Classes in WS?

[Parker]

Does anyone know of any classes in the WS area that they've vetted and can approve of? I'd also like to mix in some land nav and trauma.

I’ve taken the Basic Long Range course at Coleman’s Creek & will be taking their Advanced course next weekend. So far, so good - gorgeous range. I know they have a Land Nav course

I think this would be a perfect fit. https://www.apexdefensegroup.com/
I have taken several of his classes and Ryan is solid!

Another vouch for Apex. Ryan is a great dude and every class I've taken has been worth 2x the price.

You may also get to bump into some other CFFers 😉

I have taken a bunch of classes with Apex and they're a good value for sure. A couple of other places fairly close to Winston:

Apache Solutions. They teach their own classes, but also host a ton of top national instructors. Visitors lined up in the coming months include John Murphy, Tim Herron, Chuck Haggard and Brian Hill. Their classes are in Yadkinville. https://www.facebook.com/ApacheSolutionsLLC/

Spectrain. The lead instructor is USPSA GM Billy Barton. I've shot at matches with him and he's very impressive. Haven't seen him teach, though. Their classes are in Hamptonville. https://www.spectrain.us/

The only folks in the west I know who do 'tactical' trauma is SOAR (https://www.soarescue.com/about) in Charlotte. @NCMedic may know more. Really, starting with a Stop the Bleed (https://www.stopthebleed.org/) and a Red Cross or American Heart Association basic first aid is the best way to start.

Ryan at Apex does a fair amount of medical stuff. I did his TacMed class--8 hours. It covered some stuff I personally will definitely not try to use, like decompression needles for tension pneumothorax and such. (I've got a needle in my trauma kit, though, in case anyone around me is willing to stick someone who needs it. My wife's an RN--I think she could pull it off!) But mostly it was very good, relevant info and it had some scenario training and other ways to make you think under a little pressure. He includes medical units in other classes, too--there's a medical block in both the armed and unarmed active shooter classes, for example. I don't know exactly what his formal background is for teaching this, but I can say that I've done medical blocks with other trainers, including at the FASTER active shooter class at TDI in Ohio (as well as a basic stop the bleed, etc), and what Ryan is teaching, and how he teaches it, lines up with what I've learned elsewhere.
