Another member and I were thinking of heading down to NC on the 29th of May for some semi-advanced carbine training. Problem is, 1) tuition is $600, 2) ammo count is close to 2,000 (factor in another $600), and 3) housing is $85/night for a double.
Anyone from the area interested in going and carpooling/splitting the cost of housing? I know some of you ninjas are over in the sandbox, but if someone happened to be state-side, I'd love to get to know you and shoot with ya. I'm still scrounging up the funds by selling one of my spare ACOGs.
