Pistol & FA Rifle Shoot'g Class / Czech Rep / 30+31 Jan 2016

Which hotel is it? Got to investigate getting there from Prague on Friday, public transport is very cheap, but if I get lost I'll be scuppered. Czech is a fairly impenetrable language it would appear.

It's about the same temperature in Prague as it is here, hope that lasts.

Can only agree with your statement about the Czech language ...

It will be much easier if I take care of taking safely to the hotel
It's all under control & I am ready for you ...




you have an PM Shugie

Back from our W-E in the shooters paradise of the Czech Republic .
Saturday & sunday morning, we did a fairly "classic" program , ie : dynamic shooting instruction on Glock & Vz58 for the 1st module class, and same toys but group shooting for the advanced module class as well as defensive pump shot-gun. Sunday afternoon, timed parcour for all to put the instruction in practice.

My God, what a terrible time we all had ...

Thanks Froggy, best weekend I've had for ages, great bunch of people. Quite hard work to learn a lot in a short time and oh so different to Bisley safety rules.

Quote of the weekend has to be "tap, rack but keep watching the b******"

I hope to be back again next time.

It was a pleasure to meet you Shugie :)

Had a blast!

Now le frog, when is the next one so I can start saving...?

TG, I was about to ask the same question, mr frog any ideas? I'd love to be able to make it to one.

Delighted you guys had a great time. It gives me great pleasure to see people leaving on Sunday with a big grin on their face

It was real nice to meet you Shugie and be able to put a face on a FB nickname.
Indeed it is a lot to grasp in a fairly short time especially that, given that all the students in your class had previous experience shooting LBP/LBR. Indeed, we moved fast so you could do a bit of SA rifle as well.

Looking ahead , I have couple of W-E/Projects in mind :

- Next will probably be a Static pistol shooting W-E geared either toward pre-ban pistol shooters & current LBR/LPB shooters or NTTC shooters that want to work on either their accuracy, pistol draw or moving/advancing targets etc...
Total novices will of course be welcome and be taught the very rudiments of pistol shooting.

- In the Spring, I will run a now fairly classic Dynamic Pistol & Riffle class. First Module for beginners & more advanced modules for previous NTTC students.

- Finally , for the late summer, we are working on organising a "Brits" vs Czech local shooters - 3 guns challenge"
It will be open to the shooters that have completed at least the module 1 training. It is my long time ambition to set-up a British team to enter a local competitions. Expect hard shooting during the day and serious BBQ with all the trimmings in the evening

What is the minimum 'requirement' for people to attend these courses, as in; do they need to have their own FAC or would simple practical shooting experience suffice? It's just i'm interested, as are a couple of other well experienced shooters and my brother, but he doesn't have his own FAC, he just shoots with me every now and again. He knows what he's doing but doesn't have any credentials to 'prove' it so to speak.

[mullen7]

Blackstuff, without speaking for froggy, I've asked him prievously regarding requirements and he stated that either an FAC or a member of a club due to having to do background checks on people. However not sure how it would be for family etc.

[shugie]

I shall be saving also, ready for the next trip.

Well done for the effort of doing all this, and for staying with the learner's group to do the translating.
