5-5-2 Survival Shooting Drill

To move onto, or directly into, Intermediate or Advanced levels of instruction, this is one, of several, pre-requisite, or qualifier, drills you must successfully complete

 

  • Draw, move off the line of attack, and place the first combat effect hit on target in under 1.5 s
  • Continue to fire a combat effective, 5-round group to slide lock, then move offline to reload
  • Fire another 5-round, combat effective string, moving offline while reloading again
  • Fire a combat effective, 2-shot group.
  • Complete post-shooting scan for additional threats and/or identify friendlies, re-assess the initial threat, re-holster reluctantly.  Continue additional post-shooting protocols as indicated.
The time starts on the tone and stops on the last round.  Scan is not counted against time, but IS REQUIRED for successful completion of the drill.
This is a Pass/Fail Event.

Provider Course

Tactical Combat Casualty Care

While this is not firearms training per se, it is certainly a mission critical skill set for you to acquire.  It is relevant to any type of related trauma regardless of the mechanism of injury.  DFI went to a 2-day TCCC Provider Course to get first hand skills and knowledge from two very experienced Combat Medics.

Understand that you can only learn so much from watching videos or reading an article or two.  At some point you have to spend the time and treasure to get legitimate, face-to-face instruction and training from qualified instructors.
