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.

I am going to have to plan vacation time to do this some day. I ahve tried to find one that is both close enough & does not extend through a weekend & have not so far. I await the report also. Have fun. Besafe. Learn all I can soak up in print.

My friend if you find one let me know and I will travel with you. All of the gunshows etc. . . are on the weekend

300 glad you are home and had a great time. That is an adventure that I look forward to one day.

Can't think of anyone I would rather ride with than a DPS officer who is a trained Soldier of the Cross.

Be SURE you take a bunch of sunscreen with high protection level... AZ is HOT and sunny in the summer.

Class is pretty intense and you probably won't do a lot of anything after class but gun maintenance and sleeping...

FWIW
