Why Training At Gun Ranges Doesn't Prepare You For Shooting In Tough Terrain

[@megaFAUCET]

Brandon Herrera said something to the effect of "Alll the gear doesn't mean anything if you can be defeated by a flight of stairs or your own arteries." At bare minimum we need to maintain basic fitness. Even if you can't afford or don't have access to good tactical courses, just having healthy lungs, heart, and muscles will give you a leg up if shit hits the fan

[@oldmanjenkins771]

8 years infantry and time in combat gives me a little insight in this matter their is multiple things that will cause you to not be accurate under fire. Fatigue, terrain, gear you have on, sunlight, fear, hard to locate enemy, trying to keep cover with out getting shot and thats just some of the things that can cause you too not being accurate

[@clutchcargo1239]

My training began in the forests, and deserts... Never used an official gun range until basic training. Never shot at a civilian gun range until I was intomy late 30s... You make an interesting observation that I never gave much thought about, but I suppose you have a point. I don't suppose you've done much hunting, but that's okay. We are all constantly learning something new, at least I hope so.

[@rickb1387]

I have to say sitting in the open is fine when hunting but not when you Are hunting humans. The first two spots you fired from were terrible Spots.

[@bladejames8208]

Never had a training course on shooting outdoors in natural habitat but, fortunate enough to have hunted for 30+ years. Typical hunting grounds were mountains with elevation changes, trails, valleys, creeks, rivets ect.... Definitely a much different perspective than an outdoor range. Have stalked and taken large game at just under 700 yards before. Challenging and exciting.

[@pwd1679]

Was going to say the same thing. Between big game, as well as game birds, climbing up and down hills, narrow trails, if at all, the challenges are more than comparable.

[@bladejames8208]

@pwd1679 same, exactly what I meant. You as a hunter also understand. The greater the challenge, the more enjoyable it seems to be.

[@pwd1679]

@bladejames8208 Ever hunt Chukkar? Enjoyable, the first time, the rest are for revenge! Rough, usually steeper terrain, no trails, fast flyers and they use the ridge lines to perfection! Definitely a challenge, but yeah, it is fun, hard work.

I'd love to see more civilian-focused training programs. So many offerings speak mainly to ex-military and similarly skilled folks over the average person who actually needs training in defensive situations. 🤷‍♀️

[@ballisticsreport]

The courses from Sheepdog Response might be right up your alley. Protector 1 course provides some basic self defense fighting and pistol shooting, took it awhile back and loved it.

Sorry but nope from years of being a hunting guide and guiding people who've never shot out in the wild like this but have a lot of "range time" under their belts, I can tell you without a doubt that all the indoor training and even outdoor square bay type training in the world will be of little to no help in the wild like that in this video.

Some of us arent like you, we don't have thousands upon thousands of dollars and infinite corporate deals that allow you do "train as you fight". Hell, I can barely afford ammo now let alone a spot at the range which isn't saying much. Must be nice man, must be real nice.

[@traeucity6087]

You sound like you're too busy hating and crying to look for solutions. If you live somewhere that has Bureau of Land Management federal lands, you can shoot outdoors for free. You can hunt on public land (wildlife management areas) for a small fee. You can afford ammo if prioritize making regular, small purchases. Over time, you will have a nice little stockpile; but if you don't train, stockpiling ammo is kind of silly. There are numerous videos on KZbin about drills you can perform with just 50 rounds. Where there's a will, there's a way. Being jealous or envious of someone else and making excuses won't help anything.

[@timothyhines7845]

You do know that 99% of the U.S. population isn't independently wealthy, right?? People train where they can afford to train. Fortunately for myself, the range where I live is A. unmanned B. has a relatively low population to support. So I and those others who utilize the above facts can do some shoot n scoot drills. Is it PERFECT no its still a range with only a stop berm at the end and is open along the drive lane from the 300 yard bench to the 100 yard(main) firing line and the 0-50 pistol range. The pistol range HOWEVER with the recent improvements done to the rifle/pistol side separation berm has a 25(ish) yard cubby with a 15ft berm on 2 sides . The third being behind the 0-25 yard targets is about 7ft. Which we abuse badly. When you(your group) have the range to yourself(selves), you're basically free to do whatever so long (obviously) as you're not throwing spam beyond the range fans. I have taught my sons basic movement techniques and we've run some 3 gun avenues solo and in teams. I am lucky for a poor boy. Most are not.

