We are just months away from implementing airsoft into our training. My proposal is to have 4 to 6 officers per training session once a month. Within a year every officer will have gone thru the training. The first years training will be shooting drills in the morning and then force on force scenario training in the afternoon. The following year, mix it up to something like traffic stops in the morning and building searches in the afternoon. This training WILL NOT take any time away from our current firearm training. Airsoft does not replace actually throwing lead down range. I plan on posting my drills on here for many reasons. I want people to pick it apart and show me flaws or what could be changed for the better.

The first drill is The El Presidente. Most should already be aware of this drill, it is one of my favorites. It was designed by Jeff Cooper back in the 70’s

The officer starts facing away from three targets (approx 10 yards away). The officer is in the surrender position with his hands at shoulder height. When the timer is sounded the officer turns draws and fires two rounds into each target. The officer then reloads and fires two more rounds into each target for a total of twelve rounds.

This is a good warm up drill to get the officers going in the morning. Every officer will have their best time written down. This will also be the last drill of the day to see if their time has bettered.
