    I think Insights changed the account under which they were posting them--now they're being posted by gunsandtactics. Will update the first post but here they are:

I have experienced those dynamics in another environment, though one that is prone to the perpetual 'game vs. realistic training' argument - paintball. If a person is like me and has no real expectation of ever seeing the two-way range, paintball is an available venue to explore some of these dynamics. (Yes, lots of unrealistic stuff in paintball too.)
    Kind of an aside, but something I thought was really funny/illuminating Greg Hamilton mentioned in a class was that a great way to vet techniques is go sign up at an airsoft place and fight against untrained kids. He mentioned having a real tough time with that at first since the kids would basically do things that made no tactical sense and no 'trained' person would do. I thought that was pretty interesting.

    Yes. I agree. Paintball will include kids too. Very dangerous, they are unburdened by trappings of technique. They know they want to shoot you, and they set about doing their best to accomplish it right away.

    That's funny. When John H was teaching their Unarmed Self Defense course in TX - someone asked him how to escape from a classic hammer lock. He said that was a stupid hold so it wasn't part of the course. However, it was pointed out that folks not in the know - didn't know it was stupid and tried it. Thus, we all laughed and John gave us the pointers on the stupid hold escape.

    John and the owner of InSights just bought a range facility north of Seattle, and I think we're going to see some really cool things come out of that. That could be some of the reason for the changes.

    As an armed citizen, there are a LOT of question marks once visual contact is lost.

    Press or fall back? There are many variables here, but one especially glaring conundrum: with a known threat out of sight a given direction, it could prove costly to move away from the plane without being prepared to shoot if the threat pursues.

    Given either choice, how able is the problem solver to positively identify the threat after the loss of visual contact? If tunnel vision has kicked in and drawn attention to a weapon, for example, how aware is the defender of such details as the color of the threat's sleeves? How much visual information is necessary to confirm before pulling the trigger?

    I suppose this is just an attempt to apply context, and contemplating how to best approach creation of a strong defensive situation once visual contact is lost. I find myself wondering if the sheer volume of variables might actually make it a better call to get proactive rather than holding tight or continuing to move once contact is broken.

    Videos 1-2-3 show unavailable for me, too. A brief YT search and I was able to find them in a current playlist, as well as 3 additional videos on Stoppages, Shot Placement, and Move and Shoot. For some reason, they're numerically backwards, so number 1 is at the bottom.
