I'm going with my iron sighted AR and 92FS. Was playing around yesterday at the range. Everything is Good to Go. I'll be meeting you guys at the gate and letting you know were to go. It's going to be a great time. Remember to bring food and drinks because there isn't anything close to go to.

how important is the load bearing vest? any cheap recommendations?

No. Don't spend money this week on something you might not like. Wait till the class and see what is working and what is not. I my self like and use a chest rig but it's what works for me. If you have nothing to hold mags in I have some belt holders you are welcome to use. Just let me know and I'll make sure I bring them.

I hope to have the Spikes Piston .223 they are sending me to test out in time for this class which I will be running with irons.

LBV- good advice from IRWFO, do not spend money on a lot of gear guys until you have done at least one class and experienced first hand what it is you may or may not need. A lot of guys rush out and buy all sorts of crap and come to find out in the first hour of the first class that they wasted their money.

Very true i picked up an skd universal chest rig tryed out a friends before i got it then i purchased one and love it holds mags for alot of different guns. Fits ak mags perfect as well as ar. Fairly priced and comfortable. What was the mag count again 5 correct.

See you all on Saturday!

Weather looks real good.

For anyone that hasn't been to the Pine Barrens, after you make a left at the stop sign and follow the road around the air field you will come up to a warning sign. DO NOT worry about it. You are going to the range and allowed to be on the road.

See you guys there.

Looking forward to it.  See everyone there in the morning.  

all packed and ready also looking forward to meeting everyone

Any chance there will be another one of these? I'd *love* to go, and I know several people that would also.

I heard plans for a spring class in another thread.  You may want to pm irwfo.

We will be having another Carbine 1&2. Probably at least 2 more classes since quite a few guys didn't get in on the last one. I will also be asking for Chris to come back to Long Island for Carbine 3&4. I have been asked to setup a Combat Shotgun and it looks like we could fill up a few classes also.

Now you spent a lot of money on your tactical gear for you and your gun. You stock piled a crap load of ammo for Armageddon or the Infected Zombie Hoards. You sat for hours at the range playing sniper at a target 50 to 200 feet away. You know you are ready for anything.  

15min into a MDTS training class standing 3yrds way from a man sized target and you need to hammer 3 rounds into the A-Zone, what an eye opener when you miss.   By the end of the day you will have a whole different kind of confidence.
