    New Air Force Training

    Re: New Air Force Training Sim rounds are good but they need to be used for the right reason they dont or shouldn't replace real bullets for accuracy and proper follow through. Boom - I remember the PMI's in boot camp 96 wasnt that long ago. Still they are limited to what is in the FM or...

    New Air Force Training

    Re: New Air Force Training Good point and to do that means rewriting the FM's that show things wrong. Take the MCI Pistol Marksmanship for example some of the info is decent like reloading the pistol and what position the weapon is in but then a few pages later they have a picture of someone...

    New Air Force Training

    Re: New Air Force Training The first time I worked with AF dudes they were PJ's and CCT's. They set the bar high for other Airmen to follow. Then last May I started working with the Security Forces / MP MOS's on a regular bases at Fort Leonard Wood teaching the SRT/ MO courses. I haven't...

    Advanced Marksmanship Wind Reading..Would this work?

    Re: Wind Reading..Would this work? I have always said a wind meter is best used in training to learn what objects do in different wind speeds. Anything you can do to more accurately judge the wind will help you learn what it does to mirage, vegetation or anything else you can see the wind...

    Advanced Marksmanship Practical/Tactical Practice-position shooting

    Re: Practical/Tactical Practice-position shooting It will depend on how tight you can get the position and how flexible you are. I like shooting positions because it is more realistic. Lindy's sizes seem like a decent goal to start for. Don't get wraped around the traditional stances try...
