Running a rather old, stock Sig P-226, converted to double action only. Decided, rather spontaneously to head down to Universal Shooting Academy and do the steel challenge. This includes all 5 runs of this stage, including my misses. Still working on my speed vs. accuracy.
This is for when they’re right on top of you. This is your first close quarters firing position referred to as the high 2 position. Notice the location of the other hand against the body
Here is a shooting drill I came up with that we worked on this morning. It involved a close target to the rear, move to cover, and then engage four targets with head shot. With the mentality that you either succeed or fail the drill. If you miss that head shot, you failed. The timer […]
Working on firing from what’s called the high 2 position for close targets and then engaging moving targets while closing the distance. Overall it was a good day. Stayed on target, for the most part and speed wasn’t too bad.
This was one of the stages at Universal Shooting Academy’s Defensive Pistol League, Sat 8-27-16. They are always creating stages that challenge the concealed carrier and helps them identify weak areas.
Another stage at Universal Shooting Academy’s Defensive Pistol League. These swingers kill me, even though this was the first time I did not get a penalty shooting them.
One of the stages at Universal Shooting Academy’s Defensive Pistol League. 7-23-16. The stage made you shoot rather quickly. Don’t shoot the good guy in white.

Little drill I use to work on getting off line while drawing from concealed and engaging target along with a tactical mag change and another target and a final administrative mag change. Putting one round on each target is so I conserve ammo. I use a paper plate with a postit in the center as […]
Somebody during the push up challenge, challenged me to do push ups and shoot. So here is my first attempt at it. Physical stress with firearm training can really help you and in a number of areas. Strength, speed, trigger control, sight alignment, breathing control and some I’m sure that I’m missing. On this day […]
Working on from draw, fire from the high 2 position, the 3 or compressed ready and full extension. I should have been doing this on the DPL’s, guess I slipped into the game mode a little and extended everything. Video don’t lie and its a great way to self evaluate. Looking at this training session […]
A rather interesting malfunction occurred at the range today, that I had never experienced before. It was a case head failure or case head malfunction, where the cartridge actually separates at the rim of the cartridge during discharge. I felt the powder hit my face when I fired and smoke started pouring out of every […]
