Hello everyone-
Soon, a group of friends will be heading out to Barstow BLM land primarily to do some Youtube videos (a project of mine) and just do some shooting in general.
While I am out there (about 2 hour drive from Long Beach), I want to maximize the oppportunity and make several videos.
The part I am requesting help on is coming-up with or using current proven combat scenario drills that I can incorporate into my videos. I am asking if anyone can advise certain drills that replicate combat scenarios as well as even training drills for rifle, pistol and shotguns Below are some facts that may help in your suggestions if you have any:
1.) Weapons that will be used: AR15, XD40, Ruger P345, Mossberg 500, Charles Daly pump.
2.) 4 x AR500 steel targets in silhouette cut. (2 medium size, 2 smaller size)
3.) We have no obstacles we can bring with us such as boxes, pallets or boards etc. Only potential obstacle or 'real life' object we will probably only have access to is a Toyota Tundra truck.
4.) Most people attending are firearms novices so dynamic movement whilst shooting will be kept to a minimum if at all. No more than 2 people will be shooting during the 'shoots' and in most cases, only one person will be 'engaging'the targets while the others do the camera work.
5.)I plan on using small orange cones when it comes time to do the more 'training' type videos.
Currently, I have come-up with the following scenarios in the video part that we will try to replicate as if we were real life operators/soldiers
1.) Anti-IED team: Engage 4 steel targets from roughly 200+ yards. Deploy cameras on gun, from above and cameras near the actual steel targets to show hits.
2.) Somali pirate hostage: Purchase balloons and tape them behind and to the side of the head section of the steel targets. Engage from 100-200 yards out and try to hit the balloons of course which represent the pirate heads. Cameras will be close to the targets to show whether we miss, hit the pirate or accidentally kill the hostage, lol.
3.) Breaking contact: Enage targets at close range with pistols, turn, run to a certain area,turn, engage with AR15, run back to truck, turn and use truck as a rest and continue shooting and get in truck for extraction.
4.) Breach and clear: Use our two pump 12 guages to rush into an area and obliterate a bunch of watermelons (Taliban watermelons) with bird shot. This scene may not look as impressive as we have no obstacles to represent a structure.
5.) Long range sniping: I recently purchased a Primary Arms 14x zoom scope which has not been zero'd yet but I am somewhat confident I can do it and if so, I plan on doing a short video on this and put the target out to about 300-400 yards.
As for the pistol/rifle/shotgun drills, well, we can free style it but if anyone has any cool ideas I can incorporate to the video for either the scenario videos or the drill videos, it would be greatly appreciated. I had one idea where we position the cones at various progressive distances and angles to a backdrop.Each cone represents a target further away so you run to each cone and engage the corresponding target so there will be a variation in range and angle.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or words of caution and wisdom.
