Custom Class

The custom classes seem to be getting more popular. I've done 3 this month alone. Me and some other guys pioneered the custom class concept years ago.

A lot of companies nowadays really fuck up the whole idea and make it more of a "tactical sampler" platter (5 day pistol,carbine, CQB, freefall, fire and movement, machine gun, etc.) as opposed to a real custom course. This can be dangerous to all involved. It's best to say no when no needs to be said, instead of saying yes to just make a buck.

Below are a few pics from a small custom job we just finished today. 3 days total utilizing BW for the facilities and a central East coast locale. A great deal of experience with this crew so one day of carbine and then some deep concealment pistol work was no problem.

The High Road

It's the best way to go, no matter what. Even when people steal my stuff years after I first did it, or purposely give me no credit for helping them get where they are, I refuse to become a keyboard badass. I don't see the point in ruining a guys reputation over high school shit. I'll handle it in person, or they'll hear about it from other like minded folks like me I'm sure.

Two of my brothers, Tom Kier and JD Potynsky, turned me on to the saying, which I've simplified-

"The truth belongs to everyone, only lies belong to the individual"
