Everyone always thinks they have enough...

But you probably do not.

This training drill:


Led to this video:


2000 round per person for a 5-day training course. Some went through more than 3000.

These skills are perishable, so you need to train occasionally. Expect 2000 per year. If SHTF, all bets are off.

Never enough if you train properly.
There is my problem. Do not get to train enough.

Glad Homesteader ordered another 1000 rounds the other day.

No group buy?

I have a magazine group buy going that I will post tomorrow.

TP and I have been trying to do a group buy since Christmas 2013. Time to do it now. We will need to discuss soon.

you can use anyone of these methods to train i have ar15 paintball guns M5 air soft guns. You could use these tools for training tatically with your group. the real bullets for markmanship. this would save alot of money especially if you are tight on finances.

Paintball is a great idea. We use to play every Sunday after work.
Great practice, great exercise, great fun.
Of course that was back when all they had were the green pistols.

yeah they have some pretty cool stuff now in the paint ball field land mines rocket launchers sniper rifles. I think its a great way to train if ever one of your members got a ar style paintball gun you guys could get some great foot work in and not waist real ammo. hell if the world was fair none of us would have to worry about ammo.

Look what I found. Oh man this looks fun.

OK, so how much is ammo for paintball, what does this kit cost, is the paint water soluble?

I would like to train, even in my ao, but not if the paint doesn't wash off.

If it washes off, will it still do so on the next rain, even if it's a month off? I don't want to see colors all over my woods.

Check out Academy's website and put paintball in the search bar.
The paintballs we used to use were water based.

thanks TP, will do

Great videos, and weirdly reminiscent of the British Army... we used to get in big trouble for leaving magazines around. Easy to do though, when the heat's up. (I remember shamefacedly from decades ago...)
