Advanced Carry class

jmt2566 · Jul 3, 2010

I am thinking about contacting the B.E.L.T. folks to find out about when they have an advanced carry course scheduled. Is anyone else interested in doing one of these courses - I think it would be a good way to meet up with some of the other forum members doing something fun & productive!

I have been thinking about this since you made the post....I think it would be a good thing.
I would be very interested in taking a course like this.

I would almost bet the B.E.L.T. has something like this....or, they maybe could do something like this...

Sounds like fun...Hope we can get some more interest...

On their website ( http://www.belttraining.com/57022.html ) it says that class size is limited 10 people and the cost is $75 per person. I would think that it would be a blast to do in like early fall maybe.

Sounds like a great idea to me. Lets see if we can get enough people interested.

Have you heard of them?

Hmmmm, that sounds like fun, I could go for this.

jmt2566 · Jul 11, 2010

I sent an e-mail to get some info from the B.E.L.T. people. I will post what I find out in this thread. I do not know anything about the group that thebrasilian mentioned but would be interested to hear more about them if anyone knows anything... Maybe it would be worth a trip up there sometime as well!

Here is the response that I got about the B.E.L.T. training class, the price is not $75 like I thought, I guess it is $150 now. So, what do you guys think?:

Jeff, thank you for your interest. We have no Advanced classes scheduled at this time. We usually wait until the fall to begin scheduling and conduct classes due to the hot weather. If you already have a date in mind for your group, let us know and we will be glad to set it up for you. Below is information about the Advanced Carry and Concealment Class.

Course consists of several hours in the classroom, free prepared lunch, and approximately 5 hours on the range.

Prizes will be awarded to those who maintain composure and complete the scenario with the best ?clean? score.

I have hit a block....I have no Certificate of Completion of advanced training, and I have had no military....Guess they don't want people like me....

Oh well...hope you can get a group together.

Sorry we haven't been on the forum lately. Fordnut, we simply require a CWP or proof of training that one has attended CWP training, prior military or LE experience due to the nature of the training. Students will be shooting in a mildly dynamic environment and safe gunhandling skills are paramount. Prior training does not guarantee anything, but it sure helps. If someone does not have the prerequisites, give us a call and we can discuss it. As far as this group goes, we will make it happen!

So far I guess that we have (1)me, (2)R.C. (a friend of mine) and (3)Fordnut...

7 more spots to fill then we need to agree on a date right?

Range Master · Jul 13, 2010

You set the date (remember, cooler is better) and let me know. All to be done then is for everyone who wishes to participate to register on our website at http://www.belttraining.com and submit the deposit. Since we provide lunch, we'll make sure the we turn out a particularly hearty and tasty spread.

gigamortis · Jul 19, 2010

I took their advanced class last year and it was a blast. I have heard since then that more fun stuff has been added to the course. Included in the price is a nice spread of vittles for lunch. You are lucky if you can do any movement after their lunch! That's some good stuff.

Halfcocked · Aug 2, 2010

I've taken their advance course also and it is a blast! Great fellowship,fantastic food and the most fun you can have with your cloths on.

Range Master · Aug 4, 2010
