Cpl. Confrontation
Newbie
Recently, our firearms instructor has begun timing everything on the range. Quals, cold starts, B8's and even shoothouse/room clearing stuff. (I say that loosely as our "shoothouse" resembles more of a competition stage with doorways.) Timing more scenario driven shooting has sort of rubbed me the wrong way as the timer is stressed and not necessarily proper tactics. I totally get using the shot timer as a tool to have quantifiable data on fundamentals, but am I wrong for being frustrated by the fact that this training (in my mind) compromises officer safety? Rather, DOES it compromise officer safety? Am I missing something?
Background: I'm a State registered armed security officer at a small university. I shoot around 3-400 a month through my duty weapon.
Training officer: Retired LE and current MIL, but rather old school in both mentality and teaching.
