Jake 98c/11b,
My department serves 1 boro (urban) with approx 2000 residents. We also serve two townships (rural) with a combined population of approx 12,500 people. 25 square miles total. Our Carbine training consists of shooting rounds at B27 targets. 25 rounds are used. 4 rounds at 100 yards, 4 rounds at 50 yards, 8 rounds at 25 yards, and the remaining at 10 yards. Each "station" is timed. We have to shoot from different
stances (i.e. sitting, standing, kneeling, etc...). We also practice "shoot/don't shoot situationals, with life size targets. Officers must score at least 84/100, to qualify. If you have any suggestions for further traing, you may E-mail the information. Our Firearms instructor was just recently certified and only requires the "basics." I still like the "red Dot" optics, but they may be impracticle for what the weapons are being used for. Thanks for your reply!!!
