How do you train?

[Toxic6]

I practice seeing EVERYTHING, ALWAYS! While looking oblivious!

Hey, we were just checking to see if you were paying attention.

Since it's a rocket (joke), keep your hands free and know what to do with them on all occasions. good luck to us all

BTW...he will travel and do classes at a VERY reasonable price as long as there is 10 or more in the class. He's one of the most down to earth, but bad a** soldiers you'll meet. Former Ranger, former SF 18B, and one hell of a good patriot!

He has a 3 day combat rifle class in our area 1st of November. Has anybody here taken any of his classes? What did you think? I want to know how his rifle class compares to a Suarez or Magpul class.

As Larry Vickers puts it...Speed is fine, but accuracy is final. Shoot as fast you can be accurate, but no faster. Speed will come with time.

Basics and fundamentals win gunfights, and good solid equipment helps too.

There are several drills I use to keep myself sharp, they aren't hard, they are basic, and they do work.

Also train your mind. Go thru possible scenarios, such as the one posted above and go thru what you would do.
Like when the Blue Angels train for a maneuver. They will sit in the training room, close their eyes and visualize what they are doing and how to accomplish it.

A lot of training can be done with a firearm without firing a shot, one just needs to understand that first.

4. Aimed shots to CNS under a timer (No more than 1 second under partner call-out.)
5. Mozambique drill. (no more than 1.5 sec from draw to CNS shot)

4&5 I regularly FAIL at. (too long or missed).

I was failing at the failure drill until I learned a new trick last weekend. Instead of 2 to COM then aim at the head, take three uninterrupted shots up the center line using your muzzle climb.

Smaw, I have not taken John's combat rifle class, but I can almost guarantee you it will be what you will need in combat situation. If you want to know more, email him.

I've heard this called 'zipper technique'. Sensible concept. I haven't practiced it enough to see if it actually improves splits or hit quality.

'zipper technique'

I learned the zipper from instructor Roger Philips. You take his class and you will be doing the zipper on the move by the end of class. Here is a photo sequence of it on his website.

Here is a video of it that shows the zipper.
