NLT Performance SIRTification Course

July 27th, 2011

NLT Performance conducted its first SIRTification course 7/16- 7/18. The course filled to capacity with a short two week notice. The 16 trainers that attended were a fantastic group. The course consisted of a first day of lecture and practical exercises. The second day followed up on the range with live fire.
Although the course is geared for instructors, the information is valuable for any shooter. We received fantastic feedback from the course participants. The next course is at the NLT Facility and NLT range on 8/13 and we are signing up trainers to sponsor a courses at their location. The second video is a final test on day two. All the shooters had a blast finishing this stage. This is a 500 m run with targets along the way. The test is not previewed by the shooter. The student holsters the pistol between shooting positions. The Top Shooter was George Williams of CuttingEdgeTraining.org.

Shooting off of Reset 1

July 26th, 2011

This first video instructs how to ensure shooter is shooting off of the reset. After the shot is broke (green laser coming on) the shooter should release the trigger to the "reset" (the point when the trigger clicks) and not come off of the reset (keeping the red laser on). A trainer can see this happening and the shooter can coach themselves. With the red trigger take up laser cowitnessed with the sights (aligned with the green laser) the shooter will see where the muzzle is oriented with respect to the sights.

Target Transitions 2: Prepping the Trigger While Coming on to the Target

July 26th, 2011

This second video instructs how to ensure shooter is prepping the trigger when transitioning to a target. This is called coming on target with a "hot gun", meaning the trigger is prepped (slack taken out) and ready to break the shot. Use the red take up indicator to see when the muzzle past the target and comes back on target. A trainer can see this happening and the shooter can coach themselves. With the red trigger take up laser at a 6:00 position, the non-dominant eye can pick up generally where the muzzle is oriented without using it as a sighting aid.

Target Transitions 3: Don't Over Transition

July 26th, 2011

This third video shows common issues of shooter over transitioning. Use the red take up indicator to see when the muzzle past the target and comes back on target. A trainer can see this happening and the shooter can coach themselves. With the red trigger take up laser at a 6:00 position, the non-dominant eye can pick up generally where the muzzle is oriented without using it as a sighting aid.
