BOLO Report – CMI Announcess LE Designated Marksman Program

Wednesday, November 16th, 2011

Center Mass Inc. (Patrol Rifle Competition, remember?) has announced they are developing and will be teaching a Law Enforcement Designated Marksman Certification Program. They describe it as a â€œnatural progression for law enforcement patrol operations. The NPRC has taught us a very clear lesson over the yearsâ€¦And that lesson is, if you want to win, you need magnified optics. The writing is on the wall in our opinion, that many law enforcement professionals will soon be turning to magnified optics. To this end CMI has combined elements of our acclaimed law enforcement patrol rifle and sniper training programs to develop the Law Enforcement Designated Marksman Certification Program.â€

CMI has led the way in patrol rifle training for a decade and a half, and authored the NTOAâ€™s Patrol Rifle Training Manual. Their sniper training programs are endorsed by the American Sniper Association.

This class is a 2 day, 16 hour course designed to â€œenhance a patrol rifle operatorâ€™s ability to place accurate fire upon targets that are partially exposed or hostage takers encountered during patrol operations using magnified optics. This level of training is the next progression for law enforcement patrol rifle preparationâ€¦â€

StrikeMark Glass Holder

Tuesday, November 15th, 2011

Once StrikeMark Targets released their affordable and extremely popular SM-1 target, one of the first things they set about to do was develop accessories to enhance the versatility of the system. Initially StrikeMark released a stand and now they have produced a glass holder. It is useful for training shooters to engage targets located behind windows or doors made of glass.

The new glass holder is designed to hold glass in a variety of shapes, sizes, thicknesses (up to 3/8″ thick and 18â€ wide), and at a wide range of angles. It is designed to mount to the target stand.
