“We do this for posterity” is how Mudcat (Greg Harris) ended my first Appleseed event.
Mudcat told me about Appleseed after a Combat Focus Shooting course I was teaching and invited me to attend. Appleseed is a rifle marksmanship course sponsored by the Revolutionary War Veterans...

Bravo Zulu on what you have recognized so far.
"Through realistic a frequent training on can use the power of recognition to be more efficient during a Dynamic Critical Incident." - Warrior Expert Theory
This comes from the fact that studies have shown that experienced professionals (SWAT...
I have not read the article yet and I really feel like I could speak volumes on this topic on either side but I'll just say one thing. If pilots would have been allowed to have a gun onboard prior to 9/11, the FAA and the airlines would have made them lock it in a box and put the box in a...
It sounds a little like you are looking for a course incorporating a lot of the legalities of a shot. That is definately something to learn. However, if at the moment you are just looking for a strictly training course, a Combat Focus Shooting Course could be of value to you as well. Many...
Hello. I am that James guy. I am glad to see interest in the program and all of the AARs.
I got involved with Combat Focus Shooting in 2006 because I was looking for training that didn't leave me feeling unsure of what I was doing. I wanted a professional to tell me what to do and why...
I had been working nights at the Home Depot and was asleep. A delivery guy knocked on my door and told me what happened. I watched on TV for about 20-30 minutes then went back to sleep. I was in OKC, OK when the Federal Building was destroyed. (I felt it 15 miles out.) When there isn't...
I'm not sure but don't most house fires burn far hotter than 1500 degrees? I was thinking something like 2200 degrees so this would be pointless, if that is true.
Sorry this is coming so late. I have been offline for a few weeks. I wanted to say that I really enjoyed the class and learned a lot. Thanks to all the instructors and shot test dummies. :D
Hello,
My name is James. I was really glad to find such a good gun forum here. I moved to Indiana from Oklahoma during this past year. I have always worn a uniform, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Civil Air Patrol. So I am of course former Navy and former Army National Guard.
I guess you could...
Cool. I had another thought. Could it be possible to work in a brief discussion on the storage of medication, maybe 15 minutes or so.. I know a few people who store aspirin, allergy medication, antibiotics in survival kits and keep the kits in their cars. I don't think you can safely do that...
I'm going to join the class on Sat 11-14 at 10 am too. I had been building a trauma kit of my own. Will there be time for you to evaluate it if I bring it?
