Less DQ more pew pew

[Lowdown3]

I have the experience of interacting with thousands of like minded folks over the last 30 years via the business.

Watching folks on the range, at classes, etc. and summarizing from the WHAAAAmbulance replies any time someone mentions utilizing four or five thousand rounds a year in training/practice.

You can boil down the overriding problem with "preppers" like this-

Less DQ (Dairy Queen) and more pew pew (training).

Cut back on the calories and exercise more and get out and train/practice more.

Recently attended another FOF tactics class up at MVT. I noticed the oldest guy there was active in EVERY engagement and some of the younger ones were not active in almost all of the engagements. Why? The older dude was IN GOOD SHAPE. The younger ones- one was a smoker, I could smell that he had been in a particular position HOURS LATER when it was my turn to hold that position- were not in good shape.

"Cut back on the calories and exercise more and get out and train/practice more."
It's as simple as that. No need for super duper exercise program, just do it.

And a little "pew pew" goes a long way.

Yesterday afternoon drove over and spent only about an hour and a half at the range. You don't have to have a lot of time to make it count.

Did about 300 rounds practice with the Glocks and about 6 mags each with the AKs. 100 and 150 yards standing, kneeling and prone. Then some work around cover at 100 and 200 yards, alternating two rounds at 100 then two rounds at 200 using time as pressure.

What's interesting is that both of us have been working with the AR platform due to going to Max's for FOF Tactics again recently. So in our first AK mag change, I noticed my son grabbing it like an AR mag. I noticed I did the same thing also. That doesn't work very well with the AK mags due to the increased weight. Both of us re adjusted quickly on the mag.
