I keep a basic "Get Home" bag in my Jeep. FIrst aid blowout kit, water filtration straw and purification tabs. Firestarter kit. 2 packages of lifeboat rations. Poncho. Emergency bivvy. Flashlight, spare batteries, spare Glock 19 and 3 loaded mags.

I decided that I wanted to dry fire a dozen or so times before I started shooting. .


I understand dry fire practice at home but why at the range?

Dry firing between live firing is an excellent way to reinforce proper habits, and also to calm down if you catch a flinch or jerk at the range ...

ARs

I currently have 9 of em in a variety of calibers from .22 to 458 SOCOM.

No problem. First time I felt I had something worthwhile to add to the forum. I generally am a lurker on most forums I visit. On Texas Gun Talk I believe I have about 300 posts in almost 5 years, and that is the forum I spend 90% of my time on.

It is a review of a course I took, posted in a classes and training forum.

First a little background about me. I am 38 years old, and have been carrying a concealed handgun since I was 21 and able to get the license.

Over the last few years I have attended three other courses at CSAT taught by Paul Howe. Tactical Pistol Operator, and Tactical Rifle Operator (twice). This ...
