Kyle Lamb, from viking tactics on 1-5 drill

I thought I was going to get to go to the shooting school with my SF buddy a few weeks ago, but he got redeployed last week so It looks like I cant ride his coat tale for a free week in NC. :(

Him and my buddy slung lead on some of the same streets in kandahar.

They met up a few weeks ago at some evaluation stuff, patted each other on the back... Now we have a new shooting buddy.

Gunner that hits the (theoretical) driver of the buick is insane....

Another fav of mine...

I am trying to get Briar rabbit to let me and a couple buddies put on a tactical shooting day at the rifle range, would be a freaking blast.

Might go out and talk to Rainers range if Briar feels it to be to un-safe

Truthfully guys if you own a AR platform. These are awesome and fun drills to sharpen your skills.

Some of the ones not shown in the vids...

Laying in the left recumbant position and firing while laying down is always a eye opener. Like from behind the back tire of a car.

These are all old videos... But highly effective training excerises for anyone. I asked why there was no new videos and he stated the only recent thing that he had accomplished was some handgun transition videos that are not even edited to be posted yet.

Here you go... Taste of what is to come from Viking tactics.

I have done this drill before with my Garand and it's a tough time to hit anything. Your sights are on their side so everything is off, you have to really know your rifles zero to turn elevation into windage. Then you get hot brass coming back down on top of you. Keeping your concentration gets very hard when you are taking burns to your neck. :wtf: One day I am going to have to get an AR again so I can do stuff like this. An 8 shot rifle with high recoil doesn't lend itself well to either high speed or sustained fire.:rolleyes: Best I can do for aimed fire is about 1 round every 2 seconds. Though I do have to say most of my friends where amazed at how fast a Garand can be reloaded. I can usually beat all but the most proficient AR guys when it comes to a reload. (I don't have to take a mag out, just insert more ammo:D )

I didn't get a chance to watch all the videos yet but I wanted to make a quick suggestion as for a fun training drill I had done at a shoot once (hopefully not covered yet:cool:). Each shooter needs to sacrifice an old t-shirt for it but it makes for an interesting stage. Take a standard IDPA head and torso target and dress it in the shirt. Then shoot the stage for score as usual without being able to see your scoring rings (any distance is fine). It adds a level of realism as you need to understand that the proper aiming points on the human body can be distorted by the cloths that are being worn. A proper upper torso shot is actually just below the collar line on a shirt. Almost everybody started shooting very low as normal training with paper or even with silhouette targets teaches you to aim for the center of your target. In a real life situation you need to actually center your shots much higher on the body, centering your shots on the persons shirt will give you lower torso/gut shots that are not as effective.

I did some more research last night... I was unable to get a hold of Shawn at Briar, but fort harmor in marietta seems to be more than happy to want to talk about a class such as this.

We actually did this last year at briar on Holloween. We did a zombie, night shoot. It was a blast. We used full size steel popper targets and cardboard both. It does add a since of realism to things. I had 7 steels in front of me at 20 feet. All but two t-shirts had logo's or printing on them.

I shot all of them in one shot except one. The shirt was slightly turned. I was shooting for the center of the shirt and was missing the popper plate. Put 8 rounds in it before I realized where I was hitting it at. basically put 8 45 rounds into the poppers lung area at 20 feet. then one in the center. Like anyone would live through that.
