From an instructors point of view it was a great class. A great class to me is a safe class followed by those attending learning something they hadn't seen before.
We stressed threat scan after each shot relay. From a prone position that means three scans, once from the prone, once from kneeling and once from standing. We stressed constant evaluation of the weapon system. Closing the dust cover is the first step, then checking the weapon and looking for strikes.
We induced stoppages using a half inch wood rod with a sponge zip tied to it. When the shooter would raise his weapon to fire the sponge would be placed over the ejection port which cause one of the three types of malfunctions. Doing this the shooter was conditioned to look for problems, not be told they are going to have a malfunction and expect it. Shooters were told to transition when inside of 50 yards and not behind cover. Outside of 50 yards and with cover, your choice as to clear the rife or stay with pistol.
The hide building was used for shooters to shoot from odd positions, stair ways, window frames, ports, pipes to name a few. Shooter soon learned the concept of optical off set.
The most fun was shooting the moving targets exposed from the pits. We shot 12 inch wide movers to 300 yards, both walking and fast walking as well as stop and gas and bobbers. It also gave those who have never been shot at an idea of what a round sounds like passing buy you. We didn't have any volunteers willing to demonstrate the sound of a round hitting tissue but. Just kidding just kidding.....Most shooter used iron sights for their weapon systems, and still made solid hits
