Student Review: Rifle Manipulation Primer (RMP) 20 June: Lowdown3

On his site HERE Pasted: RMP Review This was the second of the Friday classes I took up at MV Tactical in June. Max states very succinctly in his description that RMP is not “general rifle lite” class. With roughly 4 hours, it truly is a “primer.” My suggestion would be to definitely take the […]

Training Evidence!

If some guys train in the woods in West Virginia and no-one writes a student review or takes a photo, then it didn’t happen. I’m currently up on a 5 (6) day class. Evidence that we are here: RMP Training on Saturday: Till Valhalla! Max  

Student Review: Combat Rifle / Contact Drills (CRCD) 21/22 June: JC

Be Prepared. And Crawl, Walk, Run. I’ve just completed my first Combat Rifle / Contact Drills (CRCD) class. It was excellent. As “Prepper’s” we tend to fixate on stocking up.

CRCD Places Available (predictably)!

Inevitably, and positively, after my post yesterday ‘Changes to MVT Class Attendance Prerequisites‘ I have started to see some rescheduling from Combat Rifle / Contact Drills (CRCD) to the Combat Rifle Manipulation (CRM) class. Where spaces have freed up from previously full classes, I have annotated spaces available on the Class Schedule. Class Schedule. There are plenty of CRCD alumni […]

The MVT Training Facility has been running for just over  a year now and there have been significant developments and additions to the facility itself, and also the training classes being offered.

Patrol/OP Training Videos: For Visual Learners

The following videos are not perfect, and some of them are VERY old school, but they give a good frame of reference to all this talk of observation posts, concealment, and all that. Just take them for what they are and what is relevant to your situation. Discard the rest. You need to add modern […]
