It NEVER gets old
It’s really the smaller classes that provide so much value - both to the students and for me as a teacher. The opportunity to so intimately dissect each students’ shooting tendencies, learning style, and obtain feedback in real time is SO GOOD. Thank you to John, Johnny, and Adrian for giving @CloakandDagger_Solutions the chance to impart a little knowledge to each of you in becoming more proficient pistol shooters and ultimately, better defenders.
Without going on with an unnecessarily long caption… it’s humbling to see how many folks not only come to me for help but more so what kind of people are seeking to better themselves. It’s not always who you think it would be - at least my crowd isn’t. It’s the quiet, the meek, the humble, and the courageous I’ve been seeing and training with, and that is absolutely the type of people I believe the Lord has called me to teach.
If you, your friends, or somebody you love is looking for no BS training in the north DFW area, or even if you’re not in Texas, hit up my website at CloakandDagger.Solutions and peruse my course offerings. I’m heading all over the USA in 2024!

Accountability.
Welcome to the Range Report! I wanted to start posting something a little more frequent, that would allow me to keep track of my progress and keep me accountable with my ammo use and time (most important). To maximize efficiency at the range, I’ve been prepping the week prior with a SINGLE core principle of shooting that I want to improve, and I dry fire around that, INTENTIONALLY.
After a week of priming myself to practice what I’ve been doing dry, I’ll use my weekly range day to experiment and see if what I’ve been trying will yield the results I desire, live. If it works, then I’ll continue pounding in those findings until they’re habit. If it doesn’t work, I’ll pivot. The whole point is to obtain actionable data.
I also thought this would be a great way to share some drills and ideas for y’all to incorporate in your own range days (IF you want).
This is Range Report #1 and this week's focus was doubles at distance. My support hand pressure, or my deficiency in that department, became obvious to me here. I hope you enjoy watching me both fail and win in this new series 💪🏻

Hard Skills.
Shoutout to @ravenwinglimited for hosting and also their podcast episode where @sm_edc77 @ethan_fleitas and @mo_aks_n_chevrolets talk about mastering hard skills (just knowing how to shoot) prior to a tactics class. When your brain is being flooded with all this new circumstantial knowledge of what to do and then, what’s acceptable cover, awkward shooting positions, new safe handling protocols - you don’t have the mental bandwidth to figure out how to shoot. The shooting aspect must be AUTOMATIC. .
VCQB by @centrifugetraining @centrifuge_bryan was direct proof that hard skills and fundamentals of shooting must be locked down PRIOR to learning tactics, otherwise safety and efficient knowledge retention can both be compromised (ask me how I know).
Despite this being my first tactics class, I found myself excelling since hitting the target efficiently, safely, and consistently was almost second nature. I simply had one job: to tactically position my body and then business as usual.
Takeaways:
Conform to cover
Movement is life
Gun out before seat belt off
Muzzle control vs muzzle awareness
Temple index is hot
Doors are not cover
Stack pillars
If you want to know what all that means, lock down your fundamentals and hit up @centrifuge_bryan - he’ll get you squared away.
