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.
Drill #4 the moving drill
For this drill orange traffic cones are needed. Several targets are set up around the room creating a 360 degree shooting area. The targets are found in this thread http://www.rbta.net/forum/showthread.php?t=229 The orange cones are set up so that the officer must weave thru them causing them to move laterally, forwards, backwards, and diagonally. While moving thru the cones the officer must engage the targets with their airsoft. The targets can have the same type of markings as described in Drill #2. As the officer moves thru the cones he/she should end back where they started. Once they have completed that send them back thru going the opposite direction.
To make things more interesting have multiple officers go thru the drill so that officers must be aware of if they can shoot or not due to other officers being to close. To make things even more fun, make the environment a low light so that the officers must use their flashlights.
