Haley Talks Holsters

Tuesday, July 10th, 2012

This video from Panteao Productions has been around for awhile but Travis Haley does a great job of explaining what a drop leg should and should not be.

This set up is a hybrid that uses the G-Code RTi mount. This system allows you to move the holster from mount to mount. In fact, several Kydex producers are beginning to incorporate the RTi system into their product line.

HSP Offers Free Download of Targets

Friday, July 6th, 2012

Haley Strategic has just bundled their lineup of training targets into a single zip file for free download. These are the same targets we used at the recent Disruptive Industries event and are used by Travis Haley not only to keep his shots tuned up but to train his students. Now you can use them too. You get Twister Drill, Lucky Charms and Shift Gears from HSP as well as The Practical Shooting Academy’s Trigger Stripe. I find them to be very effective training tools and think it’s great that HSP is sharing them.

Make Ready with Paul Howe – Tactical Drills

Sunday, June 24th, 2012

20120623-220936.jpg

This is the fifth instructional video from Paul Howe in the ‘Make Ready’ series. ‘Tactical Drills’ is a concise video featuring the benchmark range drills taught by Paul Howe. Paul is a high-risk training instructor that served 20 years in the US Army, ten of those in Special Operations, including service in battle of Mogadishu that was later portrayed in the motion picture ‘Black Hawk Down.’

Paul takes you step-by-step through drills like the plate rack from a vehicle drill, engaging multiple targets from cover, interior movement drills, line drill, immediate threat drills, forward movement drills, dealing with wounds, 100-7 drill, battlefield weapon recovery, and the granddaddy of all drills – the 500 yard Scrambler.

Panteao is accepting pre-orders for the DVD and expects it to be released in July.
