Firearm Training In Virginia
From: On Target Training and Heide Kaser
2012 Training Courses and NEW Website
Dear Friends and Fellow Firearm Enthusiasts
I have created a very simple website to announce On Target Training Firearm classes, which will help us share what we are doing and expedite registration.
Here is a preview for 2012:
 March 31st – Introduction to Handguns
A course which will include the firearms and ammunition. This is for people who have never fired before, or for people who want to try a variety of handguns and calibers, and get more comfortable. It is ideal for spouses and youth who want to learn in a comfortable no-stress environment.
April 21 – Defensive Pistol Skills
This one-day seminar will cover the following skills sets vital for self-defense, concealed carry, and action pistol shooting events (IDPA or USPSA): rapid drawing from a holster and target acquisition, quick placement of multiple hits on a target, rapid placement of hits on multiple targets, use of cover – moving to cover and firing from cover, use of movement – while drawing, moving to cover, and while firing, and techniques for smooth and rapid reloads. We will end the course with shooting mini-scenarios applicable to self-defense situations or an action pistol match, in which all of the skills practiced during the day will be utilized.
June 2 – Practical Carbine
This course is designed for rifle students interested in mastering accuracy and speed on both paper and reactive steel targerts using a variety of positions and movement.
Drills range from focusing on traditional rifle positions and accuracy to firing on the move, firing on steel from distance behind cover, adverse firing positions, decision making and reactive drills.
Students at all skill levels benefit from taking this course to improve their accuracy and speed. The day will end with challenging field courses designed to use the skills practiced during the day, and will make use of the rolling wooded terrain on this property.
Woman shoots and kills home intruder with .22 pistol
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Threat Watch, Warriors on 30/Nov/2011 22:14
The woman in this video used a .22 pistol to defend herself from a would-be rapist that broke into her home – and she killed him with it. This story illustrates that even a .22 can be lethal.
A related point is that training is crucial, because a .22 round in a vital organ will put a bad guy down faster than a .45 that misses or only wounds him. Doesn’t matter how big the bullet is if it misses the target.
A Kid’s First Shot
When is it the right time to take your son or daughter to the range? At the Typical Shooter, James Allen has some advice on that.
With the first squeeze of the trigger he was hooked, he finished the 18 round magazine (or clip if you prefer) laid the pistol down and turned to me with one of the biggest teethiest grins I have ever seen.

An effective, light-recoil defensive round – but don’t count on a light, defensive load not going through sheet rock and hitting a neighbor or family member on the other side. “You are responsible for every bullet that comes out of your gun.”

Meghan Brown killed attacker with her pink .38
Posted by Jack Sinclair in Law, News, Threat Watch, Warriors on 21/Mar/2011 20:21
TIERRA VERDE — “Meghan Brown had fired her pink .38-caliber handgun only inside a shooting range. Even there, she said, she wasn’t very good.
The 2009 Miss Tierra Verde, 25 and a slender brunet, had trouble pulling back the trigger. When she did manage, she said she almost never hit the target.
That Saturday was different.
A man barged into her home, attacking her and beating her fiance … She trained it on the man, following his movements as he tussled with her fiance.
She saw an opening. She pulled the trigger. Pop. Pop. Pop. Pop.
Albert F. Hill, 42, never got up.”
“I’m glad it was me,” Brown said. “Not everybody else is that prepared, you know what I mean. Not everybody else is walking around with a loaded .38.”
Kahr Arms CM Series
Posted by Brian in Handguns, Kahr, News, Warrior Tools on 15/Feb/2011 16:17
Kahr Arms introduces new compact pistol series.
From Tactical Wire:
The CM Series takes the value priced features from Kahr’s CW series (3.6″ barrel 9mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP models) and incorporates these features into a smaller 3″ barrel package. The CM9093 has the same external dimensions as the PM9093, which make it ideal for concealed carry by licensed civilians and law enforcement personnel.
