SUMMARY:Vang Comp Thunderstick Summit 2024
DESCRIPTION:The most comprehensive and well-rounded defensive shotgun training experience….\n \nThe most comprehensive and well-rounded defensive shotgun training experience.\nFeaturing instructors from these world-class training outfits: \n\nHardwired Tactical Shooting\nActive Response Training\nSentinel Concepts\nAmerican Firearms Training and Tactics\nCougar Mountain Solutions\nSymtac Consulting\n\n\nHere’s a preview: \n\nRecoil mitigation techniques.\nEfficient weapon manipulations.\nAmmunition management.\nMovement\, Positional\, Judgmental shooting.\nLow Light and Less Lethal blocks optional.\nInstructor Q&A Panel.\nVendor Demos.\nFriendly Competition.\nAnd more!\n\n \n============================\nRegister for the 2nd Annual Vang Comp Thunderstick Summit! \nPrerequisite: None\nCost: $750\nAmmo: 500 birdshot (no steel shot)\, 50 buckshot\, 50 slug \nRecoil mitigation techniques.  Efficient weapon manipulations.  Ammunition management.  Movement\, Positional\, Judgmental shooting.\nOptional Low-Light and Less-Lethal training blocks. \nThunderstick Summit is a 3-day training event featuring some of the top defensive shotgun trainers in the world. It is expected to gather 100 shooters from across the USA.  Well-respected firearms trainers\, Darryl Bolke\, Greg Ellifritz\, Steve Fisher\, Mark Fricke\, Erick Gelhaus\, Rob Haught\, and Matt Haught – all specialists in the Art of the Shotgun – will showcase their unique perspectives\, philosophy\, and specialized exercises\, drills\, and accuracy evaluations tailored specifically for the contextual use of the Defensive Shotgun. \nSample a variety of condensed training blocks to improve your skillset while experiencing different curricula\, teaching styles\, personalities\, and focus areas from the cadre of instructors. \nIn 2022 we did a test run of this course in Dallas\, TX to an invite-only group of students and it was a huge success.  The only disappointment we heard was when they learned they would need to wait an entire year to do this again! \nWe followed up with Thunderstick Summit 2023 in Las Vegas and even though it was 90 degrees\, everyone learned something new in a safe and productive environment. \nParticipants will rotate between different ranges\, receiving lectures and demonstrations from each instructor. This round-robin format allows attendees to gain valuable insights and individual perspectives on the benefits and limitations of utilizing the fighting shotgun for self-defense purposes. \nThe training schedule for Day One\, Day Two\, and the initial portion of Day Three will be divided into four-hour training blocks. Following lunch on Day Three\, there will be live-fire demonstrations by manufacturers\, a friendly competition\, and a concluding Q&A discussion with the instructors. \nLunch: Will be available on-site or you can bring your own. \nTravel/Lodging: Fly into Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) where you can rent a car. We recommend booking a hotel in Lehi (closest)\, American Fork (middle)\, or Provo (furthest).  There are Airbnb’s closer to the range in the small communities of Eagle Mountain and Silverlake (as of 5/31/2024). The range is situated about a 40-minute drive from Lehi.

