Shooter,

I was looking forward to your AAR. Thanks for sharing. I could not make it this time around due to schedule triple-conflict, but there's always next year.

jmb79 looks to be having a great time, too.

Looks like a bad ass class

If you haven't made it to a Rogers class, you owe it to yourself to pony up.

Missed this one due to schedule, but will be catching up with him in September for a 4 day down in Memphis, I think this will be like number 8 with Pat over the last 6 years or so.

The pace of the class is high, and the information given is defiantly solid fighting with a carbine, no fluff here.

Glad too here you had a good time, bet it wasn't as much fun as the AK though.

Glad too here you had a good time, bet it wasn't as much fun as the AK though.

The '08 carbine course was a good time as always, but it paled in comparison to last year's class, in terms of the overall skill level of the students and getting to do new/advanced stuff. Last year, virtually every student was an EAG alum, and it was a very "switched on" group of guys. This year, we had some new shooters, as well as a couple of older guys who just couldn't keep their head and/or body in the fight. Anytime you have a wide range of skill levels in a single group, it's going to necessitate a slower pace. That, and our schedule was a bit compressed due to range conflict and weather issues, so we may not have gotten to do everything that Pat had originally planned.

The AK course last year was a LOT of fun; I'll probably do that one again next spring if it is offered again at BCSD.

"Where do they get all those wonderful toys?"

This crap rolled through on the afternoon of TD2; glad it missed us!

Hopefully we'll catch up at another run.
