I'm working on adding one to my group who would do the Practical Fundamentals instead while the other three do the Carbine+Pistol.

Great! Let me know when they "pull the trigger" and I will update the list.

"GE" checking in. (Hi Will!)

First forum post and it's to the thread for my first Grayguns class!

Gary,

Hey, back on the chip truck, William Bonney.

The first batch of registration forms have been emailed this evening. I will update the list as registration forms and deposits roll in. In addition, for those interested I will be sending any new additions to the list their registration form on a weekly basis, more specifically on Fridays.

Have a great weekend everyone!

pdx226,

You're quitting your new postion as Target Bit*h??!

-Bruce

I thought I'd moved up to Instructor Junior Grade!

Oh well, back to taping targets for me....


You still got that Barsto .40?

I'd like to attend the Practical Fundamentals class. I was waiting for an OR date to come up. I won the free course Karma for having the ugliest gun a year and half ago while deployed(beat up issued M9 in Afghanistan) and would like to take advantage of that if it is OK. Please let me know. Thanks!

Strambo,
I do not see why it would be a problem, but since I cannot recall the contest, I need to call the shop. Look for an email at you info@ address, from your website, sometime tomorrow afternoon. It will be from a gmail account and will have DCM7 in the subject line.

Thanks.

I spoke with Scott this afternoon, since Bruce is on his way to SIG SAUER. Looks good. Email inbound.

Stlhead,
Your payment arrived today. Many thanks!
