Last December I took a combined carbine / pistol class from Pat McNamara – author of TAPS and Sentinel. During the class, we worked on an earlier version of his Grid of Fire drill. We did it with a handgun. The course works on bursts of movement – five yards at a time – in different directions, target acquisition and all of the fundamentals.
This past week, Pat posted a video showing and explaining the drill on his YouTube channel. It is a drill worth doing.
Pat’s company – TMACS Inc – and his bio can be found here: http://tmacsinc.com/
Is his schedule published somewhere? I can’t find anything.
Pat is definitely the epitome of enthusiasm. Can’t wait to take a class with him. Hell, if even just his few YouTube clips raise my heart rate just a bit, class must be intense.
His classes are scheduled through Alias Security. He can crank the classes motivation level up pretty well.
Great drill covering realistic shooting positions. Protimer’s add artificial stress and peer pressure. Especially when your do it with your Team or other shooters.
Pat is on my bucket list of Instructors to train with.
Good stuff Tim.
