We're certainly not at the pay stage. I just wanted to see if there were folks on here interested in formal training. If there are, I'd be more than happy to help in getting something going. Company info is below. Again, no details on the when, where, how ... Just want to get some very rough (possible) head count (to speak with them about). Telluric Group http://www.telluricgroup.com/

Most of the people I know would have been outta there around '95. fugg! Am I getting that old? :-)

I know a bunch of people from Cranford. You go to Cranford HS?

Hmmmm. Had promise but I think DeNiro is now a zombie sympathizer. Wouldn't know it from that role however.

Not cool. You know how many strings I had to pull to get my hands on those limited run Black Hills 77gr loads? Those are the real zombie stoppers.

Speaking of which ... Where is UPS with my damn Cheaper than Dirt order???

Roger that. Not concerned. I'm confident in knowing the government can/will protect us all when the un-dead emerge.

Structure and topics would likely be dictated by attendees, meaning it can be designed for novice shooters ... or all the way up to pro "team" (LE/MIL). Depending on interest and objectives, pretty much anything could be covered (from marksmanship to CQB, communication, movement, shoot no-shoot, hostage rescue, low-light ops, you name it). The only real determining factors are the qualifications and skill set of the prospective attendees.

Brand new to the forums ... Just reaching out to those who may have an interest. I've spoken to some out-of-state contacts who presently own/operate a multi-disciplinary tactical training company. Good group of guys who all earned their stripes at Robin Sage. I’ve had the good fortune to take a class with them, and I got a lot out of it. We got to talking and they expressed interest in conducting a carbine/pistol course up this way. They have the capabilities to run both restricted and open-enrollment courses (depending on student qualifications and interest, this could translate to garden-variety instruction or more specialized tactical concepts). I just wanted to throw this out to the community to gauge interest. Feel free to ask questions … And do let me know if this is something you’d like to participate in (both CIV and LE welcome). Cheers, Ronky P.S. - See you in Vegas

New kid in town (forum I mean). Work, live and play in Union, Hudson and Essex counties. Glad there are like-minded folks in the Garden State. For those into the tactical side of things (as I tend to be), keep an eye out for my upcoming post. I may be putting together a tactical class with some snake-eaters I've had the good fortune to meet and train with in the past. If anyone here has interest in that sort of thing, please feel free to drop me a line. Cheers, Ronky

I'm from here. I just attended college up in Vermont. The snow compelled me to go there, but I was born and raised in Union County, NJ. Work in Jersey City, live in Nutley. On another note, I spoke with some training contacts of mine today. They are interested in my hosting a tactical carbine/pistol class up this way. Long story short, I did a night vision operations course with them this summer and we got to talking. I had mentioned that any time I'm looking for top-level instruction (SF, CAG, NSW, etc), it seems I have to travel out-of-state. They offered to caravan up here, gear in tow, provided I could get enough studens together for a class. It sounds like you're plugged in on this forum ... If I throw a feeler out there, you think some of the members may have interest in attending a two or three day tactical class?

That's a lot of posts to read through. Are these truly groups of organized defense? Or is it more tongue in cheek? Hope the militia men are vetted for weapons handling skills. Don't want to get flagged on the 1st day the dead start walking up and down the parkway (which, based on Europe's economic news, could happen in the near future).

Shooting in VT is way cool. Like I said, we used to load up on weekends and head out to some farmer's ranch. The "membership fee" was a case of beer we dropped off at the guy's front door prior to heading out on his property. We ran all sorts of goodies out there, everything from Class 3 on down. It was a real great time. Best part was, this guy had so much land, there was never an issue with neighbors or noise. Ahhhh, college. Yeah, I know St. Albans. I had a few friends that were from there. It's north of Burlington, if I'm not mistaken. You should head up there for New Years. And don't forget to stop by Nectar's for some gravy fries. They changed their appearance, fyi. No more deli-type counter. Fries are still great though.

Lived in Burlington. Grad from UVM. Actually, was up there this past weekend. Sorry to report the Shed is closed in Stowe. Good news however, Otter Creek picked up two of their beers and will be selling in the near future. On another note, what's NJ ZED?

Any thoughts on getting a group together ... Like a gun Gucci group? Maybe probe for locations?

Cool. Eager to hear what Shane has to say. I've got the gun Gucci as well. Problem is, only really get to run it full-tilt while taking a class in a friendly state (Colorado, Florida, etc). Definitley would like to reach out to other folks here who have the kit, and possibly have the insight about tolerant locations. That said, if anyone knows someone who owns acres ... I'll buy the payoff beer.

:-) Yeah, I've thought about that. I lived in Vermont for a while and we'd just head out to someone's farm and blast all night long. Like you said, not very likely in a club setting. But what about some of the indoor places that are open 24/7? If no other members are present, is shooting low or no-light not permitted?

I'm new to the forum. Just reaching out to see if any members have the gear and run their rifles at night. I'm interested in exploring possible night shoots using NVGs and IR lasers. Anyone out there with this type of kit/setup? Down the road, it would be great to get some type of group together for collaborative night training. Any suggestions are welcome. I've attended several tactical shooting courses, including night operations.

All booked. First time attending. Very eager to see the sights, run into folks with whom I've taken classes with.
