Another of the great benefits of airsoft is being able to safely work forward of the line if needed. I've found airsoft is especially helpful in barricade and vehicle training.

I have a few days available in January. If you want to get together just PM me.

I'm glad it was safe and accuracy was good. It's important training, and Craig is one of best in his area of expertise. With a proper index accuracy can be pretty impressive. But that video showed Craig forward of the firing line during live fire... and I don't do that or recommend that. I also find using airsoft to be very helpful in developing proper safety habits and saving valuable ammunition.

Classic ECQC Retention shooting training with Craig Douglas:



I train the same thing, but with different methods. As you can see in the video some of the shooting is a little sporting from a safety standpoint. Much better to train with an airsoft first, and then dryfire, and only after that confirmation with live-fire.
