Pistol Shooting Solutions, Phoenix, AZ, October 26th and 27th, 2019
I signed up for Gabe's class being held this weekend (October 26-27) at Ben Avery Shooting Facility in northern Phoenix. Due to sudden work issues, I cannot attend (this fucking sucks). Gabe has allowed me to given my spot away as a Karma giveaway! Thanks @Mr_White
RULES:
1. You must be a Site Supporter.
2. You must post here if you are interested AND PM me your name, email address and contact number so I can pass this through to Gabe.
3. You must qualify for the pre-requisites (see below - which taken off of Gabe's info sheet for the class)
4. I will choose a winner randomly by the end of Thursday 10/24/19 so I can pass the info to Gabe.
5. If you win and go, work hard in his class and don't waste my fucking money!
Student Prerequisites
• At minimum, you must continuously execute the four firearms safety principles and beable to safely draw from a concealed, belt-mounted holster or unconcealed duty holster.This class is not appropriate for beginners and should not be your first training class.
• You must be at least 21 years old, a U.S. Citizen, and not prohibited by any Federal, State, orLocal law from possessing firearms.
• You will be required to sign at least one waiver at the start of class (Instructor waiver andpotentially one or more club waivers.)
• You should be able to hit a 6"x6" target on demand at 10 yards (equivalent of the A/B zone orhead of a USPSA Metric or IDPA target) and reload and clear malfunctions.
• Faster and more accurate shooting and gunhandling will be very helpful. A person with weakmarksmanship or gunhandling skills may feel somewhat left behind. You may still be able toparticipate safely, but may not feel that the class is the best use of your time and ammunition.
• If you are unsafe, or do not appear to be of sound and responsible mind, you will be asked toleave. If you are safe, and of sound and responsible mind, but lack the needed shooting skill, you will not be asked to leave, but the class will not be altered to cater to you.
Equipment Requirements
• Eye and ear protection, plus brimmed hat.
• Safe and reliable service caliber handgun, 9mm/.38 Spl or larger - this class is built aroundcompact and full size semi-automatic pistols - revolvers are welcome but may be verychallenging. Note: The SIG P320 handgun was recently discovered to have a vulnerability todischarge at a particularly egregious upward angle as a result of being dropped. The P320 is notallowed in Pistol Shooting Solutions unless it has received the upgrade/fix from SIG.
• Strong-side or appendix, belt mounted holster that covers the trigger guard when the gun is inthe holster, stays open when the gun is out of the holster, and attaches securely to the belt.Unsafe holsters will not be allowed. Please do not bring minimalist holsters that only cover thetrigger guard and are designed to be removed from the belt before holstering. Please do notbring the BLACKHAWK! Serpa holster unless required by your agency.
• Concealment garment or duty/retention holster. The class is intended to develop the highlyskilled use of a pistol in self-defense. For most of us, that means either concealment or aduty/retention holster. Unconcealed range or competition gear is also welcome if you prefer.
• Sufficient spare magazines to shoot at least 65 rounds of ammo before needing to refillmagazines (for example, if you have 17-round magazines, bring at least 4 magazines to class.) Equipment Requirements (continued)
• Magazine pouch (single, double, and combination pouches are all acceptable.)
• Ammunition, ~1000 rounds (actual round count is likely to be over 950.) Please allow yourselfthe best class experience possible and bring ammunition that is going to function correctly!
• Bring lunch, snacks, water, and personal hygiene products - we will be at the range all dayand take short lunch breaks (approximately 30 minutes) - there will not be time to leavethe range to get food!
• This class is not the best time to break in a new gun, or use untested or unreliable guns,ammunition, or other equipment! Those issues will be a huge distraction from your training andI am unlikely to be able to solve those problems for you.
WHEN/WHERE/WHAT TO DO
When you arrive, please do not handle firearms until instructed to do so.
It's not a problem if you arrive wearing a loaded and holstered handgun,
need to switch gear, or if you arrive not wearing a gun and need to put on
your gear. Just leave the gun where it is and do not handle it until we
show you when and where to do that.
Class will start at 8:00 am and will go until finished - 6:30pm is the
estimated end time of class each day. Please arrive in time to deal with
your equipment and be ready to start class at 8:00 am.
Separate from tuition, a range fee of $30 per student is due on the first
day of class, payable by cash only.
Bring lunch, snacks, water, and personal hygiene products - we will be at
the range all day and take short lunch breaks (approximately 30 minutes) -
there will not be time to leave the range to get food! A folding chair is
also useful during the lecture portions of the class.
Class location:
Ben Avery Shooting Facility
4044 W Black Canyon Blvd
Phoenix, AZ 85086
In-range directions:
Go past the main range, at the stop sign go left, then take the first
right. You'll go through the long distance range, and past that on the
right hand side you'll see the Department of Public Safety Building. We
are training on the large range at that location.
