Well gang, it was great, the past 5 days are well worth the money. I learned a lot and the reviews of the other classes are worth there weight in Gold.
we fired over 1100 rounds and got lots of time in the shoot houses and on the back ranges. as for night fire its fun but I really don't like it .
to answer Flints question is that with the first shot you lose about 50% of your night vision for a few and with the others firing you can see your target well. we also got lots of time in with a Flashlight and now I know that I really don't want it attached to the gun on the rail. I prefer to hold it in my Non-Pistol hand.
the 350 Class is one of the best I have had and would recommend it to all. if you do go to any of there classes be prepared to do a lot of Shooting and moving . the blade-tech holster and Mag pouches worked great, I do know that the next class I will be taking is there 499 advanced and I will bring way more then 10 mags with me. the only part I didn't like was having to load in the sun .
I took my Glock 23 and found that I will be to take more cleaning supplies and a few more brushes as you will be cleaning every night.
My Final thoughts on this class is they run a first rate training and shoot site and the instructors are well in knowledge and experienced in the Field of shooting and defence.
I have booked my next class of 2008 and its the 499 Advanced tactics class.

Today was spent on class room lessons on target conveyance, protection of others.

tomorrow is the last day and its only a Half day with a get together for lunch and Awards and Certificates
Then i get to come home and post some ot the pictures I have .

well with my B-day coming up the wife and my 2 girls gave me the 350 Pistol class on the 17th thru the 21 of July it was a surprise to me when I got the letter from gunsite today with my class time and date on it .
well has anyone taken this class before and if you have can you tell me how it works.
I have had the 150 and 250 classes in the past and they where fun with lots to learn.
I think i need to find a place to get 1500 rds of 40 for my Glock 23 and this is a good reason to get a new holster and mag pouches . I see on there site they use alot of the blade tech stuff and it might be a good choice.
