I took this class yesterday, Sunday, 2/10 at their Cedar Grove location. I have neither the time nor the energy of The Wombat to provide a detailed review, but I can tell that the class was informative, interesting, and fast-paced, as has

been the case with all of my training with GFH. There were two instructors for just seven students (one student had to leave early), so the ratio was excellent. Joe was his usual entertaining, energetic self; and Mac was quietly proficient as his co-instructor. As always, there was a strong emphasis on safety.

 

From their website, here's the course description:

 

Course Description: The Gun For Hire Level 2 Urban Carbine Course is for shooters wishing to push their shooting and weapon manipulation skills to the next level. The student will learn how to operate with the carbine in an urban setting out to 25 yards. This class is designed to push the student and their carbine to the next level. The student will be introduced to several new high-level shooting drills under stress. The student will also be introduced to moving in buddy teams and basic room clearing and building search techniques with a partner. Their will also be an introduction into fighting in and around vehicles. This course is also a prerequisite for our Level 3 Program.

 

And the syllabus:

 

Topics covered to include:

• Gear selection and placement
  
• Shooting positions
  
• Magazine reloads (review)
  
• Malfunction drills
  
• Shooting on the move
  
• Shooting from behind cover
  
• Engaging multiple targets and multiple threats while on the move.
  
• Stress drills
  
• One-handed weapon manipulation (to include weak handed only drills)
  
• Transition to pistol drills
  
• Moving in buddy teams
  
• Moving off line of threat
  
• Moving from cover to cover position
  
• Shooting out to 25 yards
  
• Advanced building search and room clearing techniques
  

We covered most of the topics above, and were given a choice as to which drills to repeat or emphasize.

I would highly recommend this class for anyone looking to expand his or her knowledge and comfort level with the AR.

How long are the GFH courses? A couple hours, a full day?