[@fly1327]

Exactly why after upland bird hunting (mostly) for decades, I avoid gun ranges. Trekking thru fields/dry washes/brush/trees, following your prey's patterns, hunting with TRUSTED partners, handling safely and really seeing your shot background is SO much more instructive and real than standing shoulder to shoulder putting little holes in paper. Every once in a while, I get talked into range shooting, afterwards, asking myself why. And if it occurs indoors, I feel dumber for even participating. Maybe just me.

[@FishFind3000]

All depends on what you do at the range. You can always practice a few long shots to make sure your rifle is still zeroed and if you want test different manufactures or hand loads. Otherwise try up close double taps or make a shooting game with a buddy.

[@brandonandreski1709]

I use range time to work on trigger, control manipulation and recoil management. Out in natural cover and terrain, I'm working on posture, natural elements (wind, temp etc). The things I work on the range should be second nature when I'm out in "tough terrain." Good content! Keep it coming.

[@publicdefender77]

[@Jupiterxice]

I always say train as you fight and with terrain and elements. This will give you realistic scenario.

[@ExSoldier762]

Yeah but train as you fight really only applies to the military. I’ve been an instructor for over 35 years. IMHO, the best prep for a situation like what happened in Maine is IDPA. As long as you recognize the obvious limitations. My IDPA membership # is well under 500. So I’ve been using the sport as a training tool since it began. I don’t care about upping my scores to advance my standings. Any of my fellow SO’s would tell you that the first words out of my mouth after finishing any course of fire is always whether or not I had any “procedural” errors. Did I do anything that would get me killed in a real situation?

@@ExSoldier762 I am an Army Vet myself but Train as you fight gives you better buck. However, wargaming every scenario or have a plan B should alway be first. In Maine will every situation is different so Wargaming is must and always be at the ready.

[@cristianespinal9917]

That's why hunting is a great field environment to test your firearms skills. It will teach you how to move through terrain while armed and carrying a pack with your basic daily needs, sometimes in harsh conditions. It was the first time I experienced hiking with a day pack in below freezing conditions then setting up to wait in ambush. I was poorly equipped and miserable the first time. It took a bunch of research and experimenting to figure out what works for me. It shows you how to use concealment and shoot in a field environment. What can you use to support your body or rifle while shooting? What trade-offs do certain terrain features offer between concealment and visibility? How do you move through woods without being heard? Just recently on a spring hunt, I learned how amazing rain is at making your movement through the woods inaudible. Finally, it shows you what kind of terminal ballistics to expect from your preferred ammo. This is the most unique benefit. You don't want to find out that your ammo of choice has awful terminal ballistics when you're calling on it to defend you or your loved-ones' lives. Taking my .300 Blackout (16" bbl launching 110 gr Barnes Tac-Tx or Hornady VMax bullets at 2400 fps) into the deer woods gave me full confidence that those bullets have excellent terminal ballistics driven to that speed at a deer within 100 yards.

[@gerardjohnson2106]

Dumb training for real life scenario. Are you really going to kill a person in that situation at that distance? NO. That is military training. We need close in, down and dirty belly busting training. Have fun but don't imprint it on others that you are training for a real world situation of self defense.

[@aj897]

Exactly, the country/world has fallen apart if I’m having gunfights at 100yds+.

[@Nevets1970]

Shooting on a range at paper targets is NOT the same as shooting in real life. However it’s difficult to train like real life. The closest you’re going to get is using sim rounds against real people that shoot back. I got sim training Twice before deploying. It’s still not enough, but definitely better than shooting at a paper target from prescribed distances. Another realistic part of sim rounds training is the adrenaline rush and panic of being shot back at. A “great shooter” can become useless if they can’t deal with the pressure but I’ve also seen an “average shooter” Use the adrenaline and become a great asset for a team.

