Notes and Comments from Alumni Weekend by JeffSags After spending another weekend in West Virginia I wanted to share a few observations from the recent Alumni Weekend. Those of us in attendance essentially bartered 7 hours of hard work for a bbq, good company and some great instruction on the square range. Everyone had a […]

Student Review: Combat Rifle Manipulation (CRM) – R Why you NEED THIS course. My wife and I attended the CRM on May 31 and June 1.  Our instructor was Aaron. Our objectives were to reinforce and expand on training received in a previous class with another trainer.  The MVT Combat Rifle Manipulation class far exceeded […]

Above: Class at the new MVT square range, the range is not fully complete in the photo. I’ve seen a  couple of things over on the forum that make me wonder if people are reading the website/blog? Is it easily navigable? Anyhow, I saw something on the forum post ‘Tactics for the newbie? Where to start?’ that […]

H/T to Ryan @ TSLRF for finding this video. The instructor covers safety in the video. A couple of things that I would adjust to the way we do it at MVT: 1) There is no need for the 270 degree pirouette. Muzzle down and out of the way of your buddy(s), turn 90 degrees […]

I had my hand surgery yesterday to get the hardware out, which allowed me to milk the opportunity to lay on the sofa and catch up on watching ‘Lone Survivor.’ What a great movie. I’ve heard a lot about this portrayal of Operation Red Wings and yes, it’s a MOVIE and some of the portrayed […]

Safety was First and Foremost. Aaron was able to direct us in the different exercises and whether we were inexperienced with […]

The Alumni Weekend was a great success and we got a lot done; Jungle clearance, grilling, socializing and shooting. Thank you to all who showed up. We managed to clear out most of the valley that had been choked by felled trees with the construction of  the new road and square range. It is now a […]

The MVT Forum has been running for a couple of months now and is seeing a lot of traffic. I created the forum as a sort of offshoot to the blog that was intended to take on a life of its own – where I no longer had to moderate comments that had become whole conversations on […]

People do this really annoying thing – it’s called rescheduling, and occasionally cancelling. It’s left me with what were originally full upcoming classes, with some spaces available. I also want to draw your attention to the new Combat Rifle Manipulation (CRM) Class. We ran the first class last weekend and it, as well as the instructor […]

Student Review: TC3/RMP/CRCD by Rob I drove from Southern Illinois to West Virginia this past weekend to attend Max’s TC3/RMP/CRCD triad of classes. I’m sure glad I did. It was an enjoyable and valuable experience all around. Here are some of my thoughts and opinions: Combat Lifesaver (TC3) Class MVT’s bread and butter is weapons […]
