My first attempt at a drill.

[Jack]

So my roomate and I went shooting this weekend.

We went shooting this weekend and he accidently made a video instead of pictures, it turned out to be decent quality so I thought id post it.

They way it was planned was there are 5 plates 3 outside the vehicle 2 inside the vehicle. I was unaware of the location until I turned around. First three had to be engaged with my primary(Romainian ak-47) the remainding two inside must be engaged with secondary(9x18 Russian Makarov) .The rifle was loaded with four rounds allowing for 2 misses before forcing a reload(extra mag was located in the built in mag pouch on my pants) Makarov was loaded with 5 rounds also allowing for 1 miss before forcing a reload, fobus single stack paddle style kydex mag holder.

Its not great but it was our first time doing it. Critiques are welcome!

I have a much higher quality video but dont know how to post it. If anyone could help with that the video is much nicer to watch as you can see the bullit holes.

I didn't hear anybody yell....CONTACT!

How about a few more rolls and flips next time?

[Guest SUNTZU]

Where are you shooting? If you have your own place to do this, that is awesome. At least you can practice, its better than putting holes in paper.

[TN9mm]

NICE...yes but a few tacticool rolls are in order for sure.

[Guest SUNTZU]

I like your other video, as well.

[Guest tlondon]

thats pretty cool. nice job. (Chuck Norris would be proud:p)

Please tell me that's real body armor and not some sort of weird Airsoft faux-armor.

HAHA it 4 panels of kevlar in the front and four panels of kevlar in the back. Not sure it would stop an ak round, BUT its helped keep the sling from rubbing on my nasty red sunburn.

That location was in Ashland City Down in a valley it was quite a nice place to shoot.

Ill try to add more rolls,flips,and dives next time, Ill even up the ante ill add a woman in distress on my back.

Ok, cool. I'd run with some trauma plates front and back if you're even hoping to stop an AK round but otherwise it will protect you somewhat from indirect "strays" like splash back.

Keep in mind the offset between your bore and sight on the AK also when you're shooting around barricades like that. You don't want to put a round straight into a piece of steel a few feet from you just because your sights were clear of the obstacle.

Im not even sure it would help that.Im sure it would stop some 9mm ball ammo or the most common pistol rounds,but im not going to try it:). Its just a tankers flack vest with extra kevlar panels. But im sure its no secret here that I do play airsoft(GASP!) and that vest was used to complete an impression. Although i would have looked way more baddass if i was wearing my ATS 7.62 rig.

Im waiting for a place where i can actually worry about that, Thats not my land so i cant just set up obsticals where ever id like with out permission from the owner.(whos not really a gun person, i was just thankful for what i got).

Are there any places in Middle Tennessee that does have somthing along those lines? Ive read about some of the courses offered by the vendors here but im lucky if i can scrape extra cash to buy ammo to shoot.

we'll their is always "Those We Don't Speak Of" in camden..... I would suggest going to CIS though.

[TGO David]

CIS recommends the training at Tactical Response and both principals in CIS have taken classes out there.

I think the key is going with an open mind but also being able to filter out some of the chest beating from some parties involved. This based purely on what I've been told and not my own experience. For that matter, this is probably key when taking training at a lot of places.

CIS is definitely where I'd start.

[Guest Todd@CIS]

Thanks guys!

Jack, when you're ready, call with any questions you may have.

[dunndw]

Nice work. I'd have to agree with everyone else, CIS defensive carbine would be a good place to start.

Hopefully me and my roomate can get up there before he leaves for basic.

[BimmerFreak]

Looks fun.

Did you transition because the the AK was black on ammo?

I rarely take the time to critique "tactics" on the internet, but you may want to reconsider the full exposure when clearing/engaging the round plated bad guys in the doorway...

Remember, train as you fight.
