Dynamic Red Dot Pistol Shooting Drill - War HOGG V Drill
The War HOGG V pistol shooting drill give the shooter some movement from cone to cone and teaches the shooter how to quickly set up and get good shot placement on target. The distance from cone to cone is totally dependent on how much space you have on your range. This pistol shooting drill can be conducted on both an indoor shooting range or an outdoor shooting range.
Make sure you are collecting as much shooting data as you can an writing it in The Firearms Training Notebook
This drill was designed by using The Firearms Training Notebook, drills section in the back.

War HOGG Tactical - Shooting From Inside A Vehicle Through a Windshield
In my opinion shooting through the windshield should be your last option. I understand the internet makes it look cool but there are some thing to definitely take into consideration. First, do I have any eye pro on, distance to the target, angle of your windshield, angle to the threat, type of ammo being used and have I ever shot through auto glass. The reason for the eye pro question is when you fire through laminated auto glass, there is going to be all kinds of glass shards flying around. I personally don’t want to possibly put myself out of the fight by getting debris in my eyes. The other issue when shooting through the windshield is now my vision is going to get distorted by all the cracks because of the bullet impacts on the glass.
How To Climb A Rope
This is the same rope climbing technique I used when I was in the Infantry in the 82nd Airborne, at Ranger School, during Special Forces Assessment and Selection (SFAS) in 7th Special Forces Group and threw-out my time in Special Operations.
In this video I demonstrate a rope climbing and descending technique that could be useful for athletes of The Tactical Games. This is the way I teach all my students and it starts the building block process for all War HOGG instruction. Start without any kit and build from there. Don't forget to train in the same equipment you are planning to use at the games.
1. Reach your hands up high and secure the rope
2. Pull your legs up high with the rope on the outside of the left foot
3. With the right foot hit the rope with the outside of the right foot so that the rope goes over the top of the left foot and step down with the right foot thus locking the rope with your feet
4. Lift your legs up as high as you can and use the power of your legs to drive upwards
5. To descend, open your feet to control your rate of descent
6. About 2 feet from the bottom of the rope, remove your feet and spread them about shoulders with apart as not to roll an ankle on any rope laying on the ground.
If you have the ability to incorporate climbing a rope into your fitness and firearms would be very beneficial. Use your copy of The Firearms Training Notebook to record both your fitness and dry fire firearms training.
In this video, Rick reviews one of the best ways to supplement your firearm training: airsoft. This alternative to dry-firing practice gives you near same weight and feel as your sidearm, but with the convenience of being able to train with low-cost, biodegradable, training ammunition at home or in more realistic environments. Rick covers why he uses airsoft, gun handling for new shooters, the training plan, training from home, CO2 and green gas options, loading your airsoft mags, improvised targets and indoor target options, shooting drills, gun handling and reloading, and much more. As with any skill, practice is important and should be done as often as possible. Supplementing your firearm training is now possible cost effectively right in your home.

Over View of the Archon Firearms Type B
The Archon Type B is a compact, striker-fired 9mm pistol engineered for shooters who demand fast follow-up shots, flat recoil, and duty-grade reliability. Built around Archon’s patented AF-Speedlock® locking system and a non-tilting 4.3" barrel, the Type B sits exceptionally low in the hand, reducing muzzle rise and letting you track the sights through the entire recoil cycle. The steel internal frame and textured grip module give the pistol a solid, planted feel, while the short-reset trigger and fiber-optic front sight help you shoot faster, more accurately, and with greater confidence on the range or in defensive scenarios.
Designed as a premium 9×19mm handgun for concealed carry, duty use, and performance shooting, the Archon Type B offers a compact overall length of about 7.7" and a height of roughly 5.2", with an unloaded weight around 29.6 oz for excellent balance and controllability. Magazine capacity ranges from 15+1 to 16+1 or more depending on the magazine used, making it a strong option for modern EDC and tactical applications. With its low bore axis, Glock-style sights, aggressive grip texture, and innovative internal geometry, the Type B delivers the feel of a tuned competition pistol in a rugged, everyday-ready package.
Law Enforcement Firing Range Workout with Brute Force Sandbag – Tactical Firearms & Fitness Training
Level up your on-range conditioning and officer survival skills with this brutal, law-enforcement-focused firing range workout using a Brute Force® sandbag. This range fitness session is designed for patrol officers, SWAT, K9 handlers, and firearms instructors who need real-world strength, conditioning, and marksmanship under stress—not just gym numbers.
This sandbag shooting workout blends dynamic weapons handling with functional movements like cleans, shouldering, drags, and carries using a Brute Force sandbag, simulating the awkward loads and chaotic demands officers face on the street. Between shooting strings you’ll perform short, intense sandbag circuits—bear-hug carries to the 25-yard line, sandbag over-the-shoulder reps, ground-to-shoulders, and drag drills—before immediately returning to the pistol or rifle to engage targets. The goal is to drive heart rate up, induce fatigue, and force officers to manage breathing, trigger control, and sight alignment under physical stress, just like a real fight.
This law enforcement range workout can be run as an individual session, partner drill, or full agency in-service block. Instructors can scale sandbag weights to officer ability, add time standards, and track hits to build measurable performance data over time. It’s an ideal program for agencies looking to combine firearms training, officer fitness, and stress inoculation into one compact, on-range evolution—no fancy gym equipment required, just a Brute Force sandbag, quality targets, and a safe range.
