Training


One of the most neglected areas of people using firearms is training. Throughout all of history, times always seem uncertain with whatever is going on in the world. The current times aren't any exception. Since it's not possible to predict when something bad may happen, the best next thing we can do is prepare in the case that something bad does happen.

Traditionally, and rightly a more applicable way of training, would be to train for extended periods per training session and do it multiple times a week using a solid and predictable schedule. But at the same time, we have to be practical in the fact that life doesn't always afford most of us the time to do what training would be necessary to prepare under the optimal circumstances. What would be a possible replacement for this type of training you may be asking?

Our teaching method to address this is a common-sense micro-time management approach. To make some sense of and understand that statement, let's use a pistol draw from a holster as an example.

Most main stream training methods a person would go to a range and then execute 20 or more repetitions of drawing their firearm from their holster and aim it at a selected target. Using the micro-time management approach, it's all about selected tiny moments of time that create opportinities. How do you identify opportinities? Example would be, when you put your holster on you could do 5 repetitions, then when you go to the restroom at home again do 5 repetitions, or collecting things out of the refrigerator for dinner do 5 repetitions. Just about to sit down to watch some TV, you could do 5 repetitions. As you can see, the micro-time management approach is about finding small moments of time throughout and within your standard lifes day to do quick training exercises. That is just a simple high level of an overview of ways to do training and help keep your skill in tune. Of course, you'd still need to go to a range and do some full scale traning and life fire exercises. But these techniques will help so that you're not starting from scratch when there are long time periods between range trips.

Other training topics cover things such as cover vs. concealement, slicing the pie, how to use your house to your advantage, different types of carry options, mindset of conceal and carry, various drills, natural point of aim, shooting basics, and other subjects that can be used at a range or using the micro-time managment approach.
