Putting the support hand on his head for safety. Realistically, you would hold onto the target to keep it close for those shots.

@@cuttingedgetacticsandtraining I just pictured the instructor yelling "Add flare! Add flare!" And it's the reason I watched it like 5 times lol

Maybe I'll just make the students yell that as part of the drill next time. You could be on to something...

Yes he does. This was only his fifth time doing this drill though and compared to the first time, it's a lot more smooth and there is way less hesitation. He's a student in the process of learning and doing really well at it.

I have the magnifier there for proper eye relief. The beauty of a red dot/magnifier combos is that you can keep some distance between them so the red dot can be further forward.

The point of these drills is for your reaction time, how quick you can engage the target if your in a situation like this and maybe he was shooting cardboard like a lot of others it’s pretty common, now who shit in your cheerios this morning

If you served you were 100% a pog weren’t you 🤣

no shit commander obviously its called a "drill." also known as the Mozambique drill that was coined by Mike rousseau from actual combat experience in the rhodesian bush war. a war that is alot more applicable to small arms than the GWOT

@@archstanton1863 damn why is everyone so hostile today and I didn’t know that thank you you learn something new everyday, only reason I replied like that is because he was being a dick and seemed to not realize that cardboard targets exist

​@@finng.6297Correct, I was shooting at a cardboard target that is 7 yards away.

Thanks dude!

While I don't disagree with that fully, this video and advice was made with people who are newer to shooting in mind. Doing what you're talking about takes a lot of training and experience.

My big issue with it is, where do you live? I'm not actually asking, it's rhetorical, but I live in Illinois. I've been through a fair amount of firearm training at this point, and have serious concerns if I fire a shot due to the nature of training not to confirm sight picture, while an attacker is already crumpling or has maybe begun indicating a loss of aggression, that I'm going to be prosecuted. I know the prosecutors here aren't everywhere, but many folks really hope to use the minimal force necessary to stop the threat as well. CSAT has a drill that runs 5 alpha hits, 1 head hit in 3 seconds and I run that all the time. It's great for recoil management. But I try to make sure I follow it up with controlled pairs and triples to ensure I'm not just laying down lead out of habit. There's also the issue of multiple attackers and shooting economy. Training to fire only the number of rounds necessary and not one more, as quickly as one can do so, leaves more rounds for any buddies that decide to start poking their heads out. I personally believe shot economy is king, especially when carrying concealed and the time to reload starts to lengthen a bit. Yeah, you can train that in particular to still be fast, but there is no fast enough in my book, and a round in the chamber is worth 5 in an unloaded magazine. Yeah, lots of opinion in there, so if you have a counter point I look forward to reading it. My opinions are always open to change.

Yes. I find that canting the pistol does allow for more control so accuracy and recoil management are easier.

Scan while moving your weapon so that you can flag all of the innocent passes by in the area?

It's a practice of tracking the target to the ground and than scanning your environment. As for not moving the weapon, I keep it pointed in the direction of the last known threat.

Approximately 400 hours of ‘civilian’ tactics training and you are the first ‘goofball talking shit’ I’ve heard make that dumb statement. There is a subtle difference as to technique that could be said but I’m not the ‘goofball talking shit’.

Never heard someone make situational awareness a negative.
