No kidding! I've been doing this a long time. The worst students I've ever had were the ones who didn't want to be there. Training military and law enforcement can be daunting. Training citizens who self-select and want the information is like a breath of fresh air!I think roach has managed to talk a lot of people out of taking classes, lol.
It doesn’t seem this way to me. This, once again, seems too ‘all or nothing’ to jive with my understanding of the topic of why people choose to train or not. There are too many variables involved to make this assessment so simply. And making quick assumptions about some of these factors as we are going to try to comprehend them is going to seem judgey.This really degraded from something of value to mindless bickering. That's my fault. My aim was to discuss why people feel they don't need formal training. It seems that people either think they need it, or they think they don't. I hope we are both right.
Going tomorrow!! (During my training lol)
I've never seen a 360° berm in real life. I'm sure some range somewhere has it, but no where near me. I plan on eventually building one. I currently have an about 210° bermAre you suggesting that shooting a drill to proficiency mean you are going to be able to expand that proficiency to a real world, 360 degree environment?.

That can be done - Koko Head range, inside Kahauloa Crater, Oahu island, Hawaii. It's the only public range on the island. In fact, it may be the only public outdoor range in Hawaii; I'm not sure. Of course, there are still several private clubs scattered about the islands and there's even one high school that still has a shooting team!^^^ how about inside a dormant volcano?
30-40 years ago (so long back I can hardly remember) off 1960 around 290 area IIRC there was an old Sandpit range where ya walked down old wooded stairs into the bottom of the pit (30+ foot or more deep) - ya could shoot any direction ya wanted there as long as you were the only ones down there. It was a real dump, trash everywhere - long gone now I reckon - they probably filled it up and built homes on it years ago.^^^ how about inside a dormant volcano?
I remember hearing about that place though I never went. Yeah, it was a long time ago.30-40 years ago (so long back I can hardly remember) off 1960 around 290 area IIRC there was an old Sandpit range where ya walked down old wooded stairs into the bottom of the pit (30+ foot or more deep) - ya could shoot any direction ya wanted there as long as you were the only ones down there.
That's not so bad. I know of one Superfund toxic waste dump in Houston that got lost in all the paperwork, was graded over, and is now a subdivision. I'm willing to bet that not a single homeowner in there knows the history of the location.It was a real dump, trash everywhere - long gone now I reckon - they probably filled it up and built homes on it years ago.
I wouldn't doubt there are several across the country. Of course that was back before it was bad for ya.That's not so bad.
