds of simutions. I have to give the instructor credit. This was not a class where you just shoot alot of rounds downrange. The class focuses more on Shoot/Don't Shoot than it does on shooting technique. While the round count may sound low to some people, I found it to be adequate. I attended a two day class at Sig Sauer in New Hampshire where in two days we went through around 850 rounds. That class was good too, just different.

CAPS was pretty cool. However, I liked the force-on-force simunitions training better than CAPS. One of the nice things about CAPS was that while some of the scenarios are repeats (you've seen them before) the endings are different. Meaning, the first time you go through a specific scenario, its a no shoot. The next time, everything looks the same, but instead of the bad guy putting down the bat.......he comes at you and you must shoot. Keeps you on your toes.

Sorry, should have included that in my original post. The class was at the Smith and Wesson Academy in Springfield Mass.

Just came back from a 3 day training class. The class was taught by Ken Frisbie (retired LEO). Great class. Covered the following topics: Shooting while moving Shooting from cover Shooting moving targets Close Quarters shooting Force-on-force in a shoot house (using Simunitions) CAPS simulator machine Class was a blast....literally. Had a great time and learned some new things. I would definitely recommend it.

I use a fixed 10X scope at the 300 yard range up in Cherry Ridge. No problems hitting a 10" bull all day long. Guess it depends on what you're trying to shoot. If you're asking what power you would need to see the bullet holes, I would say the riflescope is a poor choice for this purpose. The right tool to check out the holes is a spotting scope. Hope that helps.
