Position Sul

By Richard on January 29, 2013 No Comments

BlueSheepdog LogoIf you are interested in the Position Sul, you may want to check out a video and article over at BlueSheepdog on the subject.  The article covers the pros and cons of the standard “low ready” and of Position Sul.  If you are not familiar with the concept, don’t worry, the article and video cover all of the basics and should have you up to speed on what it is in short order.

For those not already aware, I publish both this site and BlueSheepdog.com.  I did not write the article or record the video on Position Sul.  The training article was provided by a friend of mine who is a sergeant on a SWAT team in the mid-west.  He is also a life long outdoorsman, patriot and Second Amendment supporter.

By Richard on October 24, 2012 No Comments

If you are prepared to shoot someone in self-defense, are you also ready to patch yourself up when you are injured in the confrontation?  What about a loved one who has been injured?  Chances are, you are not.  That’s where the Trauma Medicine for the CCW Operator class comes in.

Dr. John Meade and Don Robison with Suarez International are teaching a class early in November that aims to give you the skills you need to survive an armed confrontation, both the use of force to stop an attack and dealing with the traumatic injury that is likely to result.

NRA Instructors: Online Courses Prohibited

By Richard on November 12, 2011 No Comments

This week I received a notice from the National Rifle Association addressed to certified instructors and training counselors.  The notice prohibits instructors from teaching online classes under the banner of the NRA.

While I am a strong supporter of distance and online education, I agree with the NRA on this one.  They make the point that it is impossible to adequately evaluate the student’s safe handling and shooting of a firearm via an online learning experience.  And I believe they are absolutely correct.

While a great many things can be learned from reading a book or through independent study, the safe handling of firearms should be taught and evaluated by a experience instructor who is on scene to make immediate corrections as needed.
