Combat Patrol 18-20 Jan 2014 AAR #6 – Eddie

AAR: Patrol Class, Jan 18-20, 2014, Eddie Everyone else has covered the class in very well written AAR’s. I’m going to say that Max outdid himself on this one. If you’ve been to CRCD and were impressed… then hurry up and lock in your spot for the next Patrol class!! To the other 8 and […]

Follow Up: Long Range Shooters – by Misfit

Misfit follows up with more excellent information and detail on the Squad Designated Marksman (SDM). I was disappointed at some of the response to his previous guest post ‘Long Range Shooters‘, because it seems some are determined to take it down the caliber debate rabbit hole. Let me be clear on that: It’s OK to […]

Update: Patriot Dawn: Sequel in Progress

As you may be aware if you follow the blog, I have gone full time with the MVT training business. With the effort and time invested at the training site, improving it and getting it ready for the Combat Patrol Class, I have got somewhat behind on writing the sequel to ‘Patriot Dawn: The Resistance […]

Class Availability

The Feb 22-23 CRCD class is one of those that seems to have fallen in the cracks a little. I have classes filling up on both sides, but not this one. I hope to be able to run it , and not cancel it. I really need a minimum of eight in order for everyone […]

Shattering Conventional CQB Dogma

I came across the following video on YouTube. I found it very interesting. It is discussing the ‘fatal funnel fallacy’ and I find it very refreshing that some are starting to question the ‘conventional wisdom’ of CQB. I have written about this often in the past and have often criticized what I term ‘SWAT Style’ […]

I have written of my first exposure to training with Max Velocity in a piece I titled “Walking in a Winter Wonderland.” That December 2013 class was a lot of fun […]

Guest Article: Long Range Shooters – by ‘Misfit’

MV: The author of this article, Misfit, has the professional background to inform/instruct on this  subject matter. Trust me. ———- In regards to the great article (Guest Article: ‘Where do long range shooters fit in FreeFor SUT?’ by Skittles) I have few things to put out there. Designated Marksman (DM): Based off of my experience I […]

Debate: The Handgun as the Primary Weapon

I found a link to this blog post at Practical Eschatology via a post on Facebook (H/T Greg Ellifritz). While I agree with what the article is saying in terms of general ‘myth busting’, there is one part with which I disagree (my comments in bold): MYTH #4: YOUR PRIMARY WEAPON IS YOUR RIFLE. There […]

Hobo Vehicle Armor

This morning I was reading a piece by Selko (H/T WRSA) and in the article he was talking about hobo vehicle armor. Here is the quote: “When he came to pick me up I noticed that rear lights on his car were smashed, broken. And inside car he had some kind of steel plates with […]

Combat Patrol 18-20 Jan 2014 AAR # 4 – ‘John P. Jones’

The Patrol Class is the most recent evolution in the training offered by Max Velocity. Completion of a Combat Rifle/Contact Drill is a requirement for attendance. That being said, you really must attend one of Max’s Patrol classes. I don’t mean to overstate, but it was some of the most effective tactical training I have […]
