Integrated Street Combatives ( AKA - LMI ) will be holding a one day Fighting Rifle course:
When: Sunday, June 6th (originally June 13) Where: Canton (just south of Akron) This course is limited to 10 students Ammo requirements: At least 400. Bring more, shoot more Cost: $150 ($125 if paid before June 1st) –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– This is not a precision marksmanship course, there are no bull’s-eyes. This is a tactical rifle course where the student will learn to effectively use their rifle in an offensive (combat) type environment. Because the vast majority of shootings are at a distance of 1 to 25 yards, the vast majority of the training will reflect these distances, with an emphasis on Close Quarter Distances of 1-15 feet. Students will also train inside a shoothouse environment where they will be required to assess targets before engaging as not all targets will be threats. There will also be at least one hour of FORCE ON FORCE training as we believe that FORCE ON FORCE is essential when learning to fight. Topics include: ‣ Safety. ‣ Fundamentals of Marksmanship. ‣ Sight in Procedures ‣ Reloading. ‣ Failure to fire. ‣ After action assessments. ‣ Barricades. ‣ Shooting positions (offhand, prone, & kneeling). ‣Multiple threats. ‣ Shooting on the Move. ‣ Basic room clearing techniques. Please contact us with questions or to register. [email protected] |

** This course is geared toward the person who wants to learn to FIGHT with a rifle. The first 10 minutes of the course is where you stand still and shoot. The rest of the course you will be walking and shooting, pivoting and shooting, clearing malfunctions and accessing multiple targets. You will also be fireing at moving targets and will shoot inside a shoothouse type environment. Students will learn basic single man and two man tactics as they enter the shoothouse together. At the end of this course, there will be 1-2 hours of FORCE ON FORCE where students will have to both enter and protect themselfs inside the shoothouse with AIrsoft KWA's and RAP4 Combat Paintball Pistols. This is where students realize that Hollywood is full of BAD TACTICS. For Law Enforcement,,, LMI can also offer this same type of training which stresses 2-6 man tactics, verbal communication, intensive force on force and can tailor to most needs. |

If anyone is wondering if they should take a class from Ron, DO IT!
I took Fighting Rifle last summer and it was excellent. Better than most of the police training I have received. Ron is a great guy who treats you like you're an old friend rather than a customer or client. |
It was a great day for training,,
High winds, some rain,, but as the day went on it got sunny and warm. Some of the guys were afraid to use the Full Auto M4 Airsoft rifles during the Force on Force ( 460 fps ) but everyone understood real quickly that gun fights are not as glamorous as most think they are. Everyone also hated the fact that not every target in the shoot house was a bad guy. Many inocent targets were engaged under pressure but everyone learned as the course went on to assess before engaging. Just like in the real world, you must assess before you engage and destory. Here is a AAR that was emailed to me by one of the students: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– AAR on June 6 Fighting Rifle Course. Good course. The instruction was on par with other big name shooting courses; Farnam, TDI, Suarez, etc. Ron is a 1 man show with minimal overhead so he's able to keep his prices low. Also, like other schools where you would need 1,000 to 2,000 rounds for the day, Ron works with his students and suggests that they load 5-7 rounds per mag (more if you want) for the beginning stages. This way you can keep your ammo expenditure to around 500 rounds for the day. In the room clearing and move and shoot stages you'll want your mags topped off! I also do H2H with Ron and his philosophy with H2H, Knife, Pistol, Rifle is all the same. Training with Ron isn't so much about learning 'his way' but rather a guided tutorial of refining 'a way that works for you'. Much of the training is based on experiential learning of what works and what doesn't. Ron also builds stress inoculation training into his curriculum through a variety of approaches. But he's not all work and no play either, there are several drills that build your confidence. After the course, Ron then pulls out the Airsoft gear for Force on Force training and stays as late as people want to. If your looking for the stage after "OK I know how to shoot, now teach me to fight with the weapon". Then you need to look to Ron's courses. PS... there were a few things I noticed that kind of bothered me though: * All of the other students were set up with either IDPA type magazine set ups or nothing at all. I was the only guy with a chest rig. I got a few strange looks. * Ron teaches to drop magazines. Which is technically realistic if your not set up to retain (drop pouch or an open BDU leg pocket). So there were alot of scattered magazines. * Also, Ron allowed the students to ground their rifles and go back and reload. Which keeps the pace steady for the class. I was the only one who put the barrel safety flag in and carried my rifle with me. It took extra time, but thats the habit we ingrain. Which BTW, there were several rifles always laying around (even when the students went to lunch!). In a pinch it would have been a$$holes and elbows looking for rifles. - Brian V. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Yes, I do allow students to ground their rifles so they all point down range as this help with where muzzles are pointed,, especially when 7-8 guys are sharing two picnic tables. I would rather have the rifles on the ground than swinging around and being handled at the tables.
