January 2026 Training Update

GENERAL:

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

WORLD

Interesting times as always.  In our Constitutional Republic, when we take our eye off the “system,” it tends to go rogue against us.  Politicians see the path to wealth in elected office instead of hard work and representation.

Looking at Minnesota, it is a crime syndicate, as are many other state governments.  One cannot simply blame democrats for this, as we all know, this is what they are, self-serving and crooked. It is in their nature. Looking the other way towards Republicans, they knew this was happening and allowed it. They share a bit of the blame.

While I like the idea of “young or new blood” in politics, many young people are idealists with not much experience or business sense.  We put them into political positions where they spend our money without thought and it will cost us more money as they generally screw up decisions and spend it twice.  The American Taxpayer works harder for bad business practices.

The Media is embroiled in the corruption. How much are they worth when a YouTuber with a cell phone camera can highlight all the Somali daycare fraud in one day? The Media has leftist agendas with no background as to what it really means to live that lifestyle.

Federal LE should be channeling at least 50% of their microscope/efforts toward corruption within the American Government instead of chasing phantom conspiracies generated by intel heads within the same government. This includes IRS Task Forces.  Look at the politicians before you look at the American People.  We are making money.  They are stealing it.

I thought these Federal LE agencies were established to protect the American People. 

Prove it.

2 DAY MID-RANGE RIFLE CLASS

CSAT will conduct a 2 Day Mid-Range Rifle Class.

We want the students to be confident with the platform in their hand using the one-golf club approach to solve many tactical problems.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED:     Rifle with a 1:8/1:7 Twist Barrel

TRAINING CONCEPT:      We will start in the classroom with training videos and move to the flat range for calibration.  From there, we will work a known distance on Sniper Hill to show individual weapon drop and the impact of the wind.

BARRACKS

While the barracks has saved many students money in the past, I must unfortunately raise the rent.  To stay there for a two- or three-day class, it is $100 extra to class tuition.  Power, water, AC/Heat has all gone up as well as maintenance and maintenance contracts.  Send any complaints to Joe Biden, PODUS. Also, if you are a current LEO paying on your own dime, the barracks increase does not apply to you.  

RANGE

With a day of dozer work, we were able to add several feet to the berms and clean the service road behind the berms.

IN CLOSING

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you on the range.
