Default Re: Vehicle Tactics

This is good information and sounds like an exceptional class.

Some of this information was presented in a John Farnam class I took in 02. It was given in a one day additional class after his 2 day basic/intermediate.

Remember to cover every conceivable opening in your vehicle's heating system to prevent brass from getting into the blower/vent openings. I found brass months later in, around, and under my seats.

For a full day of dedicated vehicle tactics, $150 is a good buy.


MarcS, could you review this class when complete.
I reread the info being presented a few times and I doubt I would ever be in a "Team" situation but it couldn't hurt to review. I've taken other tactics classes which also involved teamwork and communication between team members. My wife (not a gun person) would listen to me and we have reviewed our strategy for when we are out together,but if i was in a car with anyone else, I would essentially be on my own.

I would hope that a one day class like this would not try to fit too much material that would not be retained by someone with a limited shooting background such as one previous handgun class.

The outlined item about calibers reacting to different parts of a vehicle surface is hard to imagine. My point is that the makeup of vehicles whether it be glass,sheetmetal, heavier metal framing or plastic differ so completely from vehicle to vehicle that the variables of penetration would be hard to give definite information on (shot angles for example). If you could, give us your take on the insrtuctors ideas.

As always, anyone training needs to practice what was presented. A statement that I myself do not adhere to regularly(but should).

later
