Furlong Academy Courses in Manitoba.

Wolverine Supplies is fortunate enough to have the pleasure and privilege to partner up with the fine fellows from the Rob Furlong Marksmanship Academy.

This is also allowing us to have RFMA come HERE to Manitoba to teach a couple of courses this year. This is a fantastic opportunity for the Manitoba/eastern Sask shooting community
to take advantage of some great training provided by a top notch training school.

We are looking at offering up a couple of courses this year, one in mid august, the other right at the start of October.

We are putting this out to you, the shooters, as the folks who would be interested in coming to these courses.
We aren't able to offer any of the long range courses this year but we can offer the level 1 pistol and carbine courses.

What we are trying to judge is the interest in which courses? Right now as we are trying to finalize all the details we can offer them as the following

1. one level 1 pistol course and one level 1 carbine course

2. Two level 1 pistol courses

3. Two level 1 carbine courses.

We would then look at offering the advanced courses next year. Bearing in mind that these courses are only open for 10 to 12 students, we are asking what you folks would like to see.
Let us know what courses or combos you would most be interested in and we will get it set up for you, then let you know how to register, costs etc.

This is a fantastic opportunity for Manitoba, with more to come!!
 
Mid August is a no go due to harvest. But could I sign up for the October one already? Either pistol or carbine is fine with me. I've been looking to find a training course to go to in MB. Thanks, Wolverine.
 
No but I have the beens planted lol just checking to
see if you were awake to the US of A pronunciation of the Carbine and ya was!:)
 
What does a course like this typically cost? I know you're working out the details but a rough estimate from similar courses? And is a valid PAL/RPAL all that's required to participate?

And are there any restrictions on what type of Rifle/Pistols aren't allowed? I don't own any AR-15's but I own an 858. I also haven't purchased my first Pistol yet so something like this might be a factoring decision in which Pistol I acquire first?

Sorry for the newbie questions but I've never looked into any training courses before.
 
wow...thats interesting.
how long would the course be? ie. 1 week end or a multi day/ week end sorta deal?
also when are you actually planning these? summer is too hot and fall come fast and with a vengeance in your part of the woods.

mid august and first part of october as stated in my first post..two days on a weekend.....if it's too hot or too cold then that is your call but it will always be too hot or to cold for some folks. It is Canada after all.

Check out the RFMA website and you will get an idea of the costs and what the courses consist of and the requirements.
the courses are normally in the $800 each range. RFMA is away working right now but they will be updating info for me fairly soon.
 
Wow! Price is really out there. I was expecting maybe $50 - $250.
I guess that's the difference between a for profit outfit and my local non-profit gun club. :)
