Combined Skills Day 1

I think the day overall was pretty good. The weather didn't cooperate and we had some people who seemed a bit rusty out of the gate which held up the class a little bit.

So, it ended up that we didn't shoot as much as I hoped. I think I only shot 200 rounds today. I hope we get a chance to shoot a lot more tomorrow.

My EMP functioned pretty much flawlessly. I say "pretty much" because a couple of times the partially empty magazines didn't drop free during reloads. The magazines were falling in mud though, so I do think that was a contributing factor.

My shooting was good, not flawless, but I felt good about it nonetheless. The practice really made a difference as compared to the last class I took "cold".

Southnarc's stuff was pretty foreign to me. I learned a lot, but it's not the kind of thing you can do for a few hours in a classroom and be competent at. (Or at least I can't.)

I'm still having problems with something as seemingly simple as the "fence". It sounds real easy. Keep your hands here, but when someone is coming at you, your natural reaction is to extend those arms.
