Ammo Crunch!

0
0

Ammo crunch is rough.  So don't let it stop you!  In fact use every live fire round with maximum returns.

 

Objectives:

  1. get quality reps with integrating skills (e.g. forward deceleration, reloads on move, lateral deceration)
  2. train with partner down range (SIRTs only) to get used to moving no shoots down range.

 

Methodology:

Set a drill with natural apparatuses.  Use a SIRT and hit the drill with a partner if you have one.  Work on getting into position low and aggressive.  After five sets or so, hit the drill live fire to validate that your grip and stance (shooting platform) are keeping that sight coming down in a consistant manner (on follow up shots).

Analysis:

You can hit drills like this off the range of course too.  But even on the range try some dynamic drills with your fellow shooters.  Be sure everyone only has SIRTs when going down range from one another.  Dilligently safety check everyone on range.  Do not point the SIRTs at one onother (don't "muzzle" or "flag" your buddys) and get the finger off the trigger when not engaging targets.  As you can see in this drill we hit the run dry 5x, then once live.  Thereafter, we did this cycle 5 times.  We generally engage more targets on the dry sets and conserve ammo on live sets.  So 5 sets of four live fire rounds per set is only 20 rounds total (~$.20/round = $4.00 for drill).  Now with the SIRT repitions at 25 sets at about 12 trigger pulls per set we have 300 trigger pulls.  

Beyond the cost savings of ammo, when you train with the SIRT you are giving yourself "permision to fail".  Permission to push youself and break shots aggressivly.  Push you self till you miss and you learn that you need to make a correction to align the muzzle (not slow down, but make a correction).
