There have been a few moments along my firearm and self defense skill building journey that I would call monumental. Attending my first force on force course is one of those and here is the after action report on it.
There is a lot more to self defense than developing highly proficient shooting skills. KR Training’s Personal Tactics Skills course provides a solid introductory foundation on which to build on and become a better well rounded self defender.
It’s always good to get back to the basics and that’s exactly what I did by attending the Defensive Pistol Skills 1 course at KR Training. Here is the after action report.
Picking a good instructor is critical to developing defensive skills quickly. This post explores how I go about finding and selecting a highly skilled instructor.
Gathered my thoughts and put together some pointed actionable suggestions for folks who are getting started with armed self defense. I cover guns, ammo, gear, and how to go about getting and staying good.
Here is my brief after action report on the Stop the Bleed course I recently attended. I urge everyone to look for and attend a course like this to start developing some basic, but critically important, first aid skills.
A not so brief after action report of Gabe White’s Pistol Shooting Solutions course – a high intensity advanced pistol handling course that I highly recommend.
Shooting quickly, carefully, and precisely is heavily dependent on a strong grip, a good sight picture and excellent trigger control. Assuming a good grip and sight picture, the secret sauce is found in trigger control.
One of the most important fundamentals of pistol shooting is sight alignment. A red dot sight (RDS) provides a lot of benefits but requires a different approach to sight alignment fundamentals. KR Training’s course addresses the RDS fundamentals.
Here is my rather lengthly after action report of the Combative Pistol course I recently attended. This class is a must for anyone who owns a gun for self defense. It will level you up and change the way you…
Training how you fight is an idea I really like and can get behind. However, it’s not possible to always put it into practice during live fire at range sessions, training classes or competitive events.
