Gunfighter Moment – Kyle Defoor

Saturday, April 27th, 2013

Gospel

When conducting real operations or higher level training where individuals are in anything other than a static firing line, all persons must adhere to at least three of the four rules of firearms safety at all times, including accidental falls, and incorrect movement. No exceptions.

If you saw some of the weapons handling and manipulation in Boston you know that this is one of the least touched upon subjects in the shooting/LE world. It is considerably better now in the mil with the exception of pistol only work, which still trips up our soldiers who don’t use a handgun that much.

“Advanced” shooting has nothing to do with targets and timers and everything to do with decisions and tactics. Don’t invent it on the day.

Gunfighter Moment – Kyle Defoor

Saturday, March 30th, 2013

Prove yourself to me
Your xx years carrying a gun means nothing as far as your experience level. Especially when that gun rarely came out to train. I’d take a guy who’s trained with me for two weeks the right way over a guy who is big behind the job title and never trained the right way for 20 years.

Show your skills to me
Display your speed and accuracy with a pro timer and a small target. That FBI Q bullshit is for people with their head in the clouds looking for rainbows and unicorns.

Kill and bury your pride and ego
None of us can get all the answers all the time and being arrogant because of the unit you’re from or because of the gun you carry will only hurt you. At any given time, there’s a 20 year old from the 101st that has way more combat time, more kills, and more sack than you….pretty soon there’ll be women too.

Use your skills
If you’re going to talk the talk, then walk the walk. Training like mad, talking shit, and pretending to be a warrior means dick when you aren’t or haven’t put it to use. If that’s the case, there’s a housewife in Indiana who shot a burglar who has more gun fighting time than you, and she can actually talk about it with cred. Show others what you’ve learned if it will help them.

Kyle Defoor Reduces Adjusts Round Counts for Courses

Monday, January 21st, 2013

Trainer Kyle Defoor has taken a look at current ammo scarcity and adjusted the round count for his courses; balancing training objectives versus ammunition expended.

Adjusted Ammo Counts for 2013

With the recent spike of ammunition prices and scarce availability I have come up with an adjusted round count option of 400 total rounds for my OE 2 day pistol, carbine, or combo classes for those that want to train but supply/cost/availability of ammo is an issue.

Simplistically, some drills are simply cut in half, however there are some factors that many don’t consider which I’ve tried out with some custom and mil classes already this year. I have had no complaints so far, only positive remarks from those who I’ve done this with. Again, 400 rounds total for both days is possible. Hopefully this will help some out.
