Big thank you to Frank for getting this set up.

Can't show you any pics.


Lots of secret squirrel stuff!



And, I had no camera and no time to use it!

Great Class

It was a great class with Henk today. I am slightly stiff and scraped from mid thigh down. I think I finally got all the sand and glass dust off. Another eye opening training experience.

The shooting was not terribly difficult, but getting my bag ass out of a Honda Civic was a challenge

Very good class with Henk, may have to see about knee replacement now. I am very beat up.

the vehicle course was a great learning experience! My shins are beat up and I'm sore from mid section down. Hopefully Frank has some good pics or video.

I took a ton of video of the vehicle course, but it's all on Vince's camera. I'm sure I won't have the raw footage until sometime next week. I plan on editing it down and posting it on our Youtube channel.

I want to thank Fortress Defense for an amazing week of firearms training. Frank and Vincent did an outstanding job. If you have an opportunity to take a class with Fortress Defense I would highly recommend it; I can honestly say this is one of the best things I've ever done.

I really enjoyed this 6 days of training. Frank and Vince ran a tight range from a safety standpoint, yet we got the opportunity to really challenge ourselves during the first 4 days with pistols and carbines under varying conditions, i.e., rain, heat, darkness, distractions, etc. It was not physically challenging, but my brain was getting pretty "mushy" at the end.

The Tactical Medical Course was valuable for anyone who handles firearms and Thursday's Defensive Vehicle Course was just plain fun. The shooting was not difficult, but understanding what goes on during a shooting around a vehicle and how to stay alive and/or return fire was an education that is not taught at most schools (at least not from what I have seen advertised on the internet). To have it taught by Henk Iverson was a treat because he brings a battlefield mindset to the range and points out subtle, but critical errors that need correction. Having never been in the military or law enforcement, this was eye-opening experience and I look forward to attending another course such as this one.

Thanks again to Frank and Vince and the other guys attending the course. I really had a good time throughout the 6 days.

Absolutely our pleasure! You and all the other guys were just great to work with!

I've got a few pics of the action on Thursday, and a metric buttload of pics from the carnage. As soon as I can get them off the camera, I'll send them over.

Tinman...

I survived!
I learned a lot!
I dropped my crappy, outdated, unreliable antique 1911s in the sandy dirt (when they ran dry) quite a times and yet they continued to function. I was shocked, I tell you. SHOCKED!

Now I must process what I learned and adapt it to fit my needs.

Thanks again, Frank! I'm sorry I didn't linger afterwards to say goodbye.

EDIT TO ADD: Those of you I met for the first time (or re-met), please remind me who you are so that I can put an INGO userid with a face!

 

[shootinghoosier]

Rhino, I came up and introduced myself to you. I was wearing the INGO hat.
