The Ben Avery facility looks like it might be going through some changes.

It would really be something if a well trained instructor took it over.

It only works well if you are already behind cover to start with.....

In addition, look around your house/office. How much of the stuff that's in there is cover? Concealment yes, but not a lot of cover. And if you think that sheetrock is going to do you any good....

I have taken the first step in my "formal" weapons instruction.

I have signed up for a 3 day Pistol class taught by Louis Awerbuck.

The class:

Tactical Handgun - Stage I – August 18-20, 2006 Boone County Indiana

Designed to create reflexive gunhandling, good marksmanship and tactical thinking, this course encompasses shooting from a ready position, the drawstroke and shooting from the holster, shooting from various tactical body positions, loading, unloading and reloading, malfunction clearances, shooting on the move, moving targets, dim light and flashlight shooting and weapon retention.

Ammunition requirement is 500 rounds.

SHD Consulting

I took a Close Quarters Battle Course with SHD COnsulting last year (http://www.shdconsulting.net/shdhome.html) . They did not appear to have a huge issue with the ROE problem. Part of that may have to do with the staff which were comprised of 2 5th Group QPs and SWAT Officer, and part with the students they had in the class. Most in the class were preparing for deployment overseas and had Ranger tabs, some were also Police Officers as well as Soldiers. I was the only one with no prior military experience. They broke it down into how each would do it and have us execute according to our ROE. As pointed out before they focused on the fundamentals and prior to entering the shoot house we all had to meet very specific/ stringent target groups. Wondering if anyone else had taken a course with SHD and what the QP's thoughts were on the mix SHD incorporates.

Thanks for the time
