THE QUEST

Welcome to the Quest! This is going to ROCK YOUR WORLD so hang on! Each year The Complete Combatant and Modern Samurai Project will team up in the month of October to bring you some of the best red dot system/pistol optics training in the country. This will be hosted at our home range in Dahlonega, GA and will be a 3 day event with a celebration of "The Dot" on Saturday night. Brian Hill and Scott (Jedi) Jedlinski will each teach one day at the Quest but the third instructor will be a special guest (TBA once confirmed) that will most likely change each year.

Annual 3 day event with SPONSORS, DOOR PRIZES, MATCH PRIZES, RAFFLE OFF FIREARMS, and MORE!

Each "Quest" will be different so never assume it will be the same sponsors, prizes, coaches, etc. each year. Please click on the YEAR that you will be attending for THAT year's game plan.
YEARLY: Public registration will be open on October 31st at 6am EST, the year BEFORE the event. You will register through The Complete Combatant's Eventbrite.
Please make note that the refund policy is simple. There are no refunds, BUT BUT BUT if there is an emergency and you are unable to attend you CAN transfer your spot to the next person in line on The Quest's official waiting list. YOU handle the $, I help with the transfer. If that offer gets turned down then you CAN offer it to a friend but the people on our waiting list come first. If a person is added, they may not receive all (or any) of the PRE-QUEST gifts. Obviously, this is dependent on the time they join the guest list and I will need to be 100% involved in the transfer.

We will have 36 paid students max. We will run 2 or 3 relays. All coaches will be on the line with you! You will have a lead instructor for the day and the rest of the team will be the AIs. BIG TIME one on one coaching from Jedi, AJ, Brian and our guest instructor throughout the entire 3 days! EPIC!!!
