From the tactical committee: "The Clinic will
basically entail brief descriptions of tactics utilized in the shooting
of 3 gun matches and an overview of what to expect. As with any firearms
event, safety will be of paramount importance. The main objective
will be to introduce shooters to firearms manipulation on a more "tactical"
application level and make them more comfortable when actually shooting
an event. There will be a good amount of training since many individuals
have not shot this type of event before. We, as the organizers, will
handle this training. After some initial familiarization, we will attempt
some live fire exercises and assist those individuals that may want
some further training. The participants will already have a wealth of
firearms experience, so we feel that it will take very little time to
familiarize the participants.
The courses
involved will include (but may not be limited to):
1) Shooting
through a barrel or similar object.
2) Utilizing
barricades effectively
3) Mandatory
magazine changes while using cover.
4) Malfunction
drills (class 1,2, and 3)
5) Utilizing
various different types of cover
6) Rapidly identifying
"friend and foe" targets and proper engagement techniques
The above constitute
some of the items that will be addressed at the clinic. This list is
by no means all-inclusive as various other aspects of 3 gun competitions
and tactical firearms applications in general will certainly arise.
This summary just seeks to give the Committee an overview of what we
are seeking to accomplish. We feel that the best way to make this event
as fun, and more importantly, as safe as possible is to introduce people
to this type of shooting beforehand by demonstrating these techniques.
If anyone has any questions feel free to contact any one of us on the
tactical committee and we will be happy to answer them. Thank You." |
