Barry is a former SEAL and one of the people I strive to surpass. There are also others on Saturday, who I shoot with, who are better than I am, and they motivate me to do better, but Barry and I like the Marine/Navy competition, and jab each other at every given opportunity. I use a Glock .40, he uses a .45.
I will be taking a new shooter to the range this weekend. New shooter as in he has not been to my club, but he has been shooting longer than I've been walking.
He is a former Marine who was in and out of the Corp before I was born. We struck up a conversation at the hardware store and discovered that we both like and practice IDPA style shooting. The best part is he is a 1911 aficionado.
I run the ConTact shooting matches at our club, which is similar to IDPA. The difference is that we allow the use of anything that you would legally carry in CT......as long as it is concealed and you would feel comfortable/be legal carrying it into a 7-11 you can practice with it.
So I am looking for what I would consider a good cold/surprising/realistic scenario to initiate him.
My example would be this stage. Out in the open, no cover, and two targets. No round count, work both to slide lock.....center mass, head shots whatever.......go to slide lock and then move to the side and reload/cover.
Thoughts?
