After looking over CG's gear list for their classes, I have a couple of questions for @Cerberus Group... I'm posting them as a thread instead of an email or PM so that everyone can get involved and we're not all asking the same questions privately. These pertain specifically to the NWFA Run The Gun Course(s).
1) You mention pads or a mat. Will a drag bag suffice? Is this a fairly static course of fire, or would knee/elbow pads be better?
2) Is this geared more towards "real world" equipment? Like a solid belt, holster, mag carrier setup, a USPCA rig, or a battle-belt 'n plate carrier Gecko45 deal? I know which one I'm ready for (I do not currently own an armor-plated briefcase).
3) August in south central Washington... Hot AF, or dress in layers? Shorts a no-go on your course? Rocks? Monsters? Just quit being a baby and wear long pants like a grown-up?
4) Coolers allowed? BYOB accepted, but with considerable gear-toting involved, is parking close enough to run out to your vehicle for a water bottle during breaks, or best to consider the cooler as essential on-site equipment?
There's probably other questions. Most of us will be traveling a couple of hours or more so forgotten or overlooked gear is gear "not on hand" for the duration. I'm not looking for hand-holding, just want everyone involved (including @Cerberus Group personnel) to have an enjoyable and educational experience while not having to deal with a bunch of noob mistakes and/or oversights.
Thanks, guys,
