Well, I know it's been a while since I've been around, life and a new job kind of got the better of me.

That's a heck of a deal!

Wish I'd seen this earlier and didn't already have commitments that weekend.

Yea, it kind of all came together pretty quickly.

If you get free, let me know!

Tinman, I am interested in this, however I am not sure if my equipment is up to par...

I have a Mossberg 500 persuader (front sight only) with an ATI Top Folding Stock (I have an assortment of firearms for the pistol )...

Is this even remotely good enough for this class?

Also, what would you recommend as a sling / ammo carrier?

 

[Tinman]

Yup, that'll work.

Slings are as personal as holsters, everyone likes something different. on my shotguns I prefer the padded VCAS from blue force. It's a 2-point and can be used as a traditional carry strap if you like. really, a traditional carry strap will work, but run what you're comfortable with.

Again for ammo, it's as different as the number of people you ask. I like a side saddle on the gun for immediate action reloads. Just to carry the load to the line, I use a Maxpedition Thermite. I can jam a box and a half of shells in there to keep me on the line for a while. I've also seen folks use the trap vests, or large fanny packs very well. basically, you need to have 4 to 6 shells immediately available for reloads, then carry about a box to the line for proactive loads at the end of the string of fire.
