On Saturday, December 2nd, 2023 at 10am EST, we will open up registration to the public. The ability to register will close when we sell out.

Welcome to the Quest! This is going to ROCK YOUR WORLD so hang on! Each year The Complete Combatant and Modern Samurai Project team up in the month of October to bring you some of the best red dot system training in the country. This will be hosted at our home range in Dahlonega, GA and it will be a 3 day event with a special 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. We are very excited to announce that our 2024 guest instructor is none other than Riley Bowman of Pistol Intelligence.

We will have 36 paid students max. We will run 2 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 Riley, Jedi, AJ, and Brian throughout the entire 3 days! EPIC!!!

  • 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. Contact Shelley immediately. You handle the $, I handle 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.
  • If you (or I) are not able to officially "sell and transfer" by the Friday prior to the event (7 days), I would like the option to donate that spot.  It would be a shame too let that coveted spot go to waist.
  • NO RESELLING tickets WITHOUT my approval. If you see this posted then it is a SCAM! Please let me know so I can report and block. THANK YOU!

TQ24 FEATURED GUEST INSTRUCTOR SUNDAY: FOCUSING ON COMPETITION

?Riley T. Bowman is a life-long student of the pistol. Having a desire to carry a pistol for defense since an early age, he went right out and bought his first handgun when he was 21-years-old and got a CCW permit to carry it. Riley soon learned there was a lot more to it than just strapping on a gun.
Riley was inspired to seek out greater knowledge and training when he was given the opportunity to become an instructor for the law enforcement agency he spent 8 years with. Riley discovered his passion for teaching others how to excel at shooting and developing skills that can be the difference in saving lives.

In 2016, Riley finally made the plunge into competitive shooting when he signed up for The American Marksman, a national competition designed to discover top talent amongst amateur shooters. Riley surprised himself when he won the Rocky Mountain Regional Championship that sent him to the National Finals where he finished in 10th. He started shooting 3-gun and has numerous top-10 finishes and a 4th place finish at major matches.
He has since turned his focus to mastering the handgun and competing primarily in USPSA, currently a Master Class Carry Optics shooter with the goal of making Grand Master classification in the near future. Recent accomplishments include being the 2022 Carry Optics Division Colorado State Champion, finishing 3rd Master at the 2022 USPSA Carry Optics National Championship, and nearly breaking into the top-16 but ultimately finishing 18th overall at the 2022

 

FRIDAY: FOCUSING ON PERFORMANCE
