Tactical Response's inaugural "The Way of the Rifle" class was a five-day training event held in Camden, Tennessee between April 5-9, 2010. Topics covered by this class ranged from basic rifle and pistol manipulations to shooting on the move, low-light shooting, and providing medical aid under fire. Jay Gibson and Paul Gomez provided instruction to the eight students who attended the entire week of instruction.
I purchased my first semi-auto rifle about six months ago, with the expectation that I would take Fighting Rifle and Advanced Fighting Rifle. My previous training with Tactical Response had included the Fighting Pistol, Advanced Fighting Pistol, Active Shooter, and Immediate Action Medical classes. When I saw that Tactical Response was offering a five-day rifle class, I knew that this would be exactly what I needed to learn how to run my rifle well.
The first two days of instruction were held concurrently with a Fighting Rifle class, and we had a total of sixteen students on the range. The weather was sunny and hot, but a decent breeze was blowing throughout the day. Instruction started with some basic by-the-numbers pistol work to make sure everybody was on the same page. Rifle manipulations followed and then reflexive transitions to pistol were mixed in. Transition to pistol was to be a recurring exercise all week long; it's easy to forget about the little gun when the big gun stops working. The remainder of the first day introduced shooting on the move, adding barrels to create rectangular and serpentine paths.
The second day of training continued to be hot and sunny. The training introduced team movements and shooting from cover. This was the most physically demanding of all five days of shooting since there was little slack time between drills and the drills usually involved the entire class. Movement-into-cover drills were introduced and coupled with shooting from nonstandard positions. Team concepts included High-Low shooting positions, peels, and two-man leapfrogging and bounding. Effective verbal and non-verbal communication between team-members was stressed in the movement drills.
On the third day of training, we caught a break in the heat with some overnight showers. The class size decreased from sixteen to eight students and the level of complexity continued to increase. The movement and cover drills from the previous day were repeated, but added more shooters to the drill. Shooting from awkward positions was introduced, which totally invalidates the concept of a "correct" shooting position. Yes, your rifle will run just fine upside-down. The "Meltdown Drill" was introduced, which is to shoot an entire rifle magazine and transition to the pistol after every shot. This drill emphasizes smoothness over raw speed and I think I'll try it in the future with an Allen dot target. We also started shooting from longer distances, out to about 75 yards. The range wasn't exactly flat, and some amount of kinesthetic improvisation was necessary when shooting from prone or near-prone positions.
Day four continued the pleasantly cool and overcast weather. We warmed up with more transition drills and began working on malfunction-clearing drills. After working on immediate- and remedial-action manipulations, we repeated the drills as one-handed exercises. The awkward-position work from the previous day carried over, especially in the off-hand-only exercise. The day wrapped up early with an "about 300 yards" spotter-assisted bench shoot in preparation for a night shoot. The night-work covered the various combinations of handheld and weapon-mounted lights with both pistol and rifle. The upside to lighting is that it doesn't really need to aimed as accurately as the weapon, but a flash of white light is just as loud as a gunshot. There was enough light in the sky to tell which way was up, but otherwise it was dark enough that all manipulations had to be performed by feel. Even loading magazines, which is usually a relatively simple task, required extra attention in the dark.
The final day started with pistol transition exercises and some turn-shoot-move drills. The bulk of the day was spent running downed-operator drills, which combined all of the skills that we had been taught throughout the week. The goal is for a three-man group to retrieve the unconscious fourth man from cover and render medical aid while maintaing constant fire. For me, this drill drove home that bullets are little capsules of time in the fight because I didn't want to run dry while my teammates were between cover.
The Way of the Rifle was worth every cartridge, dollar, and minute that I spent on it. Even though pistol skills are potentially more relevant to my day-to-day life as an armed citizen, if things ever get sideways enough where I need a rifle, I know that this class was an excellent investment.
