Last call. I'll be leaving for Terre Haute Wednesday.
Any pistol ammo required for the shotgun course or just our normal social requirement?
Should be a fun day on Friday.
Day 2 of the pistol class included weather that was labeled as sub-optimal. The teaching and learning was solid just as one would expect it to be in a Range Master course. The class performance was solid. I think it was fair to say that learning occurred and that the those in attendance are better prepared for the world that they live. Those that did not attend missed out on a great opportunity.
Alright, here's something I should have asked in class but didn't think of until after...
This is in regard to low ready vs high ready. I need to go back to my notes, buy from what I remember when ready positions were discussed, the low ready was said to be better in closer quarters, and times to shot were noted to be faster. It was also said to be better for retention. In the context of home defense, this seems to favor the low ready. However, all the drills were shot from the high ready. What are the advantages of the high ready in the home defense context? Why wasnt the low ready used in any of the class exercises?
Q: Is the high ready you are all discussing having the muzzle elevated and the butt of the stock low (like by your belt), then when you need to shoot, you rotate the gun so that the stock lands in your shoulder pocket as the muzzle comes drops onto the target?
If you would have been in the class, you would know the answer.
