Above: RMP Class on the new range, which is about 80% complete. The MVT Training Facility has been running for just over  a year now and there have been significant developments and additions to the facility itself, and also the training classes being offered. I started off with the Combat Rifle/Contact Drills (CRCD) class as […]

The following videos are not perfect, and some of them are VERY old school, but they give a good frame of reference to all this talk of observation posts, concealment, and all that. Just take them for what they are and what is relevant to your situation. Discard the rest. You need to add modern […]

I’m in the process of adding categories to the blog posts so they are easier to find. The list is on the right side. So things like previous planning exercises will be found all in one place. I have to go through the posts and categorize them, all 600-odd. So bear with me – some […]

Notes and Comments from Alumni Weekend by JeffSags After spending another weekend in West Virginia I wanted to share a few observations from the recent Alumni Weekend. Those of us in attendance essentially bartered 7 hours of hard work for a bbq, good company and some great instruction on the square range. Everyone had a […]

Student Review: Combat Rifle Manipulation (CRM) – R Why you NEED THIS course. My wife and I attended the CRM on May 31 and June 1.  Our instructor was Aaron.

Is it easily navigable? Anyhow, I saw something on the forum post ‘Tactics for the newbie? Where to start?’ that […]

H/T to Ryan @ TSLRF for finding this video. The instructor covers safety in the video. A couple of things that I would adjust to the way we do it at MVT: 1) There is no need for the 270 degree pirouette. Muzzle down and out of the way of your buddy(s), turn 90 degrees […]

I had my hand surgery yesterday to get the hardware out, which allowed me to milk the opportunity to lay on the sofa and catch up on watching ‘Lone Survivor.’ What a great movie. I’ve heard a lot about this portrayal of Operation Red Wings and yes, it’s a MOVIE and some of the portrayed […]

The Alumni Weekend was a great success and we got a lot done; Jungle clearance, grilling, socializing and shooting. Thank you to all who showed up. We managed to clear out most of the valley that had been choked by felled trees with the construction of  the new road and square range. It is now a […]
