Post by **DDgunslinger** » Wed Jan 02, 2013 7:46 pm

On January 20th, RWI Tactical will be conducting a lvl 1 Tactical Rifle course. This course will cover the basic fundamentals and skills needed to be a proficient marksman with the AR/AK platform. Drill will include, reflexive fire, engaging targets a varying distance, engaging multiple targets, movement, and more. This will be an outstanding day of training whether you are a new shooter or a shooter that needs a refresh on concepts previously learned. We look forward to see you all out at the range. If you have any questions please contact us and let us know.

This is the first class of the New Year, so lets kick it off right.

Will this be mostly indoors or outdoors?

Outdoors, although if needs be the classroom portion can be moved indoors.

Our first lvl 1 Tactical Rifle course of the year is less than 2 weeks away, so make sure to reserve your slot now.

Guys, there is not much "getting ready" for a Level 1 course. Carbine, ammo and a way to retain 1-2 extra mags. I will lend you a system to retain your mags.

DBH has it correct. Honestly the only thing you HAVE to have for yourself is ammo and $10 for chow. Collectively, we can get you set up for everything else.

DBH has a rig he can lend you, I have a rig I can lend you, RWI has a rig or three you could use, extra mags to borrow can be found, and very probably even an extra carbine.

Excuses?

Post by **dbh** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 9:23 pm

While Level 1 Courses are fairly elementary, Level 2 Courses are some of the funnest shooting that I've ever done. But you can't do Level 2 until you have completed Level 1.

I'm going to try, will need to get some mag pouches and ammo.

It may be a level 1 but you'd be very hard pressed to find a level 1 that covers what we do.
Please understand that the reason behind our requirements for higher level courses is based on that.

We strive to offer the best training possible for the best price we can manage.

Exactly, I would be willing to bet we have one of the most extensive lvl 1 Tactical Carbine courses throughout the country.

no thats only on the level 2 and 3 classes. Level one is great to learn good shooting habbits. Helps straighten out your gear placement. First Level one i did was i think 2 years ago and i got the flu 72 hours pior to the class. Feaver broke 24 hours before the class. It was a great class even though the night before half the instructors were at a wine party at the colemans. :llama:

That was a rough one. The first several RWI classes I did hungover...for a while I think I was a better shot with a hangover than without

Can you run, or do lunges.....anything to get your heart rate up?

The purpose is to simulate the stress (higher heart rate, sweating, shaking, etc.) that you would feel in a real life situation. I find that I actually shoot better after doing pushups.

Again, this is for Level 2 & 3.

In my previous post, I in no way meant to belittle Level 1 Courses (I hope it wasn't interpreted that way). I was trying to stress how much funner level 2 Courses are.

I have done Pistol 1, Pistol 2, Carbine 1, Carbine 2, Zombie Shoot and Christmas Shoot and plan on doing them all again this year. Probably end up doing Carbine 3 this year.

Remember, I'm 54 years old !! If I can do it, you can too !!!
