    Our next Intro to Defensive Rifle (DR101) class will be held on Sunday 28APR13 near Terre Haute, Indiana. This class is intended for individuals who keep a rifle for potential defensive use. Most civilian defense situations will occur at relatively close range (less than 50 yards) and the dynamics of close quarters use of the rifle differ considerably from longer range engagements. Any fully-functional, centerfire repeating rifle or carbine will suffice for this class, but a self-loader is recommended.

    Due to the ammo situation, sub caliber "trainers" will be acceptable for MOST of the excercises. Please bring your centerfire rifle also. Questions? PM Rhino or myself.

    ACT will provide a gourmet hot dog lunch. We will not be leaving the range for lunch.

    TO REGISTER: Send EMAIL to Joseph@AdaptiveConsultingandTraining.com.

    Also worth mention, in addition to encouraging subcalibers, we will be trying to limit the amount of ammunition without undermining the quality of the training. And remember, the number of rounds you shoot in an ACT class is up to you.

    Hey, All! This is the DR101 for 2013! Based on the number of people who have asked for it over the last year, we should have a full roster already!

    I'm sorry, because I'm one of those who pestered you for it. But it falls on a bad day for me. Not one, but two other things going on that day!
    I have not ruled it out yet, though. If I can go, it will be with little advance notice but I will give all I can.

    I have got to get a rifle! I am about 5 minutes from the range but have been holding out on a rifle for too long... I haven't taken a class from you but with them being so close to me I am going to make it happen in the near future! Thank you for doing these

    Looks like a fun class guys. I am teaching one the day before, if I have any ammo left, I should mosey on down.

    You're welcome anytime! Before lunch we're in the classroom, then after lunch it's all on the range. The DR201 is all on the range.