[@tiegger9316]

Combat shooting. For exsmple you have to train like the 2em REP with real rounds under fire. In reality you will never be CR if you ve never been trained under heavy fire with real ammo. If not you cannot compansate the acustic stress from the rounds and granades. In reality there is no ear protection. You get an trauma from every fired round etc And by the way the stress will f... you up and so on you suck

Have never trained on a course or a gun range other than to cite a rifle in. I did have to chuckle. I have taken shots in those same conditions in that same type of terrain when that target is the meat that I put on my table. We don’t usually get a second or third shot. It Hass to be that first one. I am by no means a good shot. Hunted with an old Mauser action 3006 that my uncle bought me at Kmart for 150 bucks. I always shot the same 165 gr bullet whether I was hunting antelope deer, or elk. And that old bolt action killed all three. Please keep up getting out the good word on our second amendment. Someday take a hunting trip to Colorado Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Idaho pick one you will love it. You don’t have to eat the meat donated to the local food banks they greatly appreciate it. But just get you old bolt action and go hunting in the west spend the week on the mountain side in the snow with a cold rain. With the right group of guys you’ll never have a better time. When you’re hunting with a group of people it’s just great and the work never starts until the game is on the ground.

When you simulate scenarios that are extremely unlikely to occur in your life in the foreseeable future. For instance, when you live, work, and play in an urban environment 99.9% of the time, and don't hunt. but train outdoors like this for long-range rifle fights, that's getting close to LARPing. It would be far more useful for urban dwellers to practice situational awareness, and train to shoot and fight at close range with a pistol, because they're not going to get into 300 yard rifle fights. They need to learn watch their 6 and worry about robbery in parking lots, taking the trash out at night or getting the mail from the cluster box. Being carjacked at a light. Followed from the bank and robbed.

Fortunately, I live in wild country. I'm grateful for that every day.

If at all possible kiss a hunter's ass and buy him/her a box of expensive ass ammo. Then go hunting with them. If you're richer than most of the rest of us, go get trained by that dude. 😂I don't know if yall noticed he stuttered.... why? He's trying to impart his brain into you. CPO1 used to do that, took me a couple of years to figure out why. How'd I figure out why? 🤷‍♂I started teaching. NO BAD HABITS You hit. Yea, I do stutter at times

I haven't heard you say anything about the Maine shooting since black Men with no father always the one committed crimes 😢

[@dubjubs]

You realize that he was probably in the middle of shooting this video when this happened right? Editing videos takes time plus that still reigns true that it does usually happen with single father kids considering who actually considers most of the crime (which you only care about events in Maine and not where it affects most people) but it doesn't mean you judge them all. Look at you being cynical 😂 Should I bring up that the Rec center and Bar were both places serving alcohol which makes it an automatic "Gun Free Zone" or is that going to going to give you an aneurysm?

[@dashcammer4322]

@@dubjubs It's best to avoid any gun-free zone if you can, though sometimes you can't.

I used to run my gear through shoot, move, communicate drills and transition drills in Arizona.......then I moved to texas..

My "shooting out in nature" has always been hunting seasons. This past season I was hunting antelope in N.Central Nevada was shooting prone withy daypack as a rest. Jut GETTING to the antelope was the hardest part. Some e-mountain bike riding and mostly hiking to 9,000 feet in steep terrain. BUT... competing in Steel Challenge shoots with my RUGER 9 mm PC chassis carbine DOES prepare me much better for real life situations if only because it makes me VERY familiar with my carbine and sight but also it trains me in fast target acquisition and barricade use.

I've been trained by NBPD in Wisconsin. Then, by Colonel Jeff Cooper at Gunsite. When he was alive many years ago. Shot competition for several years at Rio Salado here in Phoenix. Stopped when the young guys moved faster than this old guy. Now, it's just the range. All that to say this was a good informative video.

[@naterblade]

Awesome. us country boys been doing stuff like that since we we're kids. Only we're actually shooting our food. Except I mostly used a bolt action riffle.

[@cmorris10]

Awesome video, but that sexy RAM, though, that's a nice truck

[@emilyurban3454]

Hunting teaches these skills too, but some competitive shooting like 3 gun will often have jungle runs where targets are hidden throughout a trail in the woods. Also many of those same clubs offer night shoots on occasion.
