Would be nice to see some CQB matches and differing courses of fire since every range and other target parameters may be vastly different. One works with what they have got. Also all of the locations have dedicated and very experienced shooters!
We (myself and Timk) are here to get you started if that is of any assistance, then once you bounce the ideas off our heads, you can modify them to suit your needs:
* target prep
* fast or slow scoring procedures
* target availability (supplies)
* distances (10, 15, 20, 25, 35 etc) shot?
* squadding of shooters into relays
* courses of fire
* objectives achieved (or to be achieved, ex. mag changes)
* round count(s)
* transition to secondary ( and necessary safety parameters)
* safety drills, clearing drills
* statistics (Excel programming, which many of you can already do)
* rapid registration
* zeroing practice before the match
* walk through- talk through procedures
* range commands
* whistles to start the shooting bout?
Loads and loads of things to think about.....
I can add more as I think of them.. but understand that all of these factors will determine the course of fire and SOP's you will be running and abiding by. Either way, safety (needless to say) will determine the decisions you make along the journey of running CQB matches. BTDT.
We have gone through a steep learning curve over the past 2 seasons here at Base Borden, Langemark Range. It's been a super journey!
Merry Chrismukkah to all!
