Anyone interested in a class on reloading pistol ammo?

[gundoc]

I was asked to get a teach a class on basic metallic pistol catridge reloading at Bluegrass Indoor Range. They have had interest in this by some newer shooters. I use Bluegrass Indoor to teach my KY CCDW classes and I also help out with the weekly combat matches on Thursday evenings so they asked if I could teach a class on basic pistol reloading. I have been reloading ammo since I was 12 so not a problem to teach. I have a date for the class and due to a few conflicts the class was put back to Feb. 20th. I have had some people who want to attend taking an IDPA SO class that day so I found another venue for an earlier class. I had class at Silver Creek Conservation Club outside Sellersburg, IN on Jan.30th and it was a great class. Below is my outline for the class and I hope to cover this in 4 to 4.5 hours in the class and another half hour or more on the range. There will be 2 classes and if you can't make it to one then think about the other date.

This sounds great! I have never seen such a class offered before.

What is the cost for the class? Would we need to provide our own supplies?

[gundoc]

Cost is $50.00 and I supply all the components. You will not be loading many but you will learn the basics of pisol cartridge reloading. This is the only way I have been able to shoot as much as I have even when ammo was is short supply. I shoot in a 24 round match every week and do a reshoot after the match. Then 2 weekends a month I shoot a 150 to 200 round match.

I have another basic reloading class date for April 17th at Silver Creek Conservation Club outside Sellersburg IN and the cost is still $50.00 You will need to get on the list for a spot in the class so if interested contact me by PM or reply here.
