Cruel Hand Luke

One week to go on this one!

Well that sucks. I'm guessing you've already contacted your card company and disputed the charges?

Just a quick reminder that this one is coming up the first weekend in June!

Just a few weeks out on this one. CRG is the class that put SI on the map and the class that covers the most likely encounters where people use pistols to defend themselves. There is a reason we call it our "flagship" course. Hope to see you there!

Working on a date now......will post it up as soon as it is finalized.

For those coming , in case you have trouble finding the location my # is 423 827 9133

And a quick reminder....the range is right where the time zones go from Eastern to Central. The range is on CENTRAL TIME....so if you get there expecting class to start at 10 eastern you will be an hour early.....

Coming up TOMORROW!!!

The next meeting of the TN GA AL Regional Training group will be held on Sunday April 9. It will be a RIFLE DAY ! So grab your rifle and your gear and come on out! Date: Sunday April 9 Time: 10AM to 3PM CENTRAL TIME. Price : $60 pay at class cash or check.Subject: Real World Rifle Skills (a study in robust manipulations and scoring fight stopping hits under stress) Equipment needed:A rifle. Any rifle is fine, but you'll be better off with a magazine fed semi auto with a couple of spare mags. But if you want to roll "Old School" with a lever gun or bolt gun you are more than welcome to join us. We'll be focusing on the zero to 75 yard distance and using steel targets for some drills so no green tip or AP ammo please. A pistol. Whatever you REALLY carry....preferably the way you really carry it. Ammo needed: 200 rds rifle (NO Green Tip or Armor Piercing ) 50 rds pistolLocation: The usual place .....763 CR 332 Pisgah AL 35765

Glad you finally got this project worked out. Any chance you'll be bringing it to the training day this Sunday?

And that was pretty well determined at bayonet point in 1865......

This one is coming up at the end of this month!

One week to go!

Just a couple of weeks to go!

ONE WEEK TO GO!!!!!

COMING UP THIS SUNDAY!!!!!

Quick reminder that this one is coming up in about 3 weeks!

There's really 2 different questions here. "What accuracy standards are we training to be able to achieve?"... and ..."what accuracy standard do we train with to achieve that?". For me personally (and professionally) we try to direct everything into the diaphragm to neck area (nipple to neck triangle) and/or the face (eyebrow to nose triangle) and that runs the complete circumference of the target ....front, back, sides. Those are vital zones and areas most likely to MAKE people stop what they are doing....not just hurt them and leave the decision to stop up to them. I'm not at all saying other areas don't hurt...I'm saying all we know about anatomy and biology leads us to those two areas being the most likely to stop people. As to standards to practice? I like smaller targets. The 3" shoot n see" targets are what I normally use in class as the "optimum" with an 8.5x11" sheet of paper behind it as "still acceptable". By using that we focus on a smaller area and are then most likely to keep even our "misses" in the vital zone area or at a minimum in the torso / minus 1 zone on an IDPA target or C zone of an IPSC target. In my own practice I personally use the pasters from the "shoot n see" targets as my target to aim for and anything within a hand span of that is acceptable which gives about a 3/4" target and a 6" Acceptable Zone. For distance (15yds to 50yds or farther?) I use a 45% IPSC steel target which pretty much covers diaphragm to neck or chin and inside the nipples on most people. By shooting smaller targets you get a better grasp of sight alignment and trigger control and can apply the same skills to hit at much farther distances. After a day of shooting at 3" targets at 5 yards a torso sized target at 25 is easy.

THIS ONE IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER! Many of us spend a good deal of time in our vehicle sitting in line for the ATM or at stop lights or in parking lots. So it makes sense to be not only prepared to deal with carjacking but to also train for it. This class fills in some of those gaps in training and gives you the opportunity to shoot from your own vehicle so that if you ever do have to do it for real you will not be having to figure it out on the fly. Hope to see you there!
