Dave Spaulding's Check 360 - Scan / Assess

[rob_s]

IIRC, in Pat Mac's class, his take on the scan was more in line with the idea that the more of the shooting tasks you train into subconscious competence, the more space your brain has to think about things like scanning, watching out for additional threats, checking your 6/360/whatever, checking on your buddies, etc. made sense to me.

QFT - another nugget. I always HATE going to a qual run by other FIs who literally read the script off the call card for every engagement. "Shooters, on the next engagement, take one step off-line to your right while drawing, and..." Drives me crazy, and generates all kinds of training scars. Our old qual had SIX one shot engagements, in a row, at the 7 yard line. By the time the qual was over, everyone was moving like they were going to reholster between each shot. Drills were a nightmare, and a lot of shooters acted like they'd get extra credit for being the first one back in the holster - with a lot of P228s holstered WITHOUT being decocked first...

If you don't decock you are automatically DQ'd...

I think I've Hearne that somewhere before.

If only. I won't get into the horror shows I've seen, and refused to give a qualifying score. Then, miraculously, they shoot again the next week with a different instructor and get a 290/300. Not my name on the qual - that's the best I can do nowadays.

Not from my PD but when I went through a certain CQB course a few guys were running their issued p226's and they were yelled repeatedly for not decocking.
