training

I was at a virtual training session the other day. We did a shoot/don't shoot/shoot training session with the idea bng do you see the threat, what can you do and is it safe to shoot or not shoot. It was a good training scenario. Then we did some non lethal training with a tazer, a device I have...

All insight is welcome, especially from those who have actually taught children how to shoot. The question: assuming that a child demonstrates a reliably consistent ability to follow directions, (a) what is a good age to expose them to shooting and (b) what do you start them on? Background: My...

This may have been posted before, but I think it is interesting evidence for how much cover a normative commuter car may provide in the face of gunfire. Even non-gun owners may find this interesting. I know most on here already know these facts, especially military or police. But I think a lot...

We just released an update to our Laser Academy Training app for iOS and Android. It includes our brand new "Pistol Marksmanship" course, and a new "Pistol Marksmanship Test" evaluation drill set! Two new Tutorial drills to familiarize new users with how Laser Academy works and much more. Let...

There was just an app update that opens up our "Advanced Combat course" for pistol shooters (earned patch at the end). The release also adds Drills for RIFLE training: Compressed Surprise Break and Reload drills!!! More to come!

Kinda impulse buy, but few weeks ago i bought oculus quest 2 and it was quite a supprise - didnt expect that this technology will be in this price range so advance in sence of comfort and even technology. Naturally FPS shooters was my first interest and with first games came another supprise -...

Just going to start this by simply asking 3 questions, [Edited by Moderator] & what training have you had in regards to any and all weapons you've come into contact with?

And by that I mean how many weapons are you well versed in and how would you recommend others to pursue or handle their own training? Using myself as an example I'm trained in the use of several different swords based martial arts and can legally carry a sword here in AZ and do so, but I also...

Does anyone have experience with the training DVDs from "Concealed Carry University" by Patrick Kilchermann? A set of DVDs supposedly to educate the viewer (from novice to accomplished) in the why and wherefors of concealed carry, preparation, mindset, equipment choice, conduct before, during...

Many of us have had experiences in tactical operations either while in military combat operations or while working as police officers. Some of us have had experiences in both fields. This thread is for those of us who have "seen the elephant" to express things that might help newer, younger less...

Hey all, Going to be taking my state required carry permit renewal class tomorrow morning. It consists of a 3-4 hour safety lecture and a 30 round qualification. I understand the need to be updated on legal changes and the need to renew to confirm eligability. My question is what other states...

There has been a lot of discussion of training. I would hope to see this thread become a review of the training that members have attended. Just training that members have used and a bit about what they liked. No going negative, if you went to a dud, just don't mention it. If a facilities...

I'm having a lot of fun using the Mantis X Training System. Anyone else here using one? I need some reasonable options to install on my 1911 that doesn't have a rail. Any ideas?

Gadgets for evaluating my reloads has increased. Granted, I am a gadget junkie. Yes, I have a chronograph that takes an amazing amount of data on each round and it has helped considerably in my load development. Sometimes I wonder if I shoot just so I can reload. I really like doing both. Am I...

Hello, I am thinking my next firearms related purchase would be money better spent on training rather than another pew pew (crazy, I know). I am getting reacquainted to competitive handgun shooting after a year long military deployment and also a CCW practitioner, so I am just looking for...

Hey all, Brian Zins here, 12 Time NRA National Pistol Champion and Top Shot All Star guy, I've taken over as Director of Training at Point Blank Range in Matthews, NC, that's just south of Charlotte. I know most all of you had read his stuff, maybe met him or have taken some of his classes...

Hello all, My name is Todd and I have been on the lookout for some new training drills and scenarios to perfect my home defense and concealed carry. So far I have found a number of good drills and tutorials from Action Target, and Springfield Armory with "worlds collide". These Rob Pincus...
