Phoenix and Arizona Training Group with Doug Little

[Doug Little]

Gents and Ladies,

When the weather cools down a bit, I want to get an alumni training group together. We've been bouncing this around in various classes and it is time to get it organized.

I will have records of anyone who has trained with me and if you've attended an SI course, you got a course completion certificate. Bring a copy and you'll be good to go.

All of you know how difficult it is to practice skills learned in SI courses since you can't do this stuff at most of the public ranges in the Phoenix area.

What I'd like to do is this...

Let's organize a couple of dates, probably a Saturday in late October or early November. We'll do a couple of four hour sessions...one rifle and one pistol on each day. We can do a picnic lunch at Ben Avery so that everyone gets a chance to meet either before or after the session. I will provide all the beverages (non-alcoholic of course).

I'm thinking that the cost would be $60 per person per session which would include range fees and targets plus the drills and coaching.

I will put together a bunch of drills that we can run through after a safety briefing and warm up. We will combine some stuff from DPS, CRG and Point Shooting in the Pistol portion.

In the Rifle session, we will do some CQB and longer range stuff with some simple team drills at the end. On the rifle course, it would be critical to bring a ZEROED rifle. We won't have the time to zero anyone...

I am thinking about a 150-200 round count for each session.

What do you say? Who is interested? We probably will need to keep the size limited to 12 per session to insure plenty of trigger time. If we get lots of interest, we can set up additional dates.

OK...up to you guys now. Let me hear from you.

It's usually under a '100' by All Hallow's Eve . Just name the date and if you need any help with prep....

Doug is an instructor extraordinaire! Be there or be sorry!

If it would be beneficial, we could donate some gear to support this effort. A couple of us have trained with Gabe, although not as a complete class of instruction. However, US PALM does fully endorse his teachings and wish to support any effort to further the doctrine.

US Palm,

You are totally welcome.

I'll schlep up, and might have one or two others to pitch the idea to. Heat's not really an issue, but let's get past the floods and lightning strikes.

Pistol/rifle portions: I assume you want to limit attendance to those who've trained in the respective disciplines? Or can a pistol grad train on rifle?

Hi Doug,

My wife and I took your M4 class back in May and are in for all of them. It's great that you are wiling to organize this. We appreciate your effort and look forward to trigger time with you again.

Hello Doug, the last class I have done was the Advanced AK back in 2009. I want to take the pistol class in Dec. I live in Phoenix and I would absolutely love to do ANY type of refresher course. Please keep me posted. October weather is terrific in the desert- sunny, hot, and dry.

If all goes well and I can take your Oct 15-16 class, I will be there for sure. Just moved to AZ and need to get the training started!

Hi Doug,

I hope all is well with you. This sounds like a great idea; please put me down on your interested list and let me know the details when you can.

Thanks

Simon

I started it to find people to train with but I would be happy to have more experienced people involved.
