Our first Dynamic Force of Force Air-Soft course was a huge success. Ten students attended our first class on Saturday, June 16th, and from their E-mails, they were most impressed with the quality and realism of the training. I played the bad guy, a role I was told I played very well.
The students were brought into the training area one by one, and were explained the drill prior to the start of each scenario. The drills placed the students into extremely realistic, guttural, in your face scenarios. Some of which quickly degenerated into violent, deadly force encounters. Most scenarios were also played out in low light conditions which greatly added to the student's already elevated stress level.
Several students failed some of the drills but the purpose of the training was to let them see their reactions to violent encounters and how they dealt with these stress induced situations. I believe the course was an eye opening experience for everyone involved but I'm sure they all learned from their mistakes. The old adage of "better to bleed in training than on the street" was in definitely play on Saturday.
Several of the alumni are eager to attend the next class we do which should be in October or November. If you carry a firearm as a law enforcement or security officer, or carry because you have a CCW permit then this course is tailor-made for you. It's also a great learning tool for those who own firearms for home defense.
