Hi all, I have been lurking here for a while and registered on this forum not too long ago, but this is my first actual post and I wanted to use it as a big thank you to Crossfire and Marty for their excellent class today!

My wife Prea and I took the CCW class on NC in 96 when the ink for the conceal carry laws was still wet and it was 8 hours of misery, not so today. The entire time that you are with them is fun and they made the entire learning process very enjoyable, which greatly enhances knowledge retention. We had been wanting to get our CHLs since we moved here in Jan of 06 and had been looking around for a place to take it but living out in Celina, the local choices are slim and all the registered instructors listed on the DPS site that were anywhere near us were no longer reachable or in existence, the list was very outdated. Well, when I picked up my G27 that I had been wanting to add to my collection for years and as a CCW, I ran into Marty. We talked for a few minutes, I knew right away that he was the guy I had been looking for even if it was over an hour drive from our house out here in the country down to Roanoke and the rest as you can say, is history.

I am in no way affiliated with them and I do hope that I am not overstepping any bounds here, but I really want to give them both a big thumbs up and say thank you again

BTW to anyone interested, we both passed first try with flying colors.

Welcome to the Forum. Crossfire is A-1!

You should thank her for allowing you the pleasure of seeing the cutest weiner dog around...

Haha yeah.....

Thank yous are always appropriate on our board. They do a great job in class & Marty is 1st class help w/ reloading.

Who is Marty again?

Marty is Crossfire's husband. He does not post much but he is THE authority on reloading. He knows his stuff. All round great guy to visit w/.

Oh yeah, the tall guy. I might remember him. Doesn't say much. Crossfire does enough talking for the both of them :-D

Is reloading hard and/or expensive? I seem to recall reading some ranges' websites where they say only factory ammo is allowed...

Quote/Question: "Is reloading hard and/or expensive?"

It's not real difficult - if you get taught properly, use quality components and pay attention to what you are doing. Depending upon equipment, there can be considerable expense on the front end getting set up. Then the savings can begin (often if you do not place a lot of value on your time).

Quote: "I seem to recall reading some ranges' websites where they say only factory ammo is allowed..."

It varies greatly, but that is the policy we established at our little range - at least for training and CHL testing. People shooting independently are still allowed to shoot reloads - at their own risk.

Somewhat OT. Reloading is such a specialty, it often rates it's own heading on various forums, even here.
