you guys got to shoot 5.56 in the house?

frangible?

Yes, 556 in the house. No frange. All targets were positioned on the outside walls.

This is certainly one I wish I could have attended. Unfortunately time and finances did not allow...

Good CQB training is always a sound investment.

Looks like it was a great class. I would have loved to attended but I was on call for several superior court cases. The attendees were extremely lucky to be able to run 5.56 in the house.

It was a daylight class for learning CQB.

I'm jealous. The last time I did CQB training was out at BW. It's probably some of the best training one can get.

Just a quick/possibly dumb question, why a CQB and team tactics course for civilians?

i love that house.

It is a good shoot house for sure.

Personally I think that target placement was very good (read hard) than it was during low light. This caused many a shooter to kill a hostage.

Individual clearing was also taught (fyi).

Knowing how to properly clear a home, which is 100% relevant, is always a good idea.

So who is on your two/four man team you ask? Your wife, child, friend, neighbor, etc.

The MOST realistic shooting situation you will be in (as a civy) is a home invasion AKA CQB.

It's not a dumb question at all. A lot of people wonder the same thing.

The answer is this: Because the ordinary civilian deals with the very same threats that the guys with badges and body armor deal with. If you're nestled snug in your bed when you hear your daughter scream bloody murder as some scumbag tries to break into her room, you and the wife teaming up to go ruin that ****er's day would be a good thing.

The same guys that the police gear up in body armor and machine guns to go deal with have a bad habit of hurting ordinary people who don't have body armor and machineguns.

Single-man CQB is the most likely to be used by the average joe...but if you have a situation where you have access to help, it would be good to have it.

CQB training is a tool in the toolbox. A tool everyone who carries a weapon for a legitimate purpose ought to know.

Amen! As far as I am concerned, CQB training is the single most important thing you can learn (as a civy).
