Shootingstar, I doubt anyone here will be argumentative. You guys that shoot IPSC are not training for anyone shooting back at you or trying to stab you.:) I have to agree with the above. I think any kind of shooting is better than none, and much can be learned by shooting in any of the organized &...

It might turn out differently next time, but it is possible (though not advisable) to draw on an already drawn weapon. Apparently, she felt as if the perp. was going to shoot her no matter what she did. I'm not advocating that you "draw when already covered", unless there is no other alter...

Nope, not a sniper, but a small arms instructor/advanced security reaction force member. I'm also on my ship's Force Protection training team, so I get to teach people about ROE and Deadly force. Having this job has opened my eyes and that is why I applied for my CHL and wish to go into LE when I g...

And what position do you shoot from a vehicle ? Moving ? Parked ? Something to think about because it poses another set of problems. It seems like shooting to the rear from the passenger side is the most awkward. The driver's side is much more natural. Agreed, drivers side (for righties) is much ea...

The same thing that maximizes LEO's body armor also maximizes my COM. :ack: . Exactly, and a lot of people have never thought of this. ISO, presents a larger target to your foe than does the bladed stance of Weaver. Conversely, "Weaver" increases the chance that you will be shot "LHL...

. Now I need to practice draw & fire w/ a steering wheel in the way. One more thing I have learned since being here. Thanks Guys. Seated position in a vehicle presents its own set of problems. If you need to shoot from the drivers position at angles ranging from your 10 O'Clock back to your 7 O...

No "All of the above plus option?" ;-) I use whatever stance gets the job done. If strictly target shooting the Isosceles stance is my most common but in an IDPA match - - - whatever it takes to make the shot. In a gunfight I doubt I would be thinking of what stance I was using. No pun in...

Well, I figured this topic would generate some response. :shock: I guess I'll "chip in" too, but not before making the disclaimer that I am by no means an expert on the subject. I will simply share my experiences and observations. Just so we're all on the same page: Weaver = Body "bla...

You left out modified Isosceles. I shoot all of them depending upon the circumstance. Primarily, I shoot some form of "Weaver", because I believe it to be more versatile. I will check back here after work. I suspect this topic will generate much discussion. I will be happy to submit my own...

Flat, I'm going to guess you were tired when you wrote this. I hope this doesn't come across as sounding "harsh", but I can think of a dozen other ways of handling that scenario that would be better. Please do not fire a "warning" shot. There are many reasons why, (some of which ...

Life membership (now) will help to ensure that we (all) can "get a new toy" in the future.

But, its your money.

Thank You for supporting TSRA, either way you go.

Hah! I shouldn't have to remind a preacher man of Genesis 2:25.... :grin: Referring to Adam and Eve: KJV. Gen. 2:25..."And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed". :shock: Of course, this was before the "fall". :twisted: (just kidding). [/b] All Right !...
