Thanks again and glad to hear you enjoyed yourself. TR is still on my wish list.

Thunder Ranch has what is called the "Terminator". It is a two story house with lots of rooms and doors and special target frames that allow the target to drop when hit well... but not if hit poorly. The house is like any other house on the inside... wood walls that bullets go through so you have to be careful in how you engage a "threat" but with concrete filled block as an outside wall on three sides... the 4th side is facing a mountain and is a "no go" zone.... Light levels can be set to various levels and there are shadows everywhere... I used my light in the "lit" scenario anyway... which is what I do when I go into a house searching for probationers/parolees/etc....cause there are dark corners and I have found people hiding in incredibly small dark corners...closests....cupboards etc...so I train it like it's real...
All ammo at Thunder Ranch is frangible.. green stuff... it is the future so we might as well get used to it. If I was going to open a range in this current political environment... it would be a green range.. period... I've owned a regular range and the lead clean up is... well .... a problem...
If you want to go... go now...I'm not sure how long he is going to be doing this and the trend seems to be that he is scheduling fewer classes... You need the 500 bucks for the deposit... a 1000 rds of 45 was about 400 bucks shipped... and then there is hotel etc.... we drove up and back in one day but you can also schedule a fishing trip or whatever as part of a vacation...
In many ways, Clint Smith is one of the movers of the training industry. He was there when there weren't too many people there... he pioneered much of what modern rifle training is about and his urban rifle course is legendary. He is though... all about fundamentals...training, in my opinion is fundamentals practiced... which is why I like Clint smith.... he agrees with me