SUMMARY:PPS - RDS HANDGUN INSTRUCTOR WITH SAGE DYNAMICS
DESCRIPTION:The optic equipped handgun is not a new concept\, though in the last decade technology has improved to allow for the Miniature Red Dot Sight (MRDS) to be reliably mounted to handguns intended for duty and general self-defense carry.  With fundamental differences in techniques between the MRDS handgun and the rifle\, instruction on the MRDS handgun presents unique problems for the instructor when introducing their students to proper skill development with their duty or carry MRDS handgun. \nThe RDS Handgun Instructor course is a culmination of years of MRDS handgun skill and technique development\, made available to shortcut instructor trial/error on their own.  This course will provide the trainer with a comprehensive understanding of common MRDS operations and science\, as well as concepts and principles for teaching students to best use their MRDS duty or carry handgun.  Students will be expected to meet minimum marksmanship requirements in order to complete this course. \nInstruction includes:\n\n\nOptic science \n\n\nOptic selection and concerns \n\n\nAdministrative and SOP development for MRDS use (LE) \n\n\nDuty carry/CCW Carry \n\n\nCurriculum development for MRDS introduction training \n\n\nUnderstanding proprioception\, hand/eye coordination and engram development   \n\n\nFirearm fundamentals applied to the MRDS \n\n\nStress inoculation \n\n\nThreat anatomy \n\n\nDrawing from IWB/OWB \n\n\nTactical and emergency reloads \n\n\nAustere shooting positions \n\n\nMaximizing and recognizing adequate cover/concealment/deflection \n\n\nPrimary-hand-only weapon manipulation \n\n\nBasic movement \n\n\nOptic malfunctions/handgun malfunctions \n\n\nCourse cost: $600.00 \nPrerequisites: Dept/Agency/Unit Instructor position.  For non LE students in open enrollment courses\, proof of Instructor liability insurance may be required. \n-> REGISTER ON THE SAGE DYNAMICS WEBSITE HERE <-\nInstructor Bio:\nAaron began his career in the United States Army (11M) in 1999\, serving seven years in the infantry. During his time in the military he served as a rifleman\, squad automatic rifleman and designated marksman; receiving training in small unit tactics\, close quarters combat and ballistic and mechanical breaching. \nAfter leaving active duty\, Aaron worked as a private security contractor both CONUS and OCONUS; conducting convoy security\, close protection details\, static security and relief security during natural disasters. \nAaron served over ten years in law enforcement\, both Federal and state\, working both uniform and plain clothed assignments.  Aaron served as a SWAT/SRT member\, Sniper section member\, deputy SRT commander\, Field Training officer and training coordinator. \nIn 2011\, Aaron formed Sage Dynamics with the goal of maximizing training realism and developing more efficient problem solvers.  Aaron has trained thousands of students since Sage Dynamics taught its first course; every day citizens\, law enforcement and military.  Sage has aided in the development of policies and training practices in use by state and federal law enforcement\, and private security companies.  Aaron has also been instrumental in driving the adoption of red dot sights on handguns for duty use; He authored the first white paper on the subject and since its publication\, it has been used in whole or in part by over 300 police departments world wide to justify the adoption of RDS sights for duty handguns. \nAaron holds multiple certifications including:\n\n\nNational Rifle Association Law Enforcement Handgun Instructor \n\n\nNational Rifle Association Law Enforcement Shotgun Instructor \n\n\nNational Rifle Association Law Enforcement Patrol Rifle Instructor \n\n\nNational Rifle Association Law Enforcement Precision Rifle Instructor \n\n\nAdvanced law Enforcement Rapid Response Training Active Shooter Response Instructor \n\n\nGeneral Dynamics Simunition Scenario Instructor with Safety Officer Certification \n\n\nFabrique Nationale d’Herstal FN-303 Less Lethal Launcher Instructor \n\n\nCalifornia POST certified academy instructor \n\n\nAaron continues to serve in law enforcement in addition to being an instructor with Sage Dynamics.

SUMMARY:UDPL - Multigun
DESCRIPTION:Multigun is an exciting new type of shooting sport that uses a rifle\, shotgun and pistol on various courses of fire. UDPL hosts four Multigun matches a year and one state level match. \nDue to the higher level of complexity involved in Multigun matches we require that you shoot one of our UDPL/IDPA Handgun matches with us before trying your first Multigun match. \nGenerally there are around 5-6 stages at a match. \nMultigun letter from the Match Director\nTo help you be more familiar with the United Multi-Gun League (UML) which is part of the United Shooting Sports League (USSL)\, I have some links to the websites and the rules. \nThe USSL is a new program bringing some unity into the shooting sports. There are ranking and qualification programs if you become a member of USSL. You don’t have to be a member of USSL to participate in our matches. If you choose to join at ussleagues.com your qualification levels will be determined by match finish. This is a huge shift from other organizations that use standard classifiers that are usually very simplistic and takes one or more of our stages we could better enjoy as a complete stage. \nIf you only compete at a club level\, you will gain a club level qualification. If you go to larger matches you can earn qualifications for