WOW!  Can you believe this is the 4th of July weekend?  Where has this year gone?  Well, I have lost track of time to the point that June came and went without me sending out a newsletter.  That is why this newsletter is a double issue covering both June and July.  Sorry...

 Last weekend we had a great day at the Fernan Rod and Gun Club.  It was our annual trek to this awesome facility to teach my Advanced Carbine class.  It was the first time in three years that we did not get rained on.  

The picture to the left shows the 16 students who attended the class shooting their rifles one handed.  I know that brought a smile to a number of you pistol students as you can see my philosophy of having the ability to shoot and manipulate your firearm with both hands includes the rifle.  Yes, that's right.  The students shot, loaded, cleared malfunctions and much more with both hands and one handed as well.

Everyone including the re-takes were excited about the new format and the changes we have included in the Advanced Carbine class.  We have modified our Basic Carbine class as well so don't hesitate to re-take the basic class as you will see a significant difference from the last time you took it.

Just a reminder...if you're signed up for a class at Center Target Sports, please make sure you check the website/in house flyer/or call a staff member to make sure you have all the required equipment for the class.  When you wait until the class begins to buy a holster or ammo, you hold up the entire class and everyone gets frustrated.  Thank you.

A special thank you to Kelly.  I know many of you appreciate all that Kelly does for you when you come into our facility.  We are so lucky to have her as a member of our team. 

What most of you don't know is she is an awesome task oriented employee.  In fact, in the last few months, she wrote a Grant (Video Simulation System) request for us.  Last week we were notified that we received the grant.  Great job Kelly!!

This new state-of-the-art simulation system will allow us to improve and expand every facet of our training programs.  From the handgun familiarity classes to the most advanced defensive/tactical classes we will be able to raise the bar and challenge students like never before.

Look for a FREE youth hunters "Test Your Skills" program that we will be offering as soon as we receive the equipment.  This simulation system will allow us to put shooters/hunters through a virtual hunt scenario.  After the shot is taken we will be able to review and see the actual shot impact and we will be able to verify a hit or miss to vital areas and reinforce ethical hunting practices.

This is just one way we intend to use the simulator and also provide a very important service to our community.  These "Test your Skills" seminars will be free to all youth hunters under the age of 16.
