462, good training, but apparently didn't go very far or deep. All VN pix that I have seen
show proud soldiers with fingers on the trigger, like Korea and WW2.
I am sure some trainers had figured this out earlier, but in IPSC starting mid 70s you were
risking DQ if you were on the trigger during movement or during a reload. The standard Range
Officer call was a LOUD "FINGER" if it was not certain but looked like it, and the second time, or
if it was really blatant.....they were DQd as soon as they had unloaded and shown an
empty chamber, and reholstered.
That will impress it on you, for sure.
It is very good to see the upgrade in military firearms training that has happened in the
last 30-40 years. It was good before, but even better now.
And IME, the level of training in safety for civilians is a good bit higher, too. Guys like
Ben passing it along early are important. I have taught a number of kids and they all
learned this way, too. More grand nieces and nephews coming up, and I hope to teach
them. Started one, he is up to .22 rifles and pistols, and a younger one started
with the air rifle in March. Will see if I can work with them in a couple of weeks
again.
