Cognitive Shout out to this young man. This shooter is heading places! We take each others magazines and load dummy rounds or empty casings forcing unexpected malfunctions to occur in our guns. Shooters need to clear, the malfunctions all while trying to remember which targets to engage, remembering to turn off the flashlight when clearing malfunctions and reloading while simultaneously moving off the X all after getting our heart rates elevated to 90% of our max elevated heart rate. Scan assess reholster. No misses allowed.

Change angles to safely shoot designated targets without over penetrating into another target.

Red may be written in green, blue may be written in red. Sometimes we shoot the word, sometimes we shoot the color. Targets are also randomly numbered and sometimes we will call out a math problem, shoot the solution on demand.

Why would we do this?

1- Malfunctions can and will occur I don't care what kind of gun it is.

2- Drive home checking what's behind and around your target before you begin shooting it.

3- After a physical confrontation, after running to someone's aid, now your fatigued out of breath and the fights just getting started. Learn ti manage your breathing and stay calm under stress.

4- Bright light in face, we all know how much sucks, taking away natural night adopted vision forces the shooter to over come light with light and adds a layer of stress, frustration and makes it more difficult to see.

5- Forcing the shooter to remember which target are we shooting? Colors? Words? calculating arythmatic and shooting the solution? Why? It forces the shooter to focus on task processising and that takes the focus off the fundamentals of marksmanship, we are driving the fundamentals of marksmanship into the subconscious.
