A few weeks ago we brought you a quick announcement about a new training event. Now that some time has passed, we have some more details, so we're here to fill those gaps, so to speak. Some of you may be familiar with Revolver Roundup. For those who aren't, that is a 3-day event hosted at Gunsite Academy, in Arizona. A celebration of the wheelgun, it largely focuses on "duty" size guns, with some support for more carry focused pieces sprinkled throughout. While Gunsite is the Mecca of American firearms training, it isn't the easiest to get to for some shooters. Luckily that hasn't been lost on the instructor cadre. Enter the Snub Round Up.
What is the Snub Round Up?
Snub Round Up is a two day training event, hosted in South Carolina. If the name didn't give it away, the focus is entirely on the snub nose revolver. Shooters will have the opportunity to train with some of the most knowledgeable revolver instructors in the game. Your ticket buys you a slot in each course offered, ensuring all bases are covered for the training weekend. Topics range from one handed shooting, to snub specific carry locations, intricacies of effective reloads, and more.
Snub Round Up's instructors are comprised of legendary lawmen from all across the country. Shooters will receive instruction from Darryl Bolke, Chuck Haggard, Wayne Dobbs, and Bryan Eastridge. If you've been around here long enough, you've seen each of those names pop up on more than one occasion. I've trained with each of those men on more than one occasion, and wholeheartedly recommend you do so too.
When and Where is the Event?
Course dates for the Snub Round Up are 03-04 August of this year. Safety briefing begins at 7:00AM local time on the first day of training. For those extra motivated, a facility tour and extra in-brief will be offered at 6:00PM on 02 August.
The event is taking place at the Sawmill Training Complex in Laurens, South Carolina. The exact address can be found below. Lodging is available on site to ease the logistical burden for those traveling.
What to Bring to Class
Students will need 500 rounds of ammunition for the weekend. There are no caliber restrictions, even rimfire rounds like .22LR and .22WMR are acceptable here. Instructors recommend you bring your actual carry gear; at least one snub nose revolver, a quality holster, and support equipment. I suggest bringing loading devices such as speed strips, speed loaders, a Galco 2x2x2 pouch, and similar.
More details will come about additional gear through American Fighting Revolver.
