[ARCHIVED THREAD] - bulletcatchR and DRC hosts TRAINING DAY-MARCH 25 or 26 (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 1/22/2006 3:53:09 AM EDT

Driftless Rifle Club and host bulletcatchr are trying it again. Gotta have 7 (8 with myself) to make it a go.

Here is the Course Of Fire we will work off of:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Handgun: 15yds: Draw and fire two rounds with dummies mixed in.
(tap / rack / re-access / bang if necessary) 50 rounds total
1 yds Close Quarter Technique. (2 seconds each command)
Draw and fire 2rds, repeat 3 times.
Draw and fire 3rds, repeat 3 times.
Draw and fire 4rds, repeat 3 times.(27rds)
3yds and 7yds Draw while moving laterally. Engage with 3rds, repeat 3times.
Drug/Body Armor Drill: 2body/1head, and Zipper, repeat 3 times. (36rds)
10yds and 15yds Draw and engage Dominant Hand only 3rds, repeat 3 times.
Draw and engage Non-Dominant Hand only 3rds, repeat 3 times. (18rds)
25yds Barricade. Draw and engage Dominant and Non-Dominant side.
Engage target with 3rds each presentation, repeat 3times. (18rds)
50yds Draw and engage from prone, kneeling Dominant, kneeling Non-Dominant.
Engage target with 5rds from each position. (15rds)
5yds / 10yds / 15yds/ 25yds Draw and engage 9rds at each distance. Engage 25yds/15yds from cover. Engage 5yds/10yds While moving laterally. (36rds)
15yds/use cover and fire 4rds left-right barricade, load/tacload and move to 10yd cover.
15yds/move to cover (left & right)firing on the move 2rds.
15yds/moving toward hostage target 3rds point blank/draw 2rds cqb (5times)
(25rds Handgun)

WORK HEAVILY ON: Tacloads, Jambs type 1 & 2, holster and reholster work, and one handed drawing/shooting/reloads/jambs, and finally some movement shooting very slow and smooth on small targets as accuracy counts and misses should be frowned upon.
**********************************************************************
Handgun & Carbine Accuracy Stress Exercise: (DON"T KILL OR INJURE ANYONE).
*****Stress is done by getting the blood flowing at an elevated heart rate which causes the fine motor skills of the hands to be gone, so one has to rely upon their gross motor skills. Plus the stress portion of this is good for the purpose of teaching people to slow themselves down and take their time to get a proper and accurate hit (as you cannot miss fast enough). The other thing about the stress penalty is that it emphasises that misses are a bad thing and there is a penalty to pay for missing just as in real life.

Exercise: Start at 25yds (a little closer is fine). Have the shooter run back to the 50yd line around a marker such as barrel, and then run back to the 25yd line. Now at the 25yd line they present their weapon (handgun from holster) and shoot one shot at one target (steel target preferred for the instant response). If the shooter misses they then reholster and run again back to the 50yd around the barrel and back to the 25yd line and try the one shot again, and if they miss again they repeat the run until they get the hit. Once they have accomplished it for one hit, try the exercise for two targets with two hits, then three and so forth. If a person cannot run or the range doesn't allow for it you can always do 10 pushups or jumping jacks for the heart rate elevation stress. This exercise is a personal favorite and can be done in two teams as a relay race.

My suggestion for this upcoming alumni training session is to stick to basics, emphasize slow smooth techniques and marksmanship principles. Use smaller targets with pushups as penalties for misses and hits on hostages. Everyone gets tired of pushups and sprints if they keep missing or hitting hostages, so stress might be a good learning lesson. Remember and emphasize that it is about slowing down and getting proper hits, then following through properly with access/scan/tacload. Proper hits and follow up actions are what is going to save someones life someday, not speed that results in misses. Let me know if you have any questions.

CY6,
Sully

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since this is gonna be after a cold weather carbine bring 300 rifle and 300 pistol rounds minimum. We will practice meltown, IA, devil's drill, to start.

Camping on site.

I gotta figure out the add poll feature.
Sound off on this thread`if you are a go but still RSVP thru IM please after you vote if you are a GO.

Holding off on a vote till I'm more sure of things. 90% sure to go at least for one day. Would like to do two days, but not sure yet. We could do either carbine or handgun for one day. Or each for a half day. Or one each day for the two day thing. Choices, choices.

You got to travel for these.

But they are worth the road trip, even not including the shooting they are worth it just to hang out with the crew. The shooting is just a bonus.

Id hit the poll, but right now it looks like I might have the whole weekend off, if thats cool if I can come out and play.

All depends on family crap ( mom has been in and out of the hospital)

Let me know if I can attend this without having taken any of the De classes before.

Batch,

These training shoots are open to everyone. All you need to bring is an open mind. The drills we practice are based on Defensive Edge 'doctrine' , but we have had other input. Harv led some drills he brought back from a Pat Rogers carbine class the last 'no fun' shoot.
The idea is to leave the weekend a better shooter.

I will be here both days, the poll was put up to try and plan but we are very good at 'winging it'.

ETA: been following your mom's progress at the GOTX, my thoughts and prayers are with you and her. If you come out LMK and I'll give the # here so folks can keep contact with you, cell reception is spotty.

BC, just wanted to give you an update. Some stuff came up for me that weekend and I have to be out of town, so I don't think I can make this shoot.

I'll be at the cold weather carbine this weekend though.

Guys, we are working on booking a show at Edge O' The Dells, preceded by charring of fresh steer meat, and followed by much consumption of cold beverages and things. I'm kind of hopin git lands on this weekend....it would be almost TOO much fun for one weekend!!!

I'll post when it is final, maybe we can have a shoot followed by an ARFCOM party? The venue has NO cover, and it's a HOPPIN' place!

Ok, now I might be able to attend.
I won't know for sure yet, but it depends on weather or not a friend needs my help that weekend.
When I find out I'll let you know.
So, I am a maybe at this point.

Guys, we have a show booked that Saturday, so I can't make it. That is a big bummer.

Stan, I may just wind up calling to see if we can shoot during the day when we book that show in the Dells........

I feel like John Kerry flipping back and forth, but I talked to the Boss and decided Saturday is the day since it looks like the majority of ya will be there Saturday. She has to work, but not till like 7PM Saturday night.

Posted: 3/20/2006 4:53:55 AM EDT

[#38]

I'm angling for a way to make it.
Wife is scheduled to work Saturday. We only keep one car and the bike in Milwaukee.
She needs the car and it'll be too cold for me to ride the bike 2.5 hours each way.

Hoping to:
1. Rearange her schedule and both attend.
2. Arrange alternate transportation for her, so I can take the car.
3. Hope that PM, Drawcut, or someone from this area finds a way to make it and can take me as cargo; sharing gas expense.

Pretty much in that order.
What sort of start time were we looking at for Sat?

Dang it! I've completely missed this thread since it was tacked.

Could you fit a couple more abbreviations in that post? I feel like I'm back in the nuke plant.

No hurry on the HT. I'm planning on being at the range clean up 4/1.

Works for me. Give me a push when you're local and through with your work. None's gonna need to hang fire 'til he knows his schedule that day.
