AVAILABLE TRAINING – West Virginia Site
I am now ready to offer the first two tactical self-defense training weekends at the Max Velocity Tactical training site in West Virginia: ‘Ricochet Ridge’ located in Hampshire County WV.
I have availability on the following weekends:
11-12 May
25-26 May
Focus: Combat Rifle, Contact Drills
These are designed as two day courses, so preference will be given to those bookings rather than single days. The specific training schedule will be worked out based on the capabilities and desires of the attendees. Safety will not be infringed and training will follow the ‘crawl-walk-run’ principle adapted to your capabilities and competence levels. Don’t be intimidated about coming: the training is designed to raise your skill levels.
(If you have different training requirements, perhaps you want to make use of airsoft to save on live rounds, or other training requests, please contact me to discuss. Flexibility is important).
The training will take place in an undeveloped woodland location
Basic Equipment Required:
Fighting Rifle
Fighting Load-Out (Ammo/load carrying gear: vest/battle belt/plate carrier etc.)
Minimum 360 rounds of rifle ammo
Training will take place in the woods, therefore bring: suitable boots with ankle support, long pants etc.
Accommodation: There is a campsite nearby for tents or RV/Trailers and some local hotels/motels within easy driving distance. Detailed instructions will be sent to attendees.
Cost: $400 per person for the weekend.
Congrats on getting the facility set up. I was working not a stone’s throw from that area several weeks back….will have to ping you next time I am over that way.
AWESOME!!!!!
Between now and then what materials would be essential reading prior to committment?
Its not essential to read anything prior to attending. However I do recommend reading ‘Contact! A Tactical Manual for Post Collapse Survival’ and ‘Patriot Dawn: The Resistance Rises’ if you really want to understand the concepts behind the training and where I am coming from with it. But not essential, its a practical course.
Hey Max, this sounds great but a few questions for you….What will be the class size? Min/max number of trainees? Will it be ok to come as an individual or is this training geared towards prexisting groups/squads? Thanks and good luck with it!
Its a mix, flexible. It depends on who signs up – first come first served. I’m talking to individuals and small groups right now about the May training. Come as an individual, a couple of buddies or a larger group.
As a general rule I limit total class size to 12 to keep the quality up, but again if a larger group wanted to come I would pull in more help.
I am also open to groups booking out a weekend in order to do specific training that they request. The weekends in May are advertised as open classes but you could for instance book a future weekend for your team to do team or squad tactics, patrolling or whatever tickles your fancy.
Future availability is likely to include one weekend towards the end of June and then roughly two weekends a month beyond that.
If the demand keeps coming I will give up my day job and lay courses on during the week.
Email me with your specific requirements and I can see if we can fit it into the May availability.
Will you be doing those again? Sadly that many. .223 and. .45 rounds would cut into my reserve and i can’t find enough ammo right now to buy ahead. Late Summer? Fall?
I’ll keep rolling the dates out, check back for updates.
Max, Have read all three of your books(yes I bought them) and they are very very good and I will attend training at your facility as soon as I can arrange it…Keep up the good work esp. the FLIR related info. I like your writing style in the novel esp. in that it is a “how to” manual in disguise and does an excellent job of pointing out pitfalls in circumstance and human nature etc…a lot of “don’t do this” by example…you get ny highest marks along with Capt. Rawles….
Hello Max I tried NOT to be anon but the filter didn’t like my e-mail addr.
Max do you rent out 30 round mags as some of us who are considering taking your course are from the Peoples Republic of New York and are no longer allowed to possess them?
I have a few extras that you could use as loaners. I wouldn’t rent something like that out to a paying client. Ammo is a different matter. If you had none and I had extra, I would have to sell it to you, same price as I can get it at. Dans Ammo has been good to me in the past, I haven’t checked availability in the last month or so.
