Centrifuge Training | Chase Jenkins VCQB AAR

• Pre-Class Spin Up 

I trained to these activities to help prepare for the course

• Practice shooting out to 25 yds
• Pistol targets/drills from TREX ARMS/Sentinel Concepts
• Shooting from behind barriers
• High Intensity Interval Training/Steady State cardio

• Equipment
  • Glock 19 Gen 4 
  • Ameriglo sights
  • Stock trigger
  • Bravo Concealment OWB Holster on day 1
  • Tier 1 Concealment AIWB holster on day 2
  • Arcteryx knee pads
  • Magpul Glock Mags
  • Kydex double mag carrier
  • Notepad
  • Crye Precision G3 Combat top
  • Crye elbow pad inserts
  • Peltor electronic ear pro

*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.
