Summer Class Schedule for 2023
Summer Class Schedule 2023
With the exception of a couple of privates this summer, I am not traveling very much. I have a house to finish, and some outbuildings to get done before snow flies. Since we’ve already lost a month of building weather, due to the winter conditions this year, I have a reduced window for working on these projects.
Nevertheless, I’ve gotten a lot of requests for classes this summer, so I’ve discussed it with the missus and our host in Idaho Falls. The class schedule, so far, is as follows:
20/21 MAY 2023
Preparedness Rifle/Carbine
This course covers the fundamentals of using rifles for home, personal, and “farm” defense, at ranges from contact distance to several hundred meters. Coursework includes fundamental skill-building drills and basic, intermediate, and advanced considerations in the use of the rifle. Includes coverage of different types of common rifle actions, and practical considerations of using the rifle in different environmental and climactic conditions. $500
50% deposit due no later than 15MAY to reserve your slot in this class.
16/17/18 JUN 2023
Clandestine Carry Pistol + TC3
This course covers the use of the concealed carry handgun for personal protection, at ranges from contact distance to 100 yards. Coursework includes fundamental skill-building drills, including in-fight weapons access, and fighting to the gun, as well as basic, intermediate, and advanced considerations in the use of the fighting pistol. $500
This class will have a third training appended to it, to include an in-depth look, with lots of hands-on practicum, of TC3 coursework (not just “Stop the Bleed”) including the differences between military and paramilitary TC3 considerations. $200
If both courses are attended, the combined cost will be discounted to $600.
50% deposit is due no later than 1JUN for this course.
21/22/23 JUL 2023
Fundamentals of Fieldcraft
This course will cover fundamental skills for living out of a rucksack, whether for security patrolling or “bug out.” Subjects will include practicum on land navigation, hide site selection and shelter construction, camouflage and concealment, and other elements of SMOLES (survival, medical, observation and optics, land navigation, extreme weather conditions, self-defense). $500
50% deposit for this course is due no later than 15JUN. This class is limited to 8 students.
25/26/27 AUG 2023
Small Unit Tactics/Battle Drills
This course covers the fundamental principles of small-unit battle drills at the fire-team, “stick,” and squad level. This covers dealing with unexpected contact with hostile forces, as well as basic planned encounters, including fundamentals of the ambush and the raid. Includes live-fire and night iterations of battle drills, dependent on student achievement levels. $600
