      Physical fitness of firearms instructors

      Would you have an issue learning gymnastics from Béla Károlyi. I agree with the statement that it matters what they are teaching.

      More down range photographer

      I have done paper, mannequins, simunition, and airsoft. Simunition (or other brands) with people shooting back gets your adrenaline going and increases the fight or flight. We tried to get adrenaline going by running in gas masks before entry with paper targets to get heart rate up but still not...

      More down range photographer

      So in a stressful situation you are hoping to sort out "good shoot bad shoot". A team of bad guys come into a convenience store and start shooting, you shoot back. Without practice you are confident that you will be able to pick out all of the bad guys in and amongst the good guys and only shoot...

      More down range photographer

      Actually there is a lot of science around the ability to successfully reproduce a skill. Mastery of a skill requires repetitive practice of said skill called "deliberative practice" with deliberate practice it has been shown to better prepare the person to reinact this skill under stress or in...

      More down range photographer

      No one is "putting" the photographer down there., he chooses to do it. Just like journalist's going into war zones or riding in the front line. The bonus is some additional confidence of the shooter and cool pictures. Everyone here usually fights for individual rights and yet everyone is...

      Honest Opinions Wanted on Instructors

      It seems to me to tackle of your requests it is hard to find one person to fit the bill. Maybe surrounding yourself with like-minded people will cover your growth as a person and then taking the time to evolve what you need to know by taking some classes with people who specialize in certain...

      Training is too expensive

      Is this really true? I might think that bad training may be worse then no training in some instances.

      Training is too expensive

      Shooting wearing a military hat or police hat vs a civilian hat can be very different. It is nice to say that it doesn't matter in a SHTF situation but it does matter. I do not want to die nor do i want to spend the next 20 years in jail. Being someones "date" in prison may be a fate worse than...

I have rendered care in several austere environments from wilderness to...

      Jeep Wrangler tire suggestions

      late to the thread but Duratracs rock. I have 35's with a 3 in lift. Worked great last week at Badlands even after tons of rain. Also my DD and I have a 50 min drive both ways every day. I got mine from Discount tire, they had to order them but they were in in 3 days. I also got the warranty...

      Finding The Perfect Holster

      and not all kydex are the same. I had 2 different Kydex holsters but was not happy until I waited for a Raven. Also the more you carry the more your demands for comfort and maybe concealment change. Over the last 2 years I have not only changed my holster but changed where I carry. Also as many...

      Armed Dynamics - Appendix Carry Considerations

      I have been carrying appendix style everyday for 2 weeks now. It has really reduced my hip pain that I was getting from all day carry and has been comfortable. I have found it a little hard to conceal carrying on strong side so I am considering trying a crossover grip.

      Why don't we see more women in the Tactics and Training forum?

      Have never taken a female only class. This is the section of INGO I post the most in. Once you take class it can be frustrating as you seen the men run the other direction when it is time to pair up. It hurts my training in FOF because I want someone with man strength grabbing my wrist etc. A...
