So today we put one of the best pistol competition shooters on the planet in full duty kit and had him run a pretty tough rifle stage. It’s weird, it’s almost like shooting is shooting much like running is running and most of the fake and gay stuff people do on the range is INDEED fake and gay

Ah man. I don’t want to keep doing this because it’s like catching fish at a stocked pond, but man THEY BLOCKED COMMENTS. GBRS saying that cheek weld doesn’t help with recoil management (contrary to ALL current and former rifle champions / basically contrary to everyone who isn’t selling a retarded mount / contrary to anyone who has shot in the prone or for speed past 25 yards) GBRS saying that you will be slower and less accurate if you are moving your head into position when rifle shooting. I wouldn’t really care if there weren’t entire departments being degraded by this HOT GARBAGE.

So what we don’t want to do is throw shade at organizations or particular people. What we must do is talk about the proposal that having to manipulate your safety is conferring a disadvantage. I argue that manipulating a safety is not only a low-skill requirement action but also a necessary task to prevent an accidental or negligent manipulation of that trigger. Manipulating the safety is much easier than most everything else (connection, target focused sight alignment etc) that we are asking an officer or soldier to do pre-engagement. Additionally, manipulating the safety adds a physical and psychological step post threat identification to place your gun onto fire to make an engagement. This provides a gravity to the decision to fire that many see as necessary and preventative of the worst case scenario, friendly fire. Discuss.

Let’s break it down. Depends on what I’m building for. On deployment I ran a 10.3” HK416 D with a Surefire RC3, an Aimpoint T2 with a 3X magnifier (that was typically kept in my back panel) with a Surefire light and an NGAL laser. Although a bit heavy, that became my gold standard for a do all AR / work gun. No that I’m retired I run a SOLGW 11.5” with a HUXWRX can, an EOtech XPS3 low profile with a G45 magnifier on the Wilcox mount. Fantastic gun. Waiting on my new lasers from BP Meyer’s. Why do I like those setups? Hard data and experience. 95% ish of rifle engagements occur at 0-200m. That’s aggregate data from WWII up through the ongoing Operation Inherent Resolve. So we want to run the gun / equipment that best solves that equation. Going deeper, a generic 11b infantryman gets to the flat range maybe 1-2 times a month that’s probably generous. 1-2 times a month of anything develops very little proficiency. On deployment, infantry platoons utilize massing fires and maneuver. Once again, a low gun skill requirement comparatively to say taking shots in a multi breach night time hostage rescue. The point is, round count in training is a decent metric for developing a real opinion of gear and a higher skill level. Infantryman and even most Green Berets don’t really shoot enough. To the surprise of many internet folk, the best shooters in the military hire civilians to come train them to shoot. I say this as a certainty. And if you look at the best competitive rifle shooters in the world they are shooting 250k rounds a year. So it makes sense they would learn a thing or two about shooting development. So, when I was active duty and shooting a few thousand rounds a week and getting to train with multi time world champions who shoot 250k rounds a year they taught me better ways to setup my gun. For example and as previously discussed, I learned that foregrips don’t help with recoil management at all and they greatly impede the use of walls / natural barricades because you can’t lay the length of the rail on the object uniformly. We want form and function in a streamlined / reliable / accurate carbine that can reach out to 500-600m during the day with a magnifier but is compact for CQB / Urban gunfights and maneuver, nice and light for multi hour engagements / movements. Hope that helps. (Rifle training run below, not CQB)

POV: Dying in every room and developing really bad habits that WOULD NEVER translate to using a gun

Thoughts on “real” training: Unfortunately, military, law enforcement, and civilians still find themselves shooting, quite slowly, different sized dots at 5 yards, nearly always while standing in front of the target before going dry and conducting a comedic / exaggerated / inefficient reload and finishing with a good (albeit rehearsed) scan of their local firing range. Or dumping a mag on a VTAC and admiring their group after a 2 yard walk. Shooting while moving must be conducted mostly while doing CQB with slow pies or it doesn’t translate to combat. Don’t forget up drills. Quite tactical. Allegedly. Let’s pause here. Imagine for a second if an NFL wide receiver trained roughly the same but for his requirements. Said receiver only trains receptions by catching balls thrown slowly and directly at him. He scans for defenders post catch, every time or he’ll never see them in a game. Speaking of which, he only practices sprinting is when he is running plays. If he sprints without running a play, it’ll most certainly lead to bad habits. As a matter of fact, it doesn’t really matter how fast he can move or how high he can jump, as long as he knows the playbook he’ll most certainly outwit his opponents. Best to keep skill development slow, smooth, and safe so it doesn’t negatively impact his strategy. Absurd. Pretend now it’s 4th down, 4th quarter. Down by 3, out of field goal range. The quarterback puts the pigskin into the sky in an act of desperation right into a stacked secondary. But this receiver has been training his hard skills. Speed, agility, hand eye coordination with progressive overload and a plan. He is a fast, real fast. 39” vertical, allegedly. No playbook here. Just raw physics and experience. Cut left, jump. Catch. Touchdown. You can’t have a playbook for every contingency. In those situations you have to leverage skills. Indeed, hard skills should represent the majority of all training. For shooting, how fast and accurately can you shoot? Can you do it while moving? How fast can you move? Transition between targets? How automatic can you make it? How quickly can you move your trigger without disturbing your sights? Does the gun return naturally? Ditch the scripted theater; embrace the grind of progressive overload. Figure out how and what to train. Otherwise, you’re not preparing; you’re pretending. Remember, skills then tactics. (“Not real” training footage captured below)
