*Goal was to understand basics of VCQB with OWB holster on Day 1 and then execute with my conceal carry equip on Day 2
Training Days
Day 1
- Intro to video evaluation to draw lessons learned when fighting around a vehicle
- Taught where to fight and not fight on a vehicle
- Ballistics Demo with different caliber, ammunition type, locations of vehicle
- Malfunction drills
- Taught transitioning from standing, squatting, kneeling, roll-over prone with safe muzzle awareness
- Administrative re-load/unload procedures
- Post engage assessment
- Critical thinking pistol drills
Day 2
- More video evaluation(muzzle awareness, environment awareness)
- Execute transitioning from standing, squatting, kneeling, roll-over prone with safe muzzle awareness engaging targets from 5-20 yds
- Lateral transition drill moving vic to vic engaging targets in all positions
- We completed every POI to include two man alphabet drill
- Training Lessons Learned
- Go as fast as speed of control
- Stock pistols might be better than Gucci Glocks. I saw multiple FTF, FTF with heavily modified pistols
- Safe shooters vs safe environment
- Conform to cover appropriately
- Show up to class with a good understanding of temple index
- Ballistics demo
- Using physical Index Points:
- Decking the pistol in vic
- Temple index
- Safely egressing driver/passenger side w/o muzzling yourself and not fighting the seatbelt
This class will challenge your muzzle awareness and properly employing a pistol within very close confines of other people who are also shooting. Your best flat range muzzle awareness will be challenged
- Equipment Lessons Learned
- If you can afford a combat top buy one w/the internal elbow pads
- Wear your gloves/PPE
- Bring as many mags as you can and mark them as everyone has Glock mags
Personal Thoughts
If you spend the majority of your time around a vehicle and want to better understand how to fight around a vehicle if forced then this is the class for you. If you are any form of LEO/Military I can’t recommend this course enough.
