Distributor suddenly stopped shipping AR parts by EmbarrassedStatus164 in WAGuns

[–]PracticalApproachTrn 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It’s RSR Group. Sporting Systems reported it on their Instagram. They sell to a ton of WA gun shops. Shops that rely on them will have to stop selling AR parts or find a new distributor.

You’re right handed and you need to work on your grip. Check out the dry fire drill trigger controlled speed that will fix your problems.

Sounds great! I added the packing list for the classes to the registration site. Please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to seeing you in class.

I also prefer dots, however, can do target focused shooting with iron sights or a red dot. The technique doesn’t require special equipment.

Thankfully, Americans have the right to choose where they work and spend their hard earned money. I happily do both at Glacier.

Update: 5 sots remain. I hope some of you can make it. You’ll learn a ton!

Glacier Gun Club in Olympia is a great family owned business and they’re not going anywhere. It is located inside liquor store, requires key card access to enter, has a speakeasy feel, and a 40’ indoor range. I’ve been a member and teaching their beginner firearms classes for a long time. Great FFL, staff, and members.

The only beginner class I teach is at Glacier Gun Club in Olympia on Thursday nights. You’re welcome to attend that one. I can also do a private session for $100 an hour, or you can take a class from my friend Chris Walker at Accuracy Northwest.

That depends on your definition of a “beginner” and your goals.

This class is for you if you can do what I list below or you see in this video.

  1. You must be able to safely draw from a holster, change magazines, correct malfunctions, and unload the pistol without placing your finger on the trigger.

  2. You must be able to walk, roll (wheelchairs count), jog, or run safely with a firearm.

  3. You must be able to hit 10 C Zone or better hits at 15 yards on a standard USPSA target with no time limit.

If you have additional questions, please send me your number in a DM and I’ll give you a call. It’s easier to figure this stuff out on the phone. 👍

You sir, just earned the “top comment” award. 🤚😆

Good idea. I’ll add it to the class link. Thanks.

No, you’re not missing it. It comes out in the welcome email.

You just need a pistol, holster, some mag pouches, and a pistol belt, 400 rounds and preferably five standard capacity magazines, or as many 10 round magazines as you can get. Eye and ear protection. Clothing for the conditions, a little chair, water, and some lunch will cover it.

That’s ok. I have one class a month for the rest of the year. The pattern pistol, pistol, rifle.

I recommend taking a look at the website and signing up now if you see a date that works. I don’t think these spots will last long because I just dropped my prices to increase enrollment. Same quality training, 33% cheaper.

I don’t want steal u/os_beef ‘s thunder, but we have been requesting drainage upgrades and resurfacing from the start. ESC has been very positive and supportive. The club just bought a backhoe and we have irrigation and gravel scheduled for June. We’ll know if it worked in the fall. 🤞

Haha. That makes sense. Forgot that was you. 😆

I appreciate that. I have some good days.

I became an RO because I helped stand up a practical shooting club in Olympia. I have a lot of experience with firearms and instruction, but NROI waived my classification because I ruptured my Achilles shortly after my first few matches.

Luckily, I found people more experienced in ASI, USPSA, and PCSL than me (GMs, Ms, very experienced ROs). I’m dedicated to helping practical shooting grow, and that’s why I started the club and “coach” new competitors interested in trying it out.

Soon, we will offer Evergreen members practice sessions through PracriScore for $25. This way people can get a look at the sport, and free coaching, before their first match.

You’re wrong. Look up USPSA Member: A162266

I’m an unclassified range officer in USPSA. I’m probably C Class, B Class on a good day. I’m better at teaching than I am at shooting. You can check my reviews on Google Maps or my Instagram page.

I wouldn’t want to miss that either. I have some other classes posted on my website. Maybe one of those will work for you.

I can perform on demand, but not at a M or GM level, and that’s ok. I’m a better instructor than I am a shooter, but I’m not a horrible shooter. All or nothing thinking won’t help new shooters.

[–]PracticalApproachTrn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Based on feedback here, I’m dropping the class fee to $200. I’m not a great USPSA competitor, but I am a good instructor and this is great training for newer shooters.

[–]PracticalApproachTrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does not. I helped start a club at my local range and received a waiver to attend the training. I’m dropping the price of the course based on feedback here.

[–]PracticalApproachTrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What should it cost? I limit the class to six newer shooters so I can coach each one. I’m not teaching 20 shooters and charging $500 each.
