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 […]

Scenario: Simulate being awakened in the night. Goal is to improve general handling skills and self discover issues associated with low light levels. It is the act of doing that you discover problems or areas that need more focused practice. Laser snapcaps were used in this training session.

Having plaster walls in my home, I needed to know for myself just how tough my walls are and the penetrating power of my home defense rounds.

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 […]

Another great defensive pistol League scenario. This one is a bump in the night. Think of it like you’re reaching for your nightstand and dealing with one or possibly multiple targets while in an unusual shooting position. If you never do it you never have experience to pull from in the future.

Great stage at the defensive pistol League in Frostproof Florida simulating dragging your buddy backwards while engaging targets. This was 125 lb sled

It’s all about the basics nothing else. Garment clearing, establish grip, draw stroke, sight picture sight alignment, trigger pull and follow through. Rinse and repeat.

This is one of the scenarios run today at the Tiki VPPG Nov. 9, 2013. Imagine being out to eat with family and friends. When a domestic dispute turns deadly right before your eyes. What would you do? Well it’s always hard to tell until you’re there. Scenario based training can provide a simulated experience […]
