    LE Snipers Using Semi-Auto

    Re: LE Snipers Using Semi-Auto Competitions are a great place to test abilities. Most good competitions, even some bad ones, mimic actual incidents or force shooters to use a specific method or tactic that has occurred in actual incidents. One example is weak side shooting. Many people...

    LE Snipers Using Semi-Auto

    Re: LE Snipers Using Semi-Auto "Always" and "Never" are some of the strongest words you will ever use. I have no problem saying that the majority of law enforcement are at best average shooters under any stress. I form this opinion after instructing basic and instructor level courses for...

    LE Snipers Using Semi-Auto

    Re: LE Snipers Using Semi-Auto For the past 7 years I have been the sniper team leader for a county team. We cover a population of 185,000. I have written our agencies qualification standards and instructed for LE snipers at the state level. I would be very hesitant to allow a semi auto to...

    Need advise-daypack for LR rifle course

    Re: Need advise-daypack for LR rifle course I have used a Spec Ops THE Pack for operational use for several years now and really like it. It is bomb proof, simple, modular and for what you get very inexpensive. Though I would not classify it as a lightweight pack. It is very robust with...

    Precision Rifle at TDI in Ohio

    Re: Precision Rifle at TDI in Ohio A few years ago I attended a match at Camp Perry and spoke with a TDI instructor.... He tossed out two things that made me question the validity of their training. One, Spin Drift and Two, Coriolis Effect. I am not saying TDI is to be avoided though I...

    Improvements to my range set up

    Re: Improvements to my range set up I would make the berm twice as high as the biggest target. As far as width I would consider doubling what you have. Introducing any sort of angle, specifically with use of cover limits the actual size of your back stop. Dealing with steel targets you...

    Springfield XD vs S&W M&P series

    Re: Springfield XD vs S&W M&P series Have shot both of them extensively. In the last year I have sold my XDs and stick with the M&P and Glock. The XD is just not ergonomic and it feels foreign. I have been a die hard Glock fan for years but in the past 2 years have been won over by the...

    TAB Gear QA Sling
