The Rogers course cut zero slack. You either hit steel or you didn’t. It was totally skill and speed based.
It made me rethink caliber, sights, holster, and my own coordination.
Lights will always be more useful than nightsights. I think to an extent and for the truly switched on that night sights are kinda pointless in lieu of a good WML that simultaneously blinds, disorients, gives positive ID, and acts as a reference point for flash shooting. Your rounds are gonna go where the light goes. Especially close in.
I say High Risk service because it showed a LOT of dirty tricks when going into a structure that most people don’t consider and how fast things can go. If you can master a good entry and have a good rhythm then half the battle is won right there. “Violence of Action” gets overused as a term but it’s true and it works.
That’s what helped me.
As I age, there’s more I’d like to do on Trauma side if not matriculate that way
