Title: 2026.08.29 Pistol Clinic - Denver - Skyline Hunting and Fishing Club
Post by: codefogey on August 30, 2026, 03:21:18 PM
A one day Pistol Clinic in the warm (but not oppressive) Colorado sunshine.

Eight shooters on the line, with both first time students and seasoned shooters.

Thanks again to the Skyline Hunting and Fishing Club, and their sponsor, Lockheed Martin Space.

thanks for the great class and the amazing instructors!

my situation did turn out to be the red dot shifting, the left screw has loosened a bit after 4,800 rounds since install. i put blue loctite on the screws but did not clean the slide threads thinking it's new should be clean  ;D

A suggestion if I may - get a white fine point paint marker and use it to make witness marks after tightening the screws to spec. That way, if they ever work loose again, you will be able to tell at a glance.

Amazing instruction, especially by Flux who is indeed a gifted instructor.  The entire day was operated professionally and  efficiently.  Very user friendly. I drove 8 hours to attend this clinic and was not disappointed and positively surprised when we were able to shoot 4 PQTs. Sadly that was not enough to qualify, but I would definitely return for another shoot. I highly recommend this course under this seasoned leadership. You will not be disappointed.
