(For the Indiana guys, 'CPL' is our concealed permit class. I think you guys call yours something different)
From Wiki:
This phenomena is easily applied to firearm training, gear selection, general advice, etc.
Some examples I regularly see:
'My CPL class was great. Instructors were...
I have my own beliefs/opinions/practices of this topic but I want to drum up some conversation.
Do you shoot both eyes open or one eye closed?
Is your focus (optical clarity) on your front sight, or on your target?
Is your focus (mental focus, paying attention to, etc) on your front sight, or...
Three good stages today.
Stage 1 required a high round count and a lot of unconventional shooting positions. Really tested the shooters to know their guns and equipment. Where does your gun hit at 100 yards from rollover prone?
Stage 2 Required a lot of movement, and a lot of pistol work...
Hey guys,
A local guy from Michigan Gun Owners put this together as a way to talk guns/gear/training. It's a voice chat system, you can talk into a mic or just type like a normal chat room.
He's just gauging interest in it now but the system works pretty well. There are no set days or times...
I didn't take any pics this time but have a few from another shooter I can post.
Stage descriptions:
In true ACTS style we rolled around in the snow all day and nobody *****ed.
Try making people at a USPSA event dive prone in 14 degrees and 6" of snow.
Barb planned 4 very good stages and...

I have 14 Glock 17 mags available.
11 of them are factory Glock 17 rounders, all are drop free versions and all function 100%.
3 of them are brand new, never seen a round in them, Korean Kahn mags. 17rd, drop free. I consider these ONLY practice mags. Please do not buy them for carry use...
Hey guys,
This gun started as a factory 17, the grip was cut down to accept 19 mags, the finger grooves removed, and a stipple job applied. Gun is great in the hand and very grippy.
It includes:
- 2 Factory Glock 19 mags
- Trijicon night sights. The rear sights have tritium vials in them, but...
2007 machine bought new in 2008. Ridden very little which is why I'm selling. Purchased with a 4 year full warranty that is transferable (about 3 years left on it).
Machine needs nothing, been taken care of and just used to haul a small garden trailer around the yard.

Is a competition training? Absolutely not.
Can a competition be a good place to practice your defensive firearm skills? Yes.
ACTS strives to keep the rules/skills/stages set up in a way to help the 'real world' shooter. You can never remove all of the 'game' from a competition, but we try to...

Excellent group of shooters yesterday. They were all repeat students, the vast majority of them having trained with multiple schools and quite a diverse group of backgrounds and employment. We got through a lot of material and the class flowed very well.
Guns on the line were...
Awesome class today.

This class was developed by Steve and I after working together at a local indoor range. After seeing countless shooters, from all backgrounds and levels of experience, have issues with the very basics of shooting a pistol accurately, we decided to...
Thoughts from class
Good size class and quite possibly the highest average of new/novice shooters of any one class so far. We are noticing a ton of extremely basic information that should be covered in the CPL class which is either not being covered, or not being absorbed by the student. Even if...
A lot of people ask about rifle sling usage, here's my take. I run a very simple set up. It doesn't quick adjust, it isn't padded, hell it attaches to the rifle with leather loops!
I run the sling at the rear of the rifle receiver then at the front mount on the rifle. It is slung only over my...

Big class this time, 23 shooters from 3 states and an extremely diverse amount of experience. Some had never drawn from a holster before and some have quite an impressive resume of training classes under their belt.
Thoughts from class-
Quite a few different guns out there. There were two...