each of the 4 levels. There is also a ranking system that reflects what you put into the sport as a participant\, a RO\, a builder\, MD\, RM etc. Please look to the website for better explanations. The UML as we are applying it (EMG scoring) is a fast-paced exciting multi-gun experience. \nIn addition to the standard divisions we have always had\, we have some new enticing divisions. In the standard divisions you will use the guns the stage calls for in the order it states\, same as it has always been. For those that don’t care for the shotgun we have 2-gun division. As with all divisions we will use two guns on all stages. The 2 gunners will always use rifle/pistol\, you will figure out how to solve the stage. Two big rules apply to this\, you must engage at least 3 targets with each gun and never shoot steel inside 45 yards with a rifle. You will most likely have a completely different plan than standard divisions. Think of your pistol as your shotgun. Example would be if it calls for slugs your pistol bullets are your slugs\, birdshot steel is pistol. YOU NEVER shoot aerial targets with pistol. If we put aerials in the match we will have an alternate steel for pistol bullets clearly defined on the stage brief. \nThe next new exciting division is 2X4 division there is a tac and an open version. This completely new division is very popular. You bring all 4 guns a rifle\, pistol\, shotgun\, and PCC to all stages and choose which 2 you want to use to solve the stage. The same two big rules apply 3 targets minimum engaged\, and no steel under 45 yards with a rifle. This too might have a different plan than the standard division. \nThe last new division is PCC division. The plan is simple for this one\, shoot everything with your PCC as it is the only gun you will use. \nIn all divisions regarding firearm transitions flat surfaces (pickup tables) can never be used as a dump. All abandoned firearms will be put in a provided dump in a downward manner (dump barrel or MGM slant box) pick up tables and dump barrels cannot be used as a shooting support. In some cases\, a MGM slant box could be used as a support if appropriate. Another difference from other programs is changing firearms throughout the match. You can switch and swap firearms as you see fit. We do require any firearm you choose to use is compliant with the division you are in. That said the caliber for any gun cannot change. An example if you are in Tac division and started with 223 and come to a speed stage you cannot switch to PCC. You could shoot a PCC as your “rifle” in any division but the caliber would have to remain the same throughout the match. \nA short explanation of how scores are calculated. The thing to remember is it is not total time scoring like in the old format\, we use points scoring. The time spent shooting each stage is converted to points\, the points for each stage are then added up and the person with the most points wins. Each stage is assigned a point value\, that value is equal to the fastest time on the stage. This is called best time equals points. \nHere is an example\, the fastest person on stage 1 shot it in 23 seconds it would be assigned 23 points\, stage 3 best time was 67 seconds it would be worth 67 points. This way a stage that is long and difficult has a higher points awarded than a short fast stage. Each competitor is awarded points based on their score in relation to the best score on the stage. Example: best time on the stage is 50 seconds that person receives 100% of the 50 points\, someone else shoots it in 65 seconds which is 77% of the best time so we calculate his points like this\, 50 points X .77=38.5 points awarded to that competitor. Add the points (not the time) for all stages for the final results. \nThe top question asked is how can someone have a higher accumulated time and finish ahead of someone with a lower accumulated time? The answer is the points the competitor earned on each stage. Here is an example\, competitor one shoots really well on several stages and acquires close to top points available on the five stages\, so say on the last stage he had lots of troubles and gets low points. Now we add all the stages points together he might still finish higher. To make the math easy we will use six 50 second stages which would have 50 points each available to earn\, for a total of 300 points available. \nCompetitor one on Stage 1 shoots it in 53 seconds that is 94% of the best time so he earned 47 points. Say he did the same for the next 4 stages\, then on the last stage he has a gun malfunction and shoots it at 130 seconds for that stage. That is 38% and earns 19 points. So if you add up his total time shot it is 395 seconds (remember time is only used on each stage to calculate the points he earned\, total time does not apply) his points are 50+50+50+50+50+19= 269 match points. \nCompetitor two Stage 1 shoots it in 60 seconds which is 83% of the stage best so he earns 41.5 points. To make math easy let’s say he does the same for all 6 stages. His total time adds up to 360 seconds (remember total time does not apply) 41.5+41.5+41.5+41.5+41.5+ 41.5= 249 points Competitor one 269 points (395 seconds) Competitor two 249 points (360 seconds) so competitor one would place ahead of competitor two. \nFor more information on the different leagues\, visit the website that hosts UML \nCarey Palmer\nUDPL multi-gun MD\nUML district 2 brand ambassador\n\nUDPL Multigun Divisions and Rules\nCurrent as of March 1st 2020 \nFull details of the divisions and rules can be seen at the link.
