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?

Ill be following this thread to see what kind of info others post...valid question

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.

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.

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.

Thats what I was afraid of.  I was hoping to find something in PA or Delaware or something.  

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

Logistical nightmare, but it would be groovy

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

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.

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?

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.

Well that don't help me lol.  I guess I'd have to make nice nice with a decent range.

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.

bumping for more options... i'd be up for a group thing...

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.

 

I would also be interested in an NJGF group thing.

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.

Awesome that's the type of thing I was looking for.

That does look good.

Jeff Bloovman with Armed Dynamics over in Philly.

Could we actually get a NJGF thing together? 

+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.

I might take the 10 minute medicine course with them.   I've been trying to find a course to teach basic first aid

That does look good.

If this is where they're holding this class, then I'm definitely interested as well.

Hmm... Not a fan of signing up by sending a check to a PO Box. Anyone have any experience with these folks?

The phone number is there.  So why not go old school and just call them and ask for references.  Sometimes you Kids amaze me!  Also check-out AR-15.com OR the PA Firearms Club's forum/blog.  Somebody will know something, lol!
