May 7, 2016 Gun Powder Gals

It was my privilege and honor to work with this great bunch of Gals back in April (rained-out) and today at the Gun Powder Gals Women’s Only Practical Tactical Clinic.  Thanks to every one of you, and extra-thanks to Candy Sugarman.
~ Dean Wiley

Here’s the scores/results and complicated-technical “Stage Briefs” for their first timed event and two mini-match stages.  (Adobe PDF): 2016_0507_GunPowderGalsPracticalTactical

A few things to remember from our time together:

Women shoot better and can hold their guns out there longer because: “We hold babies [like that].”  Mystery demystified 🙂

When in doubt about what to do with your non-shooting (support) hand, put it over your heart / don’t put it near the gun.  No crossing thumbs, especially all the way behind a handgun.  No “support or bracing” (cup-saucer, elbows or arms set on a surface).  Seattle police shootout Dec. 2015 – 2:58-3:08 notice the 45-to-90 degree muzzle flip: https://youtu.be/OOycGq3R5Lk?t=2m54s

And, now, I must end this – gotta go do mothers day stuff.  I thank you ladies again and wish you all Happy Mother’s Day!  Sorry for the long delay in getting this posted – got to “play date” with the Grands after our little thing yesterday and then Computers, internet, servers, the Great “Why Can’t I Just… Argh!” happened.

IALEFI at the Academy 2015

Firearms Instructors!NCJAlogo

The annual International Association of Law Enforcement Firearms Instructors ( IALEFI ) regional training conference at the North Carolina Justice Academy ( NCJA ), East / Salemburg Campus, is on Monday, November 9 and Tuesday November 10 this year.  No need to find a hotel, NCJA has very nice dorms available.

NRA LE instructors: these are not “just” excellent classes, they count towards your ‘required training hours’ renewal requirement.IALEFI

Events include:
• Vendor Displays
• Close Quarter Pistol *
• Reflexive and Red Dot Sight Systems *
• Tactical Shotgun Operation *
• Operating in Low Light Conditions
• Benelli Nova Armorer Course
Steel Targets – Fact and Fantasy
* = Live Fire, high round count

Scholarship Charity Challenge Mini-Match
Open to the public. **
ncjacc160
Bring your eye and ear/hearing protection and your gear to the range on the afternoon of Monday, November 9.  The one-stage mini-match for the benefit of the IALEFI Scholarship Fund will be held again.  $5 for a single shoot, $20 to shoot five times.  12 rounds and one reload are required per run.

Usually three winners are selected to share a portion of the collected money.  This year there will be other prizes and all of the collections are going to the Scholarship Fund.  The winners are selected by dividing the sorted list of finished time-scores into three equal parts and picking the first name on each list.  October 12 Update: So far we have six trophies for match winners.  The top three will each get one, then the listed will be “folded” into quarters and the first name below the three folds will also get one.

** If you are a “qualified” shooter – Security, Law Enforcement, Corrections Officer, “Competition” (IDPA, USPSA/IPSC) or “match” shooter – please join us in this mini-NCJA Charity Challenge.  You do not have to be an Instructor or Conference Attendee to join us in this skills test and fund-raiser.  You do have to be qualified (please, self-assess) as there will be over 100 Firearms Instructors on hand to make sure you are safe.  You must be able to safely draw from your holster and reload.
