Wayne would run various standards for time and then run each student through the standards for time.

























Each time Wayne would discuss the result and give advice on how to progress properly.









There were a few drills ran from concealment, the shirt rip seemed to have been a popular technique used.













Wayne got out the 3" Dots so the class can run the Garcia Dot Drill.













We also went through the LAPD SWAT Qual A. Most students passed, which is not surprising.









After lunch Wayne guided us deeper down the rabbit hole of problem solving while moving and interjecting no-shoots but still maintaining a hard standard of accuracy.









Introducing no shoots with a hard rule of not muzzling them is a very strict standard to be held to, it is always good practice to not muzzle anything or one who does not need shooting, especially innocents.





Wayne explained various methods of not muzzling a no-shoot, muzzle up or down, working around the obstacle to the target.













Wayne went on to demonstrate various concepts to the class.













Students then broke into two groups, the non shooting group was told to hold the shooting group accountable for muzzling the no shoot as well as keep an eye out for trigger discipline - on target on trigger - should not be the case when going past a no shoot. This was done in multi variations from concealment to low/high ready.

























Wayne then began to explain movement shooting and the students air gunned some of the drills first.













Wayne explained the little nuances.









Students ran it dry a few times more.









Students ran it hot in two groups, always with a buddy to keep the student from going to fast or too slow, safety first.









We moved on to a shooting while moving various angles and directions drill. Which Wayne demoed and we used kit bags as a place holder, walking around them in a circle while shooting.

















Then the students ran through the same drill, accuracy was still expected to be maintained.













Then another kit bag was added and the students ran figure eights around the bags while shooting.









After the students did a bunch of repetitions of the various movement drills, Wayne setup the Snake Drill as a finale, a Ken Hackathorn invention.









Wayne then explained the drill, demoing it dry then hot.













Explaining various ways around the targets without muzzling them.









Then the students ran through the Snake Drill one by one.

































Day Two - Shotgun

We started off in the classroom talking about safety, but more specifically what role a shotgun has in the field.









D.B. talked about the specific niche application of the shotgun for CQB / inside structure work as well as the safety considerations of such an application. Slugs tend to go through nearly everything so shoot through's are a very real consideration, as is the standard 00 Buck application as their pattern tends to open up the further out your target is. All of which D.B. talked about extensively.





ammunition placement. Once we got out on the range, D.B. explained various shotgun setups, both semi and pump, including side saddle ammunition placement.













D.B. recommends the shell run brass up in the side saddle and explained why from his experience and then explained how to properly reload from that setup.













D.B. then began to explain what is needed to be done with every shotgun because of wide variances in design and construction. He began to show how the shotguns patterned at various distances and how to determine what setup is required to get the desired result.













At each distance the students shot slugs and 00 Buck to see where their specific shotgun patterned at what distance.





















D.B. explained shotgun sights and at what distance they are viable for what purpose, here talking specifically about bead sights.
