Just ran the tactical carbine class with 4 serious dudes at one chance tactical solutions.
We all had kit, either chest rigs or plates, and pushed through the heat.
Drills:
Up drills-paper
Target Transitions-paper
Height over bore- paper
Shooting on the move-steel
Stand-kneel-prone at 25-50-100 -steel
Barricade work+ movement and support side all on steel.
Reloads and transitions to pistol-paper
Tac reloads and emergency reloads-steel
Overall Tom lets people dictate the pace of the class, and we all were eager to run extra reps and compete, so I burned through 700 rds.
Lessons learned:
Tac reloads -my skills here were 0, I learned a lot of theory but need to apply via dry fire training.
Emergency reloads- skills here I Thought I had, and had actually practiced, but they fell apart under stress and exhaustion. Tom gave me solid instruction here to tuck the stock into my armpit. I will have to reprogram on my own via practice.
Slings! I got tangled up in my sling twice. Going to run it shorter and swim out to transition to support side, or run a Dring on my right shoulder to keep it up.
Shooting on the move- again, I thought I knew theory here, but had to learn it "for real" and it started to come together towards the end for me.
Shooting Both eyes open- just like the pistol class, I was too lazy to learn this beforehand, but trial by fire I had to figure out for the class, and made a lot of progress.
Just like the pistol class, I felt like I cut away a lot of lazy bullbubblegum, tore down some of my bad habits, and will rebuild myself with practice into a 10x better shooter using the theory and skills learned.
