Milcopp 3 day Carbine/Pistol June 7,8,9 UPDATED 1-6!!!!

Postby gravediggerfour » Mon Jul 16, 2012 6:45 pm

I am pleased to announce that Movement to Contact Tactical will be hosting Milcopp Tactical for a 3 day Carbine/ Pistol class June 7,8,9 2013 at the Big Piney Sportsman's club in Houston, MO.

More details to follow over the next few months to include camping arrangements possibly on site at the range.

Here is a link to the AAR thread from this past event.

viewtopic.php?f=111&t=95738

Here is the video.



Stay tuned for updates!

Update as of 1 March

In:

RG
Braxton
Kutter
Crypto
Red eyes
KC
Dannis Maximus +1
The Last One
Greg focker +1


Maybe:


Stimpy31972
cordanii

Resolute


Price is going to be $600 for 3 days.

This is a three day class not a stand alone one day with two days behind it like last year.

Round count is yet to be determined due to the current political climate.

$100 dollar minimum deposit to get a slot reserved.

For payment information please contact dave@milcopptactical.com or don@milcopptactical.com

This is going to be a great three days of intense training!

More information to come!

Highly recommended. Find a way to make this happen for yourself. Great range, great host, great instructors, great learning experience, great time. Watch GD4 shoot a dragonfly from 20 feet. Watch Braxton put 45 bullets in an even smaller hole even faster next year. Learn how to do the Scarlett Johanson.

Just go.

Well shit a chicken, GD4. Wife originally said "no" to two training classes in two months, but here's the deal: If your class in my AO gets traction and gets up and running, AND I can run it with some of my family members and my wife, then I'll do that. But...I've also talked her into letting me do the 2-day advanced Sat. and Sun. at MilCopp as well.

I'm assuming same rules as this year, where the Friday is a beginner class. Since your class will be an intro class as well, then this should work out.

So barring acts of God, that's what I'm penciled in for. If I can't do your local class or it doesn't happen, then I'm in for all three days.

I'm just gonna... write this on the calendar... like my wife already signed off...

And if she doesn't like it, I'll give her that "The plans have been available at your local planning office for 11 months!" bit.

Man, I miss Doug Adams...

Attention everyone that is interested: This course is scheduled, as in that is when (not if) it's going to happen, nearly a whole damn calendar year in advance. This gives everyone time to:

1. Save money.
2. Work on gear setup.
3. Buy gear.
4. Research gear.
5. Save money.
6. Buy ammo.
7. Lose 10-40 pounds.
8. Get in shape.
9. Have major joint replacement surgery.
10. Broker a deal with the wife (did that in about 7 1/2 minutes last night, only because of how pleasant I was to be around after the last MilCopp).
11. Test your gear.
12. Save money.
13. Find a hotel/motel/camper
14. ELIMINATE EXCUSES

So, you know, 11 months is a lot of time. Think of it as a vacation, to a war zone, where no one actually shoots back, and there are potty breaks, and you get to eat out every night, and you learn how to be safer and more awesome with your guns.

Someone copy/paste Braxton's endorsement from the MilCopp SC thread here... :clap:

We had a guy bring an AR pistil once. We even let him try to use it. Thankfully, he also brought an AR. But as an aside, no, AR pistols don't count in this class...

And you didn't take video to post on your blog?

Here's hoping I'll be both in the area and in the black enough to attend.

Braxton wrote:Gonna put my 2 cents in.

If you are reading this, and you are on the fence about going to the class.

I want to speak directly to you. Are you paying attention? Good.


Do what ever you need to do to make this class. Sell blood, semen, houses, cars, whatever you need to do to get to this class. I have been to three of these classes in the last three years, and let me tell you, there is nothing like it.

See this guy?
Image

That was me.

Fat , slow, and more than likely mentally challenged.


Now see this guy.

Image

Still fat , still slow , and yes still eats his share of play dough when left alone.

But you see that Gun? He can use it now better than he ever has.

Doc and Dave will show you the RIGHT way to use the tools that you have spent so much money and time to acquire .

If you went out and got a new CNC machine , would you just fire it up and hope for the best? Or would you go to some classes to find out how to use it? A gun is nothing more than a tool, Get your ass to a class to learn how to use that tool correctly. Dave and Doc are awesome instructors. If you don't learn how to do something better at a Milcopp class, You are Special Forces already or did not come to learn.

Now to the other part..

Class IS FUN.


What do you do when you go to the range? Sit at a bench? Stand at 25 yards and punch holes in paper? This is some of what you will be doing at a Milcopp class.

Dave_M wrote:Alright, how about some real action cam footage


Ill give you a sec to recover from that, Smoke a cig and calm down..


Back? Better now?

Cool.

So by this point you are throwing your shit in a bag to pack for class. What? Your still undecided? What the fuck is wrong with you?

Take one more look at this guy,

Image

God what a simple bastard,

Now look at him!
Image


That's Right! That poor slow fuck learned enough in three classes to be the top shot.

HOW WAS THIS POSSIBLE?

The instruction at Milcopp is that good. They took me, Straight from the short buss and showed me what I was doing wrong. The simple truth is , I am now a better shooter due to Doc And Dave. I Know how to use my tools better, and knowing is 1/2 the battle.

Want more? Fine. Jesus Ok

If you go to a Milcopp class, and are not 100% satisfied, I will come to your house and refund your full tuition plus travel and ammo cost.*


*this is a lie. And you should feel bad for believing it. Seriously what the fuck is wrong with you?

I now will return you to your thread.

Thanks for reading.


Fine. I'll do it then. Everyone that has their reasonable preps sorted and their shit together: Consider saving up, working out, building up, and coming on to get you a piece of badass and good times that you can take home with you.

Pink sparkly dildo may or may not be included. It's in the range bag ready to go though for anyone that wants it.

I'm going to work very hard to be in for this one. Have to say that its sounds like a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to learning all of this (or at least as much as I can). I'm a noob and I'm bringing an AK.

edit: and now my head is about to explode after having read what I should do with my AK to make it workable.

Ok, I am motivated without the added endorsements, I have read, re-read and lusted over the previous MIlcopp classes for a long time . So the important thing for me is how much is it going to cost in 2013' dollars/peso's/euro's/yuan ??



edit: GD4, you can put me in as a strong maybe !!!!

I did a little reading, seems the Missourians renamed to "Houston (after Samuel Houston)", and "Texas" in support of the fledgling Texas Republic.

So, I've read the posts about battle belts and all that (including on how to be a good noob - thanks for that, by the way). But looking at finances and with the post just above on cost - what's the chance of someone like myself (starting out with a rifle but no rig (chest, belt or otherwise) - and very little money) going through this training? I want to get the training, but at this point, it's either buy a usable set up or take the training, but not both.

My thinking (because I'm an egghead academic) is what's the point in having a rig if I don't have any training!

Thoughts?

sorry if this is getting to off topic.

I'm in the same boat and was lurking until you posted up. :P

I'd LOVE to take a course with you guys but I am lacking in accessories and ammo (and the money for them) at the moment.
