As discussed by Robert in his own extensive AAR, he and I recently took the opportunity to travel to Alliance, OH to take Will Petty’s VCQB class. In addition to Petty, we also had Chase Jenkins of Talon Defense on the range teaching, as he has recently joined the cadre of Centrifuge Training instructors. I don’t […]
I first became aware of Will Petty’s Vehicle Close Quarters Battle (VCQB) course back in 2015. Honestly, it was not really on my radar as a potential class to take at that point.
