RayGun19 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 So, my wife and I are at the local gun show on Sunday. We're looking at the usual stuff, and she spies some Dag 7.62 battle packs. They were still $95/ea. And she asks if that's a good price. I answered that it was, and that it was drying up so the price had gone up. She says, "let's get you some." I'm replied I didn't know if I really needed any right now, and she comes back with, "you'll need 800 rounds for the end of May." "HUH?" "You're taking a class at the end of May. Happy Valentines-Anniversary-Birthday." "REALLY?! What one?"This one:[ftp=ftp://store.greygrouptraining.com/2-DAY-ADVANCED-CARBINE.html]http://store.greygrouptraining.com/2-DAY-ADVANCED-CARBINE[/ftp]F-n A brothers, she's a keeper.

RayGun19 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Yeah, not sure why the link won't link in. You have to go to www.greygrouptraining.com, then Training, then Instructors, and click on Kyle Defoor. It's pretty juch just a carbine class, but it's a great substitute for a guy (like me) that's not operating any longer and misses it. Here's the synopsis of the class:KYLE DEFOOR 2 DAY ADVANCED CARBINE 26-27 MAY 2012 - WATERMAN, ILAdvanced Carbine course is recommended for those that have attended shooting courses before or who have a thorough understanding of carbine basics and already have safe gun handling skills.Topics covered:Accessories, weapon setup, slings, gear, sights, optics, ballistics, cleaning/lubeSafetyFundamentalsAccuracyPositionsSpeedBarricadesShooting on the moveReloadsMalfunctionsMultiple targetsRunning with a carbineShooting under stress, shooting testsNight shoot (Facility Dependent)Projection, awareness, land marking, mindsetSome drills require physical exertion and an elevated heart rate.Military and LE members are welcomed, encouraged to wear their gear and weapons as they would for their application.Days are typically 9-10 hours in length with a short lunch break.Certificates are given upon successful completion of shooting tests.

RayGun19 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hahaha. Yes. Two of them. Both are crazy. One lives in Australia, the other is dating a married Muj whom she left her husband of 10 years for. Take your pick. And good luck to you sir. <lmao> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 "You're taking a class at the end of May." Rockin' a .308 through a 2-day carbine course is gonna be painful. Tell me it's not when it's over... <laughs>Take a 5.56 gun as a backup, because 1/2 way through day one, you'll be doubting your judgment on primary weapons choice.

planeflyer21 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 A friend of mine went through a LE instructor course a couple of decades ago, shooting only handgun, and they shot like 3,500 rounds in a week, loading all mags by hand.When he got back, everyone was like "Let's go shooting! Show us what you learned!" He said "No. I don't want to go shooting anymore!" <laughs>Took him a month or so before he got the urge.Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayGun19 Posted February 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Realistically, my AR10 has about the same recoil as a 5.56. I run an AAC Blackout Brake and have a Heavy Buffer. It all weighs in at about 9lbs with the UBR stock. I carried an M203 for a while in the service, as well as an M60 when I was younger. The M203 is about 9-10lbs. So the weight I'm used to. The entire course of fire is 800-1000 rounds for the total two days. So I figure about 400/day. We'll see. I'll let you guys know what it was like.

RayGun19 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 You know, it's funny. It seems as long as our military has had rifles, the damn things come out to 9-10lbs. The long and the short of it is you just get used to whatever your rifle weighs. I have thought about getting a piece of stock from our metal supplier that is roughly the same length and weight to carry in my hands when back packing (the park district kind of frowns on me carrying my AR10 ;) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w_r_ranch Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 You definitely have a keeper!!!

98Z5V Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 So, this went down a few weeks ago. 26 and 27 May. Anybody heard how this course went, and how RayGun did with the .308 in this course? I've seen a few AARs from that specific course, from other individuals. Ain't heard from the guy since his fake ribbons came up, have we?... Hmmm...Just sayin'.
