Range Time!

BANG BANG! The times out on the range are AWESOME! We have been going to the range now for about five weeks. Most of us have come a long way from day one...including myself. I would not by any means consider myself to be a recreational shooter before the academy. I have shot a few guns in my time but nothing near the repetition and skills that are learned while up on the range! TRIGGER PRESS!! (learn it and know it!)

Deputy Ackerman and the other specialists are doing an AWESOME job at honing all of our skills. We are being taught to deal with different scenarios and decision making tactics that are to be made within a seconds time. The range is fun, but along with the fun comes the reality of why we are up there practicing. We have to have the mindset, that everyday we put on our uniforms that we could essentially be going to battle. This training is helping us achieve that mindset.

I have taken a few pictures while we are out at the range (next post)... hope you enjoy them!
