TRICON Carbine II -Weak-side Drills

Trident Concepts Combative Carbine II (CC2) course. Here we're running 1vs1 competition drills, weak-side offhand standing, shooting a small popper steel plate at 50 yards. On the command "Go," the shooters ready their carbines and fire 2 rounds at the same plate. Whoever hits BOTH shots first, wins. If you miss one or both shots, you lose. If both shooters miss one or both shots, they both lose as well.

It's a damn fun drill that makes you have to balance between speed and accuracy. We all got frustrated at some point (some more than others!), because we'd rush our shot(s) and miss, when we know damn well we could've made our hits if only we'd slow it down a hair. It also teaches you that in the end, it's only hits that count.

I seriously need to find one of these classes. I only get to do some of this shit with the line coaches when we have ammo to burn. Again with the pilot gloves (sorry) I see you cut your primary hands index and thumb tips off on your pirmary hand, and on your left, you left it the stock. How is the feel difference? And I keep asking because I bought a pair and can't run them for a little bit...

@navyman8903 I like to have my thumb and trigger finger cut out on SOME gloves, depending what all I'm using them for and doing with them. I like the extra dexterity it provides so my trigger finger can perfectly feel and squeeze the trigger. I like the way it feels still, except if it's a cold environment I wouldn't recommend it because the advantages don't outweigh the costs in my opinion.

what are the advantages of high ready vs low ready?

[RetreatHell]

@ryusekai But Jeff also lets it web known that it's just another tool, and that nothing of course is absolute. All methods have their advantages and disadvantages and it's up to the individual which method to use and when to use it.

[ryusekai]

@RetreatHell I will give it a try. do you find it any faster than low ready? in reference to NSW and CQB, would they make entry using high ready? seems like it might be an issue. Thanks for the reply :) Great vid by the way.

[RetreatHell]

@ryusekai Depending on how low your "Low Ready" is, it can be a hair slower. If you use a true low ready then it's pretty much the same. If you use a Magpul low ready, where they basically have the gun almost all the way up, just looking over the sights, then yeah it'll be a lot slower than that. Also the shorter the gun, the quicker it'll be (i.e. sub-guns and SBRs).

As for your other question, that's definitely out of my lane so I can't answer it :)

[RetreatHell]

@ryusekai A lot of it has to do with protecting against gun grabs by quickly striking the opponent in the face with the mag or hand guard or any part of the gun really, and generally just bashing someone in the face in general. NSW is extremely well trained in close quarters battle, be it shooting or fighting, much more so than other units (to my knowledge).

It's also less fatiguing if you're constantly mounting the gun over and over again.

There were other reasons too but I can't recall them.

[RetreatHell]

@ryusekai I wanna say the target zone we were aiming for was around 8 inches. If we hit the top or bottom of the lollipop plate it didn't count :)

[ryusekai]

what size are the plates?
