Live-Fire Training: Get your heart pumping, then quickly engage threats
NEW SHOOTERS — LIVE-FIRE TRAINING BUILDS YOUR SKILLS QUICKLY
Live-Fire Training: Get your heart pumping, then quickly engage threats
If you are ever in a shooting situation, it is likely you would be under stress with your heart pounding. In this scenario our instructor simulates this by placing the trainees under stress before confronting a threat. The trainees begin by striking against a martial arts paddle. You will see in the video that they are in a rotational sequence. This means each one has been striking for perhaps a couple of minutes before moving downrange to shoot.

When you see a gun always assume it is loaded and will fire if you pull the trigger
WHEN YOU SEE A GUN — ALWAYS ASSUME IT IS LOADED AND WILL FIRE IF YOU PULL THE TRIGGER
—If it has a Safety, assume the Safety is off and in the Firing Position.
—Do not touch the Trigger until you have unloaded the gun.
—For semi-auto pistols, assume there are Rounds in the Magazine.
—Also assume there is one in the Chamber.
—For revolvers, assume there are Rounds in the Cylinder.
Always follow these assumptions, regardless of what anyone else tells you…
Until you have personally unloaded the gun and made it safe to handle.

Shooting plastic plates at a Live-Fire Tactical Event
In this video our trainees run a course of fire that begins with shooting at falling plates. Traditionally this type of setup consists of heavy steel plates mounted on a sturdy steel frame. In this modern version the plates are made of a lightweight plastic that allows the bullets to pass through them and then the holes heal up by themselves. The big benefit is you can haul these around easily as they are relatively small and not too heavy.
