Yesterday was a great day of training—Shoothouse, Shooting on the move and learning how 9mm rounds will affect a car. We skip rounds off the car’s hood - and put rounds on a paper target. Plus, an overview of trauma medical treatment. " This was not a trauma medical course."
In one of the simulations in the shoot house, two people were sitting having lunch and looking down at the Menu; suddenly, someone shouted shooter- That is when we used OODA, “Observe, Orient, Decide, Act.” How do you and the person you are having lunch with deal with the threat? How about all civilians, or how fast can you identify the shooter?
I learned so much and still have so much to learn.

I had a self defense pistol class where we observed the same lesson by skipping bullets off of the tops of plastic 50 gallon drums into targets. It doesn’t take much to redirect a bullet when the angles are shallow enough.
Our instructor’s main point was shooting over the hood of a vehicle or similar flat concealment is not the best idea since the rounds that hit it are likely to skip right at you.
