I just wanted to thank the students, you guys really picked up the classic fundamentals and we were able to move at a much faster rate. We started off concentrating on accuracy which is extremely important and then balanced that accuracy with combat effective hits and intuitive shooting which has a different threshold for every shooter. The class focused on using time wisely meaning speed up in weapon manipulation and it will allow more time behind your sights when sighted fire is required more. Wether you’re fixing a double feed, stove pipe, speed reload or any other problem with your weapon system treating it with efficient and consistent movement will aid a great deal. We pushed time limits on the clock hard with this class and still expected good hits down range.
The night shoot really put even more stress on you guys because fixing a double feed or speed reloading the gun is slightly different with a handheld or weapon mounted light. As you guys saw torching your threat was just one part of shooting at night and if used incorrectly can be detrimental to your life or others by compromising your position.
We spent a good deal working around and utilizing barricades, everyone did really well. I think everyone could see the applications of those positions we spent time conducting and why we stress manipulating our weapon system in a certain manner when I demoed clearing a double feed, speed reloading, and utilizing the urban prone position while working around a vehicle. Practicing shooting from various positions can come in handy in dynamic situations. Thanks again for being opened minded and continually pushing your self to climb that ladder of excellence.
Sincerely,
