Event Review: TN/GA/AL Training Group – “How Qualified Are You?”

[A.J. Holst]

From the assistant / valet perspective, I was very pleased with student performance and flow of the class.

The newly developed training area and use of equipment at Windrock is outstanding. 

Shout out to Brother Al for his RSO and range valet assistance, thank you for keeping us on track on moving forward.

We had 9 attendees, all of whom were interested in discovering their baseline skill level.

Randy provided some back to basics dry fire exercises to compliment the upcoming live fire drill.

Based on overall accuracy and speed results, I'd say it made it a difference.

The drills, 9 shooters, 1p - 430p, 

Rastoff's Challenge, FBI Qualification, Bakersfield PD Qualification and the original Federal Air Marshal Qualification.

Congratulations to the entire class, everyone shot high 80s to high 90s on the FBI Qualification.

@John Hearne mentioned in class,"if are routinely better than 80% on the drills you are shooting, you probably need to add different/ more difficult drills to your training."

My only complaint: while temps were the mid 80s, the humidity was miserable.

If your sweat isn't evaporating, how do you stay cool? For you girls and guys who work without air conditioning, you have my utmost respect.

This is not to discourage anyone from attending summer sessions, simply awareness for proper hydration, Sun protection and staying cool.

Having thermo regulation issues, I am extremely cautious from late May to early September.

If northern Alabama is convenient, Randy is offering this same event next weekend.

Our next planned class at Windrock is Sunday, October 2.

Please consider joining us for our fundamentals of fighting in and around your vehicle. Watching the news, it may be a skill set worth adding to your training journey.
