The Mad Duo holding the Monderno patch hostage

The Mad Duo over at Breach Bang Clear recently had the good sense to let someone else write for a change (just kidding fellas), and that someone was Ellen Pucciarelli. Ellen reviewed the Costa Ludus Heavy class, a 3 day 7.62 semiautomatic fundamentals course that sounds like all kinds of awesome. 

Ellen writes:

The Costa Ludus 7.62 Heavy Course hosted at Rocky Creek Ranch in Myakka City, Florida was the most fun experience I’ve had at a training course. At the same time it pushed me to the edge of my limits. Most classes either test my limits mentally and/or physically; this was the first class to show me how strong my spirit was; how badly I wanted to finish, do well, stay in the fight and hit the next target when I was too exhausted to move. A testament to my will power, if you will. In the months leading up to this course, I was advised by a few people to “just run your 5.56 AR, you’re a girl, everyone will understand.” Well, I didn’t ‘understand’. Why couldn’t I run a heavy weapon? Moreover, why shouldn’t I?

You can, and should, read the rest here. Ellen, of course you ran a 7.62, and I’m sure you ran it like a boss. Nicely done.

    There is NO REASON a woman can’t or shouldn’t run a “heavy”. It’s just what I’ve tried to teach my Daughter; “There is NOTHING you cannot do, if you just try”. NO ONE has the right to decide what a “female” can or can’t do. We males need to back. The. Fxxk. Off. ,!!
