PDN 2012 National Training Tour Update: Week 6

All right, week six, Personal Defense Network Training Tour. And here's our update. I'm in Camden, Tennessee today. And this is actually the map wall at the infamous team room, here at tactical response. James Yeager is hosting me here in middle Tennessee, for four days of training, combat focus shooting, advanced pistol handling and some combat focus carbine.

We're gonna break out the Daniel defense rifles on Thursday and do some shooting with the students. We'll make sure we get some footage into next week's update. There'll also be some footage from conversations that James and I are having during the week. And you get to see some pictures from the class. Of course you can check out our Facebook page, for combat focus shooting.

You'll be able to see those as well. Also, as far as Facebook pages go, Personal Defense Networks Facebook page, got over 5000 likes on the like mark, as of last week. So, if you haven't been over there, you haven't checked out what we're doing, what we're talking about. We've always got some great conversations. Putting out questions, asking you your opinions.

And of course, asking you what you want to hear in the videos from Personal Defense Network. Or what you'd like to see our contributors write articles about. So if you haven't liked our page, go on over there. In fact, you may as well take 10, 15 minutes to check out all of our sponsors', Facebook pages, check out all of our instructors' Facebook pages, our host venues, just get out there on Facebook and really see what's going on in the Personal Defense Network community. Meanwhile, I've started the last big leg of the tour for me.

From here, it's completely westward. I head out to Seattle, of course. It's for the end of the tour in mid July. So for two months, I'm on the road. My first leg of the tour was up the east coast.

Then I was actually based in Ohio, where I'm headquartered for a couple weeks. I was teaching there. And you've seen some footage from there. Heard from some of those students and some of the other guys that were teaching. Some of the host venues.

And then of course, I was up in New England at one point. And this last week, I was actually down in Florida, with one of our PDN tour sponsors, Mark Craighead, of CrossBreed Holsters. I was invited to shoot on the CrossBreed Holsters team. At the Shooting with SOF event, which was really great. It was a great fundraiser.

We were actually teamed up with an army special forces Master Sergeant. And three of us shot with him. We shot three stages. There were about 125 competitors. I don't do a lot of competitive shooting, but it was a lot of fun.

And corporate raised money for a good cause. And there was a good party afterwards and everything else. Everything you wanted, a good charity fundraising event. We're continuing on. I've got about 20 some odd classes left.

Several more stops. Our other instructors are still busy. And there's even a couple of instructors we haven't heard from yet, this year on the tour. You're gonna get to hear from them in future updates. Keep an eye on us, visit us at personaldefensenetwork.com.

Take a few minutes to check out those Facebook pages. And again, be sure to thank our sponsors for supporting the Personal Defense Network tour. At CrossBreed Holsters, basically, we concentrate on holsters and good equipment for concealed carry. Not doing too much in the tactical market. But basically, we concentrate on equipping either the licensed CCW civilian or the off-duty or undercover operator and having the best gear possible to conceal their weapon.

Keep it comfortable and with them at all times. And we're getting pretty popular. We've had a lot of growth in the past four or five years. We've changed the industry in some significant ways. And we are the home of the world famous, SuperTuck.

You can check us out at dubdubdub.crossbreedholsters. And today, we're in Tampa, Florida. At the Shooting with Special Forces event. It's the first annual event that brings special forces operators and business leaders together, to meld their skills, so they can learn from each other and move forward with partnerships and networking. Let's go!
