Here is Training Article #30…<\/strong><\/p>\n This series of articles gives you a glimpse at the handgun techniques we teach at Front Sight.\u00a0 Unfortunately, these articles cannot impart any actual skills.\u00a0 The life-saving skills of gun-handling, marksmanship, and tactics can only be gained from attending a course at Front Sight.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s assume you have actually fired on an adversary.\u00a0 Does that mean the fight is over?\u00a0 No, certainly not.\u00a0 All it means is the fight has started and you\u2019ve had your turn.\u00a0 You don\u2019t know what\u2019s coming next.\u00a0 So, you need to prepare yourself for the next engagement, whatever that might be.\u00a0 Hopefully there won\u2019t be one, but you\u2019d better expect one.<\/p>\n There are really three questions you need to answer after you\u2019ve engaged an adversary.<\/p>\n To answer these questions, you will perform what we call After Action Drills.\u00a0 There are four components to the after action drills: step, quick check, final check, and scan.\u00a0 All of these are done from the Ready position so you have a clear view of the area and you can respond to a threat quickly.<\/p>\n After you have fired, you need to move out of the line of attack.\u00a0 Don\u2019t just stand still waiting for your adversary to react.\u00a0 As you come down to the Ready, you are going to take a step to the side.\u00a0 On the street, you may in fact take several steps to make use of cover and concealment.<\/p>\n Next, you will perform a quick check.\u00a0 The quick check is designed to pick up an adversary who is standing right next to you at arm\u2019s reach.\u00a0 The quick check involves moving your head quickly, left and right, so you can pick up someone standing near you.\u00a0 The quick check is very similar to quickly looking left and right at a four-way stop sign.\u00a0 It needs to be rapid but you must actually identify what is near you.\u00a0 How could somebody be standing within arm\u2019s reach and you haven\u2019t even seen them?\u00a0 Tunnel vision.\u00a0 Under the stress and adrenaline of a gunfight, your peripheral vision closes down.\u00a0 The quick check takes into account that tunnel vision.<\/p>\n Next, you need to verify that the adversary who you just shot is out of the fight.\u00a0 You will do this by means of the final check.\u00a0 Simply look at your adversary and determine if he is still a threat.\u00a0 The final check may last one second or it may last ten seconds.<\/p>\n Now you need to scan your entire surroundings to see if there are any other threats.\u00a0 The scan is a slow, methodical study of the area 360\u00ba around you from the tips of your toes all the way to the horizon.\u00a0 The scan is designed to pick up the guy hiding behind the dumpster, or behind the car, or on the rooftop.\u00a0 When scanning, your upper body rotates like the turret on a tank; your head and your weapon moving together.\u00a0 You don\u2019t want your head and your weapon pointed in different directions.\u00a0 If you see a threat and your weapon is facing the other way, you are behind the power curve in getting your weapon on target.\u00a0 On the street, your next adversary may be approaching from the rear, therefore, scan a full 360\u00ba.\u00a0 Once you are absolutely certain there are no other threats in the area, your safety goes back on or you de-cock your weapon, as appropriate.<\/p>\n Now, let\u2019s talk about a critical detail that is often overlooked during the scan and that\u2019s your weapon.\u00a0 What if the last round you fired resulted in a malfunction or an empty weapon?\u00a0 Wouldn\u2019t this be a good time to figure that out?\u00a0 So, make sure you glance at your weapon during the scan.\u00a0 As your eyes are moving up and down, checking from the tips of your toes out to the horizon, also look at your weapon.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s put all of these elements together.\u00a0 You\u2019ll start at the Ready, finger straight.\u00a0 As you come on target, your finger goes on the trigger and you engage your adversary.\u00a0 After you\u2019ve fired, your trigger finger goes straight.\u00a0 As your weapon comes down to the Ready, take a small step to the side.\u00a0 Then quick check left and right with just your head.\u00a0 Final check by looking directly at your adversary.\u00a0 Then scan, slowly and methodically left and right, remembering to check your weapon.\u00a0 When you are done with the after action drills, your safety goes back on.<\/p>\n With proper execution of the after action drills, you will be ready for any additional threats which might come your way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n If you want the best training and the greatest value in the firearms industry… Take advantage of our 5 Day Defensive Handgun Course, 30 State Concealed Weapon Permit and our entire set of 7 training manuals (over $2700 in total value) for only $200.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n That’s right!
