~ OpSpec Training - Advanced Pistol Marksmanship - April 22 & 23, 2017 - Valencia, Calif. ~
OpSpec Training is returning to Valencia, California for our two-day version of our Advanced Pistol Marksmanship program.

This is an advanced-level course. If you have experience working from a holster, and have good gun-handling skills, you meet the pre-requisites for this class. If you’ve taken OpSpec Training’s Intro to Practical Fundamentals, Practical Fundamentals or competed in USPSA, IDPA or 3-Gun matches you also meet the pre-requisites for this class. To get the most benefit from this class, you should have taken OpSpec Training’s Practical Fundamentals class within the last two to three years.

Advanced Pistol Marksmanship
The two-day Advanced Pistol Marksmanship course is for a shooter who wants to become faster and more accurate for defensive or competitive shooting. This course places a heavy emphasis on process oriented technical marksmanship to solve various marksmanship challenges. The goal of this course is to take the shooter through a series of logically organized problems, and equip the shooter with the ability to solve them. This has been described as a very mentally challenging course that pays a dividend in overall technical skills.

Evil exists. You can not negotiate with, bribe or placate evil. You're not going to be able to have it sit down with Dr. Phil for an anger management session either.

Strongly considering this one.
MOAC was awesome!

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams

“It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free."
-Niccolo Machiavelli

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken

I do not believe there were any forum members in the class.

Not really. We have a wide reach, particularly in CA Law Enforcement for all the same reasons people here train with us. I wrote for years for Modern Service Weapons when it was the hot thing. Since its slow demise, the same folks have followed us on our website, Instagram, and other venues such as Calguns.

I just figured you could never get entirely away from this bunch Wink

I was nearly the token SF representative but scheduling at work and such...

You should have been there. Not only was it a good class, but it gave me an idea for a new one day class called MAXX. Probably going to try it next year. Similar concept, but HARD. Very little formal instruction, lots of one on one coaching, and very tight accuracy standards, and times. Oh, and a little PT thrown in for good measure.

I've wanted to try a class like that, and I've wanted to run a firearms instructor class. Both will happen in '18.

I had hoped to make it as well, but managed to screw up my shoulder and didn't think I could keep up left-handed. I thought the host was a forum member?

Yeah, but he is also an instructor. Might not be exactly unbiased. Big Grin
