    This is a one time deal - we have students from out of state who contracted us to set this up, and they have covered the majority of the expenses and they also want to train with other people.

    So, everybody wins here. However, we will be limiting sign ups. We're allowing 10 students to take advantage of the deal, since there are other students of ours who will be taking various combinations of the classes and we don't want to crowd things.

    I wish I had the vacation time to take the whole week! Maybe I could spare a couple days for the last two classes.

    This would be an excellent deal for anyone wanting to jump into defensive firearms both feet first! I still can't believe $475 for 6 days!? It would be great to see some INGOers take advantage of this.

    Do I register on your website, or email you?

    You should be able to make payment through the paypal link on our site, and there is a field you fill in telling us which course.

    It would also be good if you emailed me directly so I can give you all the details.

    Thanks!

    Frank,

    I am going to sign up for your Vehicle Tactics course. Do you have an equipment list and round count that you can post?

    You'll need a proper magazine fed, semi-auto rifle, plus 4 magazines and 400 rounds (we might not shoot all of that.) Rifle must have a sling.

    Plus a pistol, proper holster, at least two mags (more is better), mag carrier and 200 rounds.

    Hearing and eye protection, plus a hat with a brim, like a baseball cap.

    We're working on a complete list this minute and hope to have it posted here and on our site in the next 24-hours.

    Thanks!

    To all . . .

    This is an excellent opportunity to get some of the best instruction available for a very reasonable price. Frank is an outstanding teacher with years of experience teaching students from all walks of life. He is also one of my mentors in the training biz and I learn something new from him almost every time we spend sometime together. I recommend him and his entire curriculum without reservation.

    As one might imagine, since I posted this here and on one other site I already have 3 people signed up for the package and 6 others for parts. This goes out in an email blast and in our news letter next week, so if anyone wants in I'd suggest you do it quick!

    For the sake of full disclosure, TheJames is assisting me with the teaching that week, so he may be a bit biased with his opinion. ;)

    I tried to convince my wife that we should take our vacation in Rochester. Even told her that i would be giving her plenty of time through the week to shop and I would find something to keep me occupied. NO GO. She saw right through my subterfuge. I truly dislike not being able to take advantage of this week of training.

    I am certain, however, that those that attend one day or all week will receive top shelf training at a bargain price.
