The Jacobe Group LLC Reloading Clinic is now officially open for business. We offer a wide range of reloading equipment, which may be rented by the hour at $10 per hour. We also offer certified instruction by NRA certified instructor. One of the main benefits of renting time on these machines is that $10 per hour is very reasonable to try out reloading then to purchase a complete setup for lots of dollars and then realize you should have gone a different route or not gotten into reloading at all.
The reloading room sports the following, Dillon RL 550B (four available), the Dillon XL 650 (four available), the Hollywood Turret (three available), the Hollywood single stage (two available), the RCBS rock chucker. We also have an RDP setup in 45acp. We have dies for most of the popular calibers, call ahead to make sure we have what you need or if you like bring your own dies.
As this equipment is fairly expensive I will walk you through each reloading step to ensure there will be no damage to you or the machine. We want you to have an enjoyable and educational experience.
Please note that you will need to supply your own primers, bullets, powder and clean brass. We only allow clean brass in out machines. If your brass is not clean, we have 7 tumblers for cleaning brass, allow 2+ hours of tumbling time.
Hours are 9 AM to 9 PM any day there are not classes scheduled. To check for classes check the calendar page or call Jim at 503 362-0584, We are located at 1165 Cordon Rd NE 97317, in Salem. Please call if you have any questions or would like to schedule some rental time. We look forward to seeing you!

If you were the only thing standing between several brutal criminals and your family, would you trust your current skills to protect them? Having a concealed handgun license does not guarantee you will survive a violent encounter. It is not enough to train just with your self-defense firearm when confronted with harden criminals. You must have some form of hand-to-hand close quarter tactics to defend against your attacker who has closed the distance to less than arms reach literally arresting your options to draw your concealed firearm since they need to be this close to assault/rob/abduct/rape/etc.
Instructor Kevin Gallagher style will teach you tactics with or without a weapon along with the how and why of the principles and the conceptual motion to defend yourself. All curriculums emphasize the concepts of awareness, avoidance, and de-escalation.
This work shop begins by reviewing some essential precepts which reinforces basic self defense principles. Very quickly we work into areas such as use of empty hands against knife, empty hand to gun transition.

Prerequisites, CQB1 and PS2 or instructor approval
Based on a non-lethal tool called the Gunting. The Gunting as a system tries to take advantage of the bodies' basic instinctive - gross motor skill response to stimuli. By using instinctive-gross motor skill or a survival reflex, an individual under stress or duress does not have to think of the proper-correct response, the reaction is built in. These responses are called bio-mechanical because the body will perform the actions without thought, without extra training for they fit within the parameters of what the human body was designed to do naturally. This is the same system currently being taught to several Law Enforcement and Military groups in the U.S. and abroad. The program is designed to meet the needs of today's armed professional and concerned citizen.
Instructor Kevin Gallagher

Do you know what to do if some street thug sticks a gun in your face during a robbery, or rape or abduction attempt and threatens to blow your head off if you don’t comply?
You will know exactly what to do after you have completed this class. One of the prevailing arguments against civilian-armed defense is the claim that "you will just have the gun taken away from you and used on you," especially regarding women and firearms.
This 8 hour class, taught by instructor Jim Jacobe, who is a certified Instructor by, The National Law Enforcement Training Center and Lethal Force Institute, and has taught these same techniques to law enforcement personal throughout the nation.
These techniques will allow you to control your weapon, even in a struggle with an adversary who is much bigger and stronger than you. These techniques work even for very small people against large attackers, by using leverage instead of strength to retain your handgun or disarm your attacker.

You don't need a multi-thousand dollar "tactical" rifle to protect your home, farm or ranch - that lever action in your closet can make a top-notch defensive weapon, and this class will introduce you to using it properly.
You'll learn about the hidden advantages of the lever action rifle, and how to make use of them. You'll get hands-on experience with topics such as:
- ammunition choices for protection
- sighting-in your rifle for defensive purposes
- proper sight picture for close encounters
- handling in confined spaces
- trigger control
- reloading during an encounter
- and more
Any centerfire lever-action rifle is suited to this class, as long as it's in good operating condition. Whether you have a Marlin, Winchester or Savage, this class will teach you how effective that "old fashioned rifle" can be in an armed encounter.
