Southern Alberta Tavor Course: It's Happening!

[TV-PressPass]

I, for one, would like to know how a righty shoots an unmodified Tavor weak handed without getting hit in the face with brass and getting said brass flying back into the ejection port.

You know it would be great if the participants could get a break down of what we did. course outline or something. I know note taking was mentioned but at times I had trouble just standing up. LOL..... No Really I did!!!!!

We have a PDF for you Cam!

That is a little creepy.

That is a little creepy.

I thought the same thing!
Funny though!

Thanks again to Zahal, CSC, TVPP, and all the great people at the course. I've uploaded all of the Go Pro footage and sent it off to TVPP.

The heal bump technique for removing the mag is not an IDF practice. It's a civilian "look at what I just thought up" gimmick. Most shooters were using a mag couple. Single mag changes from a pouch.[/QUOTE]

One guy in the course had a scar on his hand from the heal bump technique and others mentioned it was easy to hurt your hand with it. It does not seem worth training.

[Speaking of press checks: Who does a press check after every time you re-insert a magazine?! Might as well do a press check after every round to make sure it successfully stripped the next round. I get doing a press check upon intial loading/charging sequence or after clearing a stoppage (especially if reusing the mag that initiated the stoppage) but after every mag is ridiculous and basically nullifies the need for a bolt hold open device since you will be required to pull on the charging handle anyways, and in my opinion put your rifle at risk of not having the bolt seat all the way back down after only letting it fly home...]

I think with a new mag they only press check if they are in cover and have the time to do so. When we did the fast reload drills I don't recall press checking. During the live fire for the stoppage drills we press checked because we had to move to cover but for the fast mag change drills I did not. (Or I was doing it wrong all weekend). Maybe Zahal.org can ask Lovie to clarify?

WOW I can't believe I missed this....

Yeah you could have learned how to take the rifle apart without breaking ####

Looks like you guys had a hell of a good time it's nice too see something different then the typical courses based around the ar.

Every reload or stoppage drill finished with a press check. I got told a couple of times. Just couldn't get it.
