    Default Handgun Training

    Would any of the POG members be interested in a FREE two day handgun training seminar here in Quanah, Texas?

    The course would cover the basics. Regardless of your skill level you will learn something. I teach the modern method of pistolcraft as taught by the late Jeff Cooper.

    This covers, stance, safety, reloading, use of the holster, trigger control, flash sight picture and etc... This would be a very busy two days.

    We could make this into a mini-rally here in Quanah. I did one of these a few years ago for some of our Airstream friends. It was a lot of fun and I felt like they got a lot out of it.

    I can handle three buses across from my house at NO charge. We have a Rv park near here that has 50 amp and etc...

    We might have to rent the firing range. Normally if you buy your ammo from them there is NO charge for range use. I would just have to work that out.

    I would put a limit of 24 students. Due to weather and my schedule we would have to look at early spring.

    Any ideas on this ???

    Wow Bill! That's a very generous offer and I would love to do it.

    Unfortunately, I don't expect to be in Texas for quite some time, but an unofficial POG firearms training seminar would be great!

    Bill, mark me down as very interested. May help inspire to buy the new gun I have been thinking about off and on. Very nice offer - thanks.

    Bill, Jan and I are both licensed to carry and shoot weekly. That being said, we would still enjoy a refresher course and the chance to spend some time in West Texas. I'll even volunteer to park next to Gordon (if it's only a couple of days.)

    Bill,
    Thank you for the offer to help me shoot straight. However, that would make me lose my position in "the Gang". You have to think about that one for a moment.
    PLease accept my confirmation of interest to attend. If you can put the activity together, Betty and I will bring lunch for the POG crew if it fits the day's schedule or will provide it for an evening dinner. If its a big group, I will pull my pit to Quanah. I know where it is because it is exactly half way between Houston and Winter Park. Don't ask me how I know that useless and little known fact.
    Please keep me posted and thank you again.
    very best,

    So far so good. It looks like we have three buses or 6 shooters so far. It would be nice to have a minimum of 18 people. We shall see.

    Regan the offer sounds good.

    Put me down as tentative. There is a CC rally in Kerrville May 19 - 23 that we will attend if our schedule allows. It would be great to tie in your training rally with this event. I would love to learn from a Jeff Cooper instructor as the 1911 is my favorite gun.

    Bill,

    Any chance we could get someone there that could issue the Texas folks their concealed carry license? Rae and I would both be up for that.

    Bill,
    Ditto on the concealed gun permit application person JDUB requested. I went through the training and paid a fee along with several others but did not file the final application. The instructions were elementary and the test simplistic. I believe the cost was $150?
    Thank you.

    Bill,

    Put me down as tentative. I am with Jerry; if we could get the concealed handgun permit at the same time I would be very interested.
