UPDATE:

James Yeager filed a complain against my YouTube channel claiming "copyright infringement" for putting up the video in the first post. Hilarious.

Sorry, Jimbo, I know you are trying your best to defend the hide the stoopid that is "Tactical Response"

But it ain't working....put another link up to it.

Own the stoopid, Jim. It's yours. All yours.

I've been down range taking pictures, it was a very controlled situation, not a busy firing line with people drawing from a holster in my direction. I know people will say I shouldn't have done what I did, but this is beyond a bad idea and into suicide territory.
 
Many folks train with live ammo while being filmed from down range, nothing new. Difference here is the ctr man an 2 each way had empty weapons, tells how confident someone is in their training an ability.
 
Ah, ok, then nothing to see here folks. It's a totally cool idea to put a photographer right in front of students training with handguns. Got it.

Stupid is, as stupid does.

At least if anything happens we'll all rest easier knowing the gene pool just improved a little bit.
 
It looks very, um, "Dorf on Guns," doesn't it?
 
DUMBASS doesn't even begin to describe the video... amazing
 
Where's that video of the Chinese spotters standing next to the sniper targets.... at distance?!

Are you saying the center man in the video and two to each side had empty weapons?
 
Um....right.

I've spoken with at least six different people who have trained with Yeager and experienced a photographer like this in front of the firing line. It was all live fire. Nobody was shooting blanks or had empty weapons. When one one them yelled "cease fire" and Yeager asked him what was wrong, he pointed to the guy sitting on the ground next to one of the targets. Yeager's response, "Oh, don't worry, he is a professional, he knows what he's doing."

Bad judgment exercised by a professional is still bad judgment.

I have trained in live fire exercises where teammates were behind me firing live ammunition...But not AT me.

The SAS can do that: They know how. But the local CCW class is another matter entirely.

Who issues the employee practices liability policy for his training classes? Anyone know?

Sorry, I seemed to have missed the couple of round he fired, so yeah, it is a fully live / hot line.
 
OP -

If we are going to train for CCW/CQC/CQW circumstances, ought we not have practice reps with living non-targets downrange, even, eventually, adjacent to our targets? Once we are ready, of course?

My concern is that NEVER practicing draw and aimed fire with people down range would mean that the first time we did it, in real life, would be, well, the first time we ever did it...

Yes, I agree with you, but of course, what is going on in the video has nothing to do with training, or else they would have had a non-live target at each target stand.
 
I guess getting a Chinese guy to hold a target is cheaper than getting a Chinese guy to bury some PVC pipes?

And WTF is the point of taking pictures of people shooting from 1 yard away?

No, put up cardboard cutouts of friendlies so you will know if you threw a round but no one dies while you live out your SAS fantasies.
 
Scans like that should be done from the low/high ready, easier to keep your grip in place and get back on a target if need be, but probably safer in this context to keep muzzles up since the students are so close to each other. That's my opinion on that.

This is old news. Video has been around for years. Not defending what they did but at this point it's just not news.

I guess in the Chinese spotter picture, a fence and some buildings are appropriate backstops.

When a government (Chinese) are actively trying to reduce their population a wood fence between the firing line and pedestrians serves two purposes. It's not like they have a shortage of pedestrians.

OMG I didn't realize the extent of the amsdorf virus. Looks like he's on every gun forum known to man...just posting the same shit over and over again.

Cant believe any range officer would allow that to even hapen. I have seen people placing camcorders on the firing line but never seen anyone placing a photographer on the berm.

Remember the 4 rules of gun safety before doing dumb shit and posting it where all the anti gun crowd can see it.

Better yet just do do dumb shit when it comes to firearms. Just go to an idpa match and see how many times the hostage gets hit by people who are not exactly new to shooting.

Not trying to offend anyone but definitely encouraging common sense.
