Sean, you guys are zeroing for 15m? I understand that's the new thing. I don't quite see the point myself. You can zero at 25 (or even 50 yards, my preferred) and hit where you want at 15 and in. I do understand the height over bore concerns for close distances, my feelings though are what happens ...

Nothing to do with that Sean. It has to do with that extra whatever of a second it takes to locate your target at close range through magnification compared to without. And you might not have that extra whatever amount of time, so for cqb stuff I'll just take no magnification. You Arizona boys kind...

at 15 yards or less why are you not just referencing the front sight, I don’t know how many rounds I put into rows and rows of little circles just using the front sight, I think its called muscle memory :shock: You can't reference the front site with the TA 11 or TA 31 there highspeed. This is no...

I'm a 1% but it's gotten a lot better with practice. I can blast away in training at cqb distances with no problems, but I don't have the comfort level with it at short range to take it into harms way. At really close distances, it is really how much you shoot and how confident you are. You have to...

Hey SDW, why was the course 2 weeks long? The one I went through was only one week, and it was more than sufficient, almost too much other than we got to blow alot of rounds downrange. Did you all do alot of transtioning from close targets (CQB range) to deep targets (beyond 100m)? It was a decent c...

Fuck, I guess I am a dumbass, I swear when I read it yesterday it said he was "against" the age old red dots. My bad Sean, sorry. As far as magnification and cqb distances, I've trained with it where I can get pretty quick with it, but still engaging multiple targets at close range I'd ra...

Try repetitive training.............
















































I'm sorry, am I being a smartass?

Aimpoint.................I am with SB on this one. I tried all styles of the ACOG (TA-11, TA-55, TA-31), I never liked any of them, alot of it is due to the fact that we operate in both urban and rural environments. Also, until recently, the fellas without Aimpoints had problems shooting their weap...

Can anybody make some suggestions on a good set of gortex insulated gloves that will actually stand up to field use? Everything I have seen looks like it would break down pretty fast after any kind of field use and I would like something with more warmth and dexterity than the issue glove liners an...

Soooo, motherfuckers don't get to experience the "oh-shit" factor of NOT getting beyond an arms length from the Ranger in front of you and seeing the RI Sharks on the peripheals just waiting for that one Ranger student to slip up and fall back just a tad.....and watch all the assholes and ...

Any knowledge will help out your fellow Ranger Students. You WILL be including scheme of fires quite often (at least we did in the mid 90's).

I use the PETZL Tactikka for my line of work. I like it alot, the battery case tends to come dislodged every once in awhile but other than that, it is a good piece of gear.
