#Training

This past spring, I was invited to a training facility in Florida for a two-day set of courses. The Faculty was called W.O.F.T., which W.O.F.T. stands for “Where Our Families Train,” after looking over their website, I attended one of their courses. Over the course of this three-part series I’ve shared my experience and thoughts on W.O.F.T’s approach. I recommend reading Part 1 and Part 2 before continuing with this article.

This past spring, I was invited to a training facility in Florida for a two-day set of courses. The Faculty was called W.O.F.T. The acronym W.O.F.T. stands for “Where Our Families Train,” it's a facility that provides situational training for all manner of real world situations for people of all backgrounds including the elderly and families. This is Part 2 of a 3-part piece I have written about my time there. I highly recommend reading part 1 before continuing with this article, I explain W.O.F.T’s approach and what the two-day course covers.

This past spring, I was invited to a training facility in Florida for a two-day set of courses. The Faculty was called W.O.F.T. and while I thought the name sounded a little funny, I looked into them and soon realized how unique this place looked to be. W.O.F.T. stands for “Where Our Families Train,” and after looking over their website, I agreed to visit their facility.

The Civilian Marksmanship Program offers screaming deals on used, refurbished Daisy 853 competition air rifles. They are only $140 shipped! So I decided to pick one up for positional shooting practice in my basement during the highpower rifle winter off-season. Is this a worthwhile purchase for you too? Maybe, maybe not. Hopefully, this review will help you sort that out.

Now who here doesn’t love an Uzi on full automatic? No less than four spent cartridges in the air at the same time is great for TFB’s Photo Of The Day. These images are from the Air Force Special Operations Command Service Member of the Year competition, where nominees are required to shoot over 10 different types of foreign weapons at multiple targets at varying distances. Can I become a nominee too, please?

If you shoot, you need to practice shooting, whether you’re a wing shooter, a rifle shooter or a pistoleer. But practice time is hard to get in, if you don’t live close to a shooting facility. And ammunition is expensive. That’s where the new Competition Ultimate Practice Shooting System comes in—it lets you practice your wing shooting (well actually, your clay shooting) indoors, miles away from a skeet range, and without firing a shot.

Photo Of The Day is the best online place to view the coolest images of firearms and soldiers. Here we have a Green Beret with the 2nd Battalion, 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne), pulling security during a joint raid training operation alongside the U.S. Coast Guard Maritime Security Response Team (East) at Fort Campbell, 2024.
