STABLE // MOVEMENT

A small adjustment to the commonly seen backpedaling during defensive shooting drills: widen your steps. Running backwards in a straight line or “train track” carries a high risk of falling if even a small obstacle is encountered. It isn’t quite as fast, but what is the likelihood of being able to successfully sprint backwards without looking in a given environment?

By widening stance and steps, weight is concentrated on the non-shifting leg, allowing for adjustment if steps are interrupted by a body or object. I’ll admit that this is simpler for me, being 6’2. I cover a lot of ground in three steps. But like anything else, this can work for different body types with practice.

If you’re in a [gun] fight, it makes more sense to move like a fighter.

First time switching from dual RDS to LPVO on a short boi. What else to choose but the @primaryarms_optics PLx C 1-8 with ACSS Raptor M8 FFP reticle. The ACSS Raptors are (IMO) the fastest and most effortless reticles to use.

BOX // DRILL

Simple but challenging. Working basic transition speed along with precision and control at 10 meters. Targets 4 yards apart (approx) Target 1: 2 rounds COM A-zone, transition to Target 2: 2 rounds COM A-zone, 1 round head, transition back to Target 1: 1 round head.

Evolution of the Mozambique? For competitive purposes it forces speed with the throttle control to transition to precise (head) shots and for defensive purposes, you’d probably want to give both targets some lead-based attention before deciding that head shots are necessary.

2-Gun with challenging stages with @slampat

Well run match and can’t wait to take another crack at this. Just like a first fight, first match in a new discipline is like drinking from a firehose (aside from taking a hot 5.56 shell to the face 😆) in terms of the value and information gained.

Thanks @marlogamora @ki11akev_ @daryl_luv Team GRMTAC for the support and great input.

Living in a “nice area” is a circumstance not a plan. Walking around with Pollyanna mentality is a quick way to fail the mission to protect yourself and your family. And you might fantasize about deescalating with a criminal, but you can’t negotiate with animals.

Thanks to @regiment_blades for creating such a solid and practical tool.

Do you have a defensive countermeasure and a plan?

Custom training targets drop this Monday at 12pm EST. Featuring reduced feedback black B7 Square, 1” zeroing squares (located 1.9” apart to provide a 50 yard rifle zero reference at 10 yards), center logo to encourage target focus (don’t get lost staring at your red dot), six shot plate rack for custom callouts, and standard USPSA headbox A/C/D zones.

Available in packs of 25 and shipped in cylindrical mailer. That’s right- no more finding rubber bands or having targets shredded en route to the range. You’re welcome.

Had a great meeting today at OA Defense headquarters. I was able to see some of what they have planned for the near future and the needle will definitely be moved.

OA Defense is professional and passionate about what they do and we are here to support them; not only as friends, but as an innovative business offering more and different value to the defense market.

Transition and the “check drill” vs immediate action. Is action to clear a bad round viable? Is it faster and more effective to scrap the primary? What is the frequency of rifle failure that necessitates consistent transition drills?

I didn’t find a significant time difference between any of the remedies. The major difference was that with immediate action, I still had a working primary and secondary firearm available.

GET OUT >>> GET ON TARGET

You never get a second chance at a first impression. Or a first shot. Dry fire: fast draw to target acquisition with proper grip is key.

Live fire: If the draw/grip can support 3 highly accurate shots without adjustment, it’s likely sustainable. Six shots (bill drill) even better.
...

TARGET // FOCUS

Working speed: 7 meter bill drill. First run was fast trash. Accuracy was NOT gained by slowing down on the second run. Simply did a better job of remaining focused on the small spot in the A-zone where rounds should go.

2nd USPSA match in the books. Moderate performance, but this was more a familiarization than anything else. Stage planning doesn’t exist in knockdown steel, so a step outside the comfort zone. It’s important to keep pushing and testing.
