I’m happy to announce another successful pistol permit class is in the books at Ellicottville Sportsmen's Club this past weekend. A sold out class that was eager to learn and was a true pleasure to be with for two days. RAS Group courses are always the closest you will get to working while having fun.

We have another course coming up in June for Ellicottville and also our first pistol permit course happening in May at Westfield Fish and Game Club. Make sure to check out the website to see what dates fit your schedule and get signed up as soon as possible to ensure you don’t miss out, classes are filling faster than usual. Stay safe and stay trained.

Hello Everyone! Some quick updates:

The April pistol permit class has 4 spots remaining as of today. So, if you wanted to get in on a permit class don’t hesitate. But if you’re not quite ready, don’t worry.

The next class in Ellicottville will be June 13/14 and we will also be having the our first ever class at Westfield Fish and Game club May 8/9. We’re very excited to keep getting permits in the hands of great New York residents.

If you or someone you know is in need of getting their permit along with in-depth education, a price no one can beat, and a resource for the journey after the permit is in your hand, send them our way.

Target transitions

This is one of my stages from Florida State this year, ran in the same style I ran most of the stages. Which is the “don’t do it like I just did it” style. However, still some highlights to be had.

Most of my blending and transitions on this stage I wasn’t mad at. This was one of those things that just took me a while to really grasp and understand when I first learned about it. The fact that my visual aggression and patience alike have started to self correct over the last year was a welcome improvement.

The reality is that transitions are a great place to isolate and give bandwidth. You really don’t appreciate how much time is saved until you look back at old match data and video and compare it to where you’re at now.

I’m excited to share some details on specific things in the coming weeks that helped me and that I subsequently use to help my students. Stay safe and stay trained.

Last call to get in on the pistol permit course this weekend at Ellicottville Sportsmen's Club, February 21-22. We’re pretty stoked for all the new things we have in the works for our permit classes, you won’t want to miss out. Sign up at rasgrouptraining.com

We’re coming up on just about 1 week until the next pistol permit class at Ellicottville Sportsmen's Club is a go! You won’t to miss this.

We’ve had the best pistol permit class around. Now, we will be ramping it up even better. One of the biggest complaints we hear is people wish they could shoot more. We get it. With our new in-class offering, now you can. This gives us the chance to keep costs extremely low for those who want to maintain what RAS Group already gives them while also offering the chance to get more rounds down range for those who want to. All still at an affordable rate even with the added option.

Class Is February 21-22 and you can sign up at rasgrouptraining.com

We hope to see you there!

In addition to pistol permit, next class coming up February 21-22nd by the way, the biggest thing we do is private coaching and personal skill development. It allows us to meet any student where they are currently and build with them from there. And with our rental program, you can even start before you have your permit in hand. Drop a comment below or send me an email at [email protected] if you are interested in further details.

See you there!

Fun stage from Monsoon Tactical Demo Day this year.

This is also your reminder that if your instructor doesn’t compete, hasn’t competed, or otherwise put themselves to the test, you should probably find someone new to learn from.

The reality is that shooting is shooting. No matter what context you want to give it, it’s all the same. There is no such thing as a “tactical” way to shoot or a “competitive” way to shoot, all the same.

My question to those that disagree is this:

If you can’t promise success against stationary cardboard, how could you ever promise success in defending your life?

Don’t fall for hype buzz words like “defensive” “tactical” “real world”. If the best thing they have to market is the resume of a prior life, then that’s what you’re getting; knowledge from too many years ago.

Stay safe and stay trained.

December 27/28 will be our last available pistol permit class this year, happening at Ellicottville Sportsmen's Club. There’s no reason to put off starting your CCW application process until 2026. Despite having the best best price around of $225, I don’t even believe that’s our best sales pitch. Our best sales pitch is that we provide the best experience for our students, hands down. We don’t give you generic guidance and “rule of thumb” advice. We give you the same advise and way of doing things we would to our high-performance students. We don’t believe in bandaid fixes and stringing you along. You should learn the right way the first time around. The problem is, there’s not many pistol permit classes out there that can provide that. Some, but many. Get signed up at rasgrouptraining.com and feel free to reach out with questions. Stay safe and stay trained.

Most people don’t believe me when I tell them that time frame from a pistol permit class to this is not nearly as long as they believe it would be. It’s not about the amount of hours spent when it comes to fi****ms training. It is having the proper guidance and understanding out of the gate. Knowing that the path doesn’t have to consist of detours and frustration found in subpar training programs by those who don’t truly understand the fundamentals of handgun shooting. Getting your permit will never be enough. Permission doesn’t equal proficiency. From day one to your first match and after, RAS Group has your back. Stay safe and stay trained.
