In the Louisville Slugger museum they have some batons that they madem in addition to baseball bats. IIRC they were from the 40's.

Lloyd I saw something similar at one of John's seminars. The recoil caused the hammer to put a hole in a guys cowboy hat.

LOL, fair, that's funny!

Heck Rokyudai, you should have joined us. It was held near Katy.

part 2 of SouthNarc's class review We were also lucky to have some bonus vehicle evolutions (VBJJ=vehicle Brazilian jiu jitsu). This was a definite eye opener and a great learning experience for everyone. A few observations: If the BG has hands on, it makes a huge difference in...

Y'all shoulda been there! I had so much fun and learned a lot of great concepts. This past weekend I had the opportunity to participate in SouthNarc's PUC, and ECQC 1 & 2 . This class is even better than the last iteration I took. I was happy to meet & train with some new, as well as some...

For me, it has been FOF evolutions at SouthNarc's ECQC class. By FOF, I mean wearing FIST helmets etc, it's all in play (empty hands, training gun & training knife), maybe 1 aggressor maybe 2. It's pretty dynamic, the unknowns really get your heart pounding, and your performance is watched by...

Excellent point! Marksmanship is only a part of self defense. That 14 ft. AVG means you'll probably need some movement and some empty hands skills to get your gun into play.

No kidding. Some look and still do not see. BBQLS1- training classes can be great learning experiences.

While every picture tells a story, they don't neccissarily tell the whole story. I met up and worked with some TR alums on drawing from the ground and shooting while grounded. We also worked on some shooting from extension to compression drills, and the dogpile drill. We had a great time...

Old Guy I agree this sometimes gets out of hand. Here is a link http://www.rangemaster.com/newsletter/2008-07_RM-Newsletter.pdf to the data in the Rangemaster newsletter about student involved shootouts. The conclusion looks like you've got a high probability more than one assailant...

Night sight bead and a weapon mounted light are good suggestions. I would try to keep is simple and not add a bunch of gee-gaws on it making the shotgun heavy & cumbersome.

Okay folks, the range didn't suffer from Ike's wrath. If you are interested in attending, you need to contact me and get your deposit sent to secure a slot in the class. Shoot me an email at GLOCKFANatCOMCASTdotNET (replace the "at" with @ & "dot" with . & remove all the spaces) There are...

Blunt force weapons will always have a place because they have the power to "switch people off".

A lot of people paint the front sight.
