View the videos from this event on our YouTube page, ACT Playlist .
Topics:
Situational awareness:  OODA Loop  applied, Target identification, Threat assessment Action vs. Reaction: Reactionary Gap, Balance of Speed and Accuracy Critical decision making: Shoot vs. No Shoot, Proportional use of force Communication: Verbal Challenge. Surrender ritual, Command and Control Cover vs. Concealment: Understanding structures Techniques applied equals tactics. Slicing the pie, fatal funnels, positions of tactical advantage Planning and partner movement: Dedicated fields of fire and going with the flow Time to put your thinking caps on... once the physical act of shooting moves from a cognitive process to a reflexive response, are you responding correctly and efficiently? If your "training" has only consisted of static marksmanship drills, now is the time to get off the line and break the square range mentality and challenge your mind, after all... it is the mind that controls the body.
We will be focusing on pistol, however if you have a rifle or shotgun that you want to work with bring it on out and we will discuss the contrasts that exist.

ADAPT Faculty regularly trains with other schools to learn new techniques, teaching methods, coaching skills, and stay current with new technologies that have come into the marketplace. 
This was a great experience for us as a group, often we are not able to attend courses together, as we are teaching or working and the conflicting schedules do not allow. 
Keeping notes during the course of the exercises we liked, areas we need to improve on, and the pearls of wisdom we pick up along the way is extremely valuable in our growth as individuals and as a company. Once we have a Faculty debrief we might post a course review to be attached to this album. (COURSE REVIEW LINK)
If you have any questions about this course, Front Sight as a whole, or what is different about our courses please let us know. 
Share with us your training experiences, what schools you attended, what you liked and learned, and what could be done better.
We hope to see you on the range soon. Stay safe. Train hard. Always ADAPT.

What a great group of hard workers! The breeze was nice to keep it cool, but a bit more wind than we were expecting. Having moving targets makes it more fun though.
