I see Signal 88 is overhauling the training section of their website. Does anyone know if they have any classes scheduled in the next couple months?
-
Trevor is scheduled to teach a 2 day weekend in May (I think the 7-8th) for HG. I'd be there but saving my ammo and bones for The Rangemaster Conference the next weekend in Tulsa.

HG = Handgun?
I missed their carbine class last year and wanted to try and make it this year.

You should be able to sign up for email alerts for classes you are interested in. I took their carbine course last year and it was pretty good. I might take it again this year. They have two pistol classes coming up, but I haven't gotten any emails on a carbine class yet.

Yep, signed up for the e-mails for the carbine class, no information yet.
-
Carbine class is being tentatively scheduled for May 21st and 22nd. The emails will be coming out soon to advise of dates for all upcoming classes and location of classes.

I used to get e-mails from them, but haven't in several months.

Their email alert came out. You can sign up on their site now.

Is anyone taking the carbine class next weekend?

I wish, next weekend is one of the very few where I can't take time off from work. Just bad timing.

Unfortunately, I have a conflict that was scheduled prior to the class being scheduled.
-
Looking at their website, it appears there is only one person signed up. I'm guessing that class won't be happening unless some others sign up.
I wish it were a handgun class, I have the weekend open and would love to go take one of their classes. $300 and 600 rds of rifle ammo though is a little steep for my budget. I could live with 600 rounds of pistol ammo a little easier :-)

Chris, we will have a advanced handgun class set up soon. Hope it coincides with a free weekend that you have! Stay safe.

Been wanting to for a long time! Unfortunately I end up with a scheduled class myself every time you guys have one I want to take. Bullit was bragging up you guys again this weekend
-
I would really love to do this class but unfortunately don't have the cash right now. :(
Don't stop offering classes, Signal 88! We definitely want to take them!
-
Sorry to bring up a old post, but the new 88 Tactical site is up and running. Handgun, Shotgun, and Rifle classes of all levels are posted in the calander section. I hope the dates work for most and look forward to seeing some of you on the range.

Do you have to have taken the CCW class through Signal 88 to take the level 2 HG training? I'm interested in the level 2 class and have taken the CCW through another provider.

CedarBill,
If you have a CCW you are fine. Consider taking both 2 and 3. Should be a great time.
-
Will you be offering the Intro to Combat Rifle for Home Defense? If you do, can it be run with an M1 carbine?
-
Never mind. Not all the courses were listed when I looked. Now there is a basic and advanced carbine class listed and my M1 looks welcome for the basic course. Can't wait to take it.

If you decide to take the two-day course, let me know. I'd be interested in taking it with someone from NFOA.

The two-day class looks like a lot of fun---I'll need to see if they'll let me take it without the Level I course first, though... For once, I'm not doing anything that weekend, though it _will_ fill my one remaining weekend off. :)
-
Sorry for the delayed response guys. Husker_Fan, your M1 is good. The class will be geared towards the AR15, but some classroom and range evolutions will be universal to all weapon platforms. jthhapkido, pretty sure your good for the two day :D. Look forward to seeing a bunch of you out at the range.

I haven't taken the Level I course either but I didn't see that it was a pre-requisite for the Level II course.
Now, to see how the course fits into the hunting seasons ....

Ah, I see it now. I'm still getting used to the way their new website is organized and didn't realize that I needed to click on the Details banner.
-
Great. I should be signing up soon for the Sept. 18 basic rifle class with a couple of friends.
-
Ah, now if only there were some sort of NFOA coupon code for the 2-day carbine class...
;D ;D ;D

I suggested exactly the same thing. Rumor has it that it's in the works. :)

If you email swright@88tacticcal.com and tell her you are a member of NFOA she will issue you a ONE TIME coupon code for what ever class you sign up for. It's not a lot, but it is something!! Watch for rifle, shotgun and upper level handgun classes coming up. Also a fun shoot will be held in October and November.

It is indeed something, and I've already used mine---going to the 2-Day tac rifle class in October. Anyone else coming along? Looks like it'll be a fun time! (And a good reason to use your coupon code. :) )
-
Unfortunately, we had some unanticipated expenses so I won't be able to go. :(
-
Glad the coupon is working for you guys. Sorry it is not more, but it is something. Look forward to seeing everyone at the upcoming classes. We have some space left in the Intro to Rifle class, some space in the Womens Only CCW class.
Anybody that signed up for the two day rifle class watch you email for some lodging updates. Also check out the website.......some halloween fun is about to happen!!! ;D

I attended the basic rifle class yesterday and I just want to say what a great time I had. Greg ran a top-notch program.
The classroom instruction was very well tailored for an intro-level class and really helped everyone learn how to more efficiently run their rifle. Greg struck a great balance between keeping things professional and serious while injecting some good humor to keep everyone's attention. Even the people who had years of experience on the AR-15 were interested in the information presented. Heck, I was the only person not running an AR-15 and I was engrossed in the presentation and am sure now I'll get an AR at some point.
The live fire portion was extremely useful (and of course, a lot of fun). The range was well supervised and safety was obviously the top concern.
While the class was geared to the AR platform, I was their with my Underwood M1 carbine mix-master. I was a bit nervous about keeping up with high-speed, low-drag AR's with optics, but I learned a lot. Being in a live fire setting with other folks gives you immediate feedback when trying different techniques in drills. For example, I wasn't quite as fast on reloads, but I tried three different techniques at speed and quickly figured out which one had me back up and running almost as fast as the other folks.
Another thing I learned that I wasn't expecting was that a gun with zeroed irons can be almost as quick and just as accurate as one with optics and I have a lot more confidence in my rifle than I did before this class. No, my M1 won't double as a 400 yard tack driver, but it will work for what I need it to do, and what this class is all about.
Thanks again to the 88 Tactical folks, especially Greg and Jason, for running a great class, and for the coupon code.
