PD Training Carbine II AAR

[jblomenberg16]

For the guys who commented about it. Could you explain to me why a Two point sling is harder to use during a transfer? I almost always prefer a two point and find it to work quite well for shoulder transfers.

Much like Vlad said, I was having a hard time getting the right amount of slack in mine to make a good transition to weak side without strangling myself. Eventually I would pop the sling out from under my left arm, which freed up enough slack to help make the transition more smooth.

I'm running a Troy CQB 2 point that does have the ability to add slack quickly, but found that I still ended up with some problems just do the way I like to have it when carring for my strong side.

Thanks, maybe I'll have to see it. I keep a lot of slack in my sling anyway as it is needed for a dynamic transition to handgun as the rifle goes over your head and onto your back. Are you wearing your sling when you do the transfer? (I am not)

Guys, thanks for your replies. I don't want to sidetrack somebody else's training thread. I will take this to a different thread.

Just got around to posting some of the pictures. Note that all of the photo credit goes to Brandy on these. She has a great camera and caught some really good stuff. I tried to post a few of the shots where she caught brass in the air.


I thought I'd start with the group photo taken at the end of class. Looks like I didn't get the memo that this was the "no smile" pose.

Damn I need to get rid of my belly. I wonder if she has any pics of me nearly passing out after the log drill

Thanks for the pics!

She has several more of the log drill, and none of us looks too happy to be doing it either. Hop's face is a shade of red I've never seen on a human being before!

You just can't beat it. The class I attended was a solid class with a lot of safety, malfunction drills, practice and qualification. By the end you feel pretty good about yourself and the rifle you have.

I was about to pass out from the heat.

I love brass in the air shots!

Thanks for sharing.
