Medicine Under Fire

Lone Star Medics – Medicine X

Medicine XI’ve taken a grab bag of Tac classes and pretty much all of them were primarily about putting holes in bad guys, so I got to thinking diversifying a little bit with a medic class would be a good idea. No one really likes to think about themselves or their buddies getting seriously injured, but when the time comes, wishing it away is not going to do a lot of good. Thus getting a least some sort of basic medical education can go a long way which will be helpful outside of tactical situations as well. Having first met up with Lone Star Medics at Shotshow, I jumped at the offer to check out one of their classes this summer. Although I’m decent with a gun, my medical skill didn’t go too far past Band-Aids and fortunately the 2 day Medicine-X class fits that skill level quite well.

Dynamic Gun Drills – Run & Gun

Just remember, your sights are ABOVE that hole where the bullets come out. I have seen one shooter put a 5.56 round through a piece of angle-iron at point blank range (ouch) and another shoot a windshield-wiper off a mini-van with a 10mm pistol. Also, I don’t recommend popping your head out of the same location two times in a row. If you have ever done Force-on-force training you learn to put your sights on the spot the last place you took fire from and more often than not, you can get a head-shot within a second or two. Food for thought.
