This was an absolutely outstanding experience. Big shoutout to Col. M., as well as the rest of the Shongum crew, for a fun and educational day. Without a doubt, this was the best firearms learning experience I've had so far, and if they offer the course again, I urge everyone to try this.

 

After a safety class, we went out to the range and shot a couple of stages that were set up for us. At first glance, I thought this would be a piece of cake (the targets are large and relatively close), but under the stress of shooting for accuracy and against the clock, it was surprisingly challenging. The stages were different enough to keep us interested, and the whole day was huge fun. The practice with holster draw, multiple target acquisition and speed shooting is something I haven't had before, and I'm glad to have learned the basics.

 

Thanks again, Mike. And thank the guys at the range for the day.

It was so refreshing to draw from a holster that I actually forgot I was in NJ...

 

Mike and team - what a GREAT time. Your instruction could not be better. The stages were challenging enough to us beginners and I feel comfortable enough to go shoot a match now.

 

On a positive note - no DQ's all around!

The instuctors were patient-answered every question and threw some humor in. Next Saturday is gonna really be fun after burning some powder and scoring some points today. Dan you missed out after you left and we did the pop-out shooter. It was really challenging, we dropped 2 steel 8" plates and then the ground popper dropped the pop-out.Carlos started and hit a head shot on the pop out 1st try! F*ckin Bonkers man! Ken and Dan keep in touch man.

Had a great time at the class. Mike and crew did an outstanding job keeping us safe and showing us the ropes. There's a lot of stuff to remember and some uspsa/idpa/competition specific ways of doing things, and a class like this is a great way to get exposed to them in a friendly, stress free environment. If anyone is even remotely curious about participating in any form of competitive shooting or just wants to try something new, I encourage you to get a spot in the next class.

 

Most importantly, it's a lot of fun

 

It was good seeing the folks I knew, and putting some new faces to names.

Any chance of this hapening agin in the near future. I missed this event and am really interested in getting started with IDPA.

 

Thanks,

Greg
