I mind the one by someone who might be on your blogroll (I don't remember, give an old man a break).<br /><br />It seems she was loading some magazines, and proceeded to slam the first one against her helmet, good and hard, to seat the cartridges in good order. Only problem was, she had forgotten that she wasn't wearing a helmet at the time. Oww! And stagger around the room!

I came away with some good info, but was junk by 2:00 on Sunday. Cleaned my 19, showered, grabbed a bag of frozen peas, stuck it in my strong hand and wrapped it with a towel and went to sleep.

Thankfully, the locks held, but I was too busy to notice. I dove for the tupperware and covered one entrance to the room, and tacti-kitty, bless her ancient soul, got all tacti-sneeky and crept around to check out the other entrance. I was able to watch my entrance and her at the same time. She peaked around the corner and scoped out the hallway but good, and when she relaxed and came back without alerting, I knew everything was okay.<br /><br />I miss tacti-kitty. :-(<br /><br /><b>BSR</b>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-34486342688821586772012-10-23T22:18:17.523-04:002012-10-23T22:18:17.523-04:00"Granted, this would have a learning value so..."Granted, this would have a learning value somewhere between a game of Counterstrike and watching Heat for the twenty-third time"<br /><br />So...a lot?

Could be time, accuracy, safe manipulation through tactical movement or whatever. Do it before, maybe during and after to measure the improvement. <br /><br />Measuring student improvement from a bunch of courses would be interesting for a lot of reasons. One of them would be to see what, if any, relationship there is between round count and skill improvement.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09612373437033635765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-73026506278291206822012-10-22T21:32:07.756-04:002012-10-22T21:32:07.756-04:00NC, those targets with the pre-made holes are call...NC, those targets with the pre-made holes are called negative targets. I ran into them this summer during a training and really got to love them. Mount them on a large backer if you aren't sure you're hitting the target, so to speak.<br /><br />Their purpose is the record only misses, and let you see how the misses group. That tells you a lot about your shooting issues. I've seen the "correction target" (http://www.centerfiretraining.com/id15.html) before, but was never able to make sense of my shooting, what with some holes in right place, a few fliers and many holes all over the lower left quadrant. The instructor took one look at the negative target, diagnosed recoil anticipation, and 15 minutes had me roughly doubling my scores.<br /><br />Worth every penny.
