[QUOTE="hd_rider13, post: 822609, member: 8030"] Thanks for all the proffessional feedback. I keep having to remind myself (as one of my peers at work did this morning) that the civilian shooting world is totally different than the military shooting world, especially during a time when we are at war. My buddy reminded me that we train with weapons at the modified low ready, muzzle down in a safe direction, and self clearing becuase in combat, there are no safeties, there's no "down range" and bullets that go up, have to come down because that's how we fight. The difference at a civilian event is that the endstate is everyone leaving safely and have no negligent discharges. While we have the same endstate, we also are charged with producing effective combat soldiers that know how to think about what they are doing when they have a hot weapon in their hand, not just follow the range boss. At some ranges, we have even begun to carry a hot weapon until you actually leave the firing line. We have manuever live fire ranges where students are banging around the woods with hot weapons and shooting live ammo. To some it sounds unsafe, but I'm not willing to drop someone into a combat zone unless they know the intricacies of how to properly handle, shoot, and conduct maintenance on their weapon. Sorry if I ruffled feathers; that was the farthest from my intentions. I'll see you guys there.....can't wait!!!! [/QUOTE]
