PHYSICAL RESPONSES • Increased Heart and Respiratory Rate • Chemical Cocktail • Pupil Dilation • Both Eyes CS0104
MENTAL RESPONSES • Tunnel Vision- extraneous visions • Tachypsychia- speed of the mind • Auditory Exclusion- extraneous sounds • Precognition- sixth sense • Cognitive Dissonance- confusing CS0104

WOUND PROFILE • Type, location, and amount of tissue disruption caused by a projectile is the critical information needed to evaluate its effect. • The “Wound Profile” illustrates this data. CS0104
MECHANISMS OF BALLISTIC INJURY • Permanent Cavity • bullet hole • Temporary Cavity • walls stretched • Sonic Pressure Wave • precedes bullet CS0104
APPLIED WOUND BALLISTICS Must consider the characteristics of the anatomic structures impacted. The effect produced by the stretch of temporary cavitations varies greatly with tissue flexibility, and anatomic location CS0104
APPLIED WOUNDBALLISTICS • Projectile striking bone Passage through the abdominal cavity Projectile passage through the chest CS0104
PAIR TO THE TORSO • Silhouette of a person from the head to the waist. • Kill zones represent the location of the vital organs. • Engagement - two shots to largest target area • Increases probability of a hit, amount of trauma and chance of a fatal shutdown. CS0104
TORSO TARGET AREA CS0104
TWO SHOT TECHNIQUE • Controlled Pairs • 15yds or Further • Acquire Flash Sight Picture for each shot • Hammered Pairs • 15yds or Closer • One Flash Sight Picture, Two shots CS0104
LIMITED TARGET EXPOSURE • Target exposed for a short period of time. • Target may be taking cover and only partially exposed. • Critical to eliminate the threat before ability to hide or better position. CS0104
RE-ASSESSMENT DRILL • It is used when the torso shots have failed to have the desired effect. • There may be numerous reasons why body shots may not have worked. • The reason that the body shots failed to work are not really important, what is important is your reaction. CS0104
FAILURE TO STOP DRILL • The shooter engages the target with a single well aimed shot to the soft tissue area of the head. CS0104
REPEATED PARIS • If the situation does not allow for a failure to stop shot than the shooter should continue to engage the largest target area of the body with pairs until the threat is eliminated. CS0104
MULTIPLE TARGET ENGAGEMENT • Prioritize the Target • Proximity • Threat • Opportunity • Examples CS0104
MULTIPLE TAREGET ENGAGMENT Engage the Threats • Most Threatening to Least Threatening • Engage all targets with a pair before re-assessment • Box Drill CS0104

FUNDAMENTALS • Grip • StrongHand • High with Trigger Finger Straight • NO death grip • Comfortable and natural • Weak Hand • Hand guard • Vertical pistol grip • Comfortable CS0104
Correct Sight Alignment Correct Sight Picture FUNDAMENTALS Trigger Control: Most Important Trigger Manipulation DO NOT Squeeze the trigger Sight Alignment: Relationship between front and rear sights CS0104
Large Rear Sight Aperture Large rear sight aperture should be placed up. Flash sight picture: Front sight breaks the line of sight between you and the threat. Sight Picture at short-range engagements CS0104
FUNDAMENTALS Aiming Point: At 3 meters the point of aim is slightly higher (approx. 2 inches) At 25 meters the point of aim is point of impact. At 50 meters the point of aim is slightly lower (approx. 2 inches) CS0104
FUNDAMENTALS Muscle Memory: Moving as comfortably and naturally as possible the same way every time. Allows you to engage threats quicker. Smooth is fast!!! CS0104
SHOOTING ON THE MOVE Combat Glide - Used inside the building Weapon at the ready, scanning for targets, “eyes, muzzle, target”. No different then when shooting from a stationary position.
