Guys,
I'm excited to announce an awesome training opportunity with Larry Vickers coming this November. This class will teach you to run that EMC, ECC, EC, other 308 AR or Battle Rifle like a boss! We will be running these guns to their full potential, from CQB out to 600m and beyond.
I will be adding more course info shortly, but I wanted to get all the particulars out there so people could get squared away asap.
Instructor: Larry Vickers http://vickerstactical.com/
Location: Volusia Gun and Hunt Club - http://www.volusiacountygunandhuntclub.com/
When: November 19-20, Monday and Tuesday (before Thanksgiving)
Cost: $485 for class, $40 in range fees for non-members, $20 for members
Ammo Requirements: 600rds rifle, 200rds pistol
Gear Needed: Battle Rifle, (308 AR, FN FAL, SCAR, M14, HK G3, etc.) and serviceable pistol in at least 9mm (but lets face it, if you show up to a Battle Rifle class with anything less than .45 you should probably just go home ). A decent rifle sling, at least 4 rifle magazines and probably 3 pistol mags, and means to carry them on your person. Something like a good belt and/or simple chest rig would be fine, or you can show up like a SWAT turtle/ Mall Ninja - whatever works for you.
I would also recommend having a low-mid power variable type scope setup on you gun. The course will span from CQB distances all the way out to 600+ meters, so having something that can work in those ranges would be good. Many optics setups can accomplish this, from 1-x scopes to mid-range variables or fixed (ACOG) scopes with offset red-dots/ irons will also work. Just use what your comfortable with.
To register or for more info shoot me an im or send me an email, and I will help you get squared away.
I will be adding accommodation info soon for those that need it.
Looking forward to seeing you out there!

Due to a schedule conflict, we've altered the class to be 2 days. See above for updated dates and cost.
Re: Larry Vickers Battle Rifle Class New Smyrna, FL Nov. 19-
That sounds better as a 2 day instead of the 3 days before Thanksgiving.
I may just give it a shot.

I hope you can make it out. So far it's shaping up to be an SR-25 carbine class.

Ideally we will have 12-15 students.
Steve, Casey and myself are in for sure.
I am hoping we can spring Neil from Wedding bliss and the rest of you FL SR owners out to the class of a lifetime.
As Steve mentioned we have the Long Range area of the ranges to play with as well as the 1-300 areas etc. For those who have not taken a LAV class it needs to be experienced, he has a great sense of humor (and a way of reminding you to get back on the shortbus and keep licking the window) and a huge depth of experience as well as a great teaching manner.
He's my favorite instructor (the other two of three being Jim Smith of Spartan Tactical, and John 'Shrek' Mc, not sure he is advertising his full name as he's a more recent retiree) all three former CAG Snipers (and Assaulters), and truly from the pinnacle of experience and skill

Don't plan too much on the Can, its going to get longer and heavier as the day wears on...
LAV really encouraged us into the two day class due to the wear and tear folks get from shooting 7.62mm and he figured that by the end of TD2 everyone would be smoked.
I'm pretty sure I won't be running a can at all.
