A.C.I. Scenario Clinics Part 1

#A.C.I. Clinics# Hey everybody, we're excited to be so close to our first part of our Scenario Clinic Series. The date for the first event is March 21st and it's at Sniperz Den Paintball Park in St. Paul, OR www.sniperzden.com for directions. Our first clinic will be an introductory to the series, we'll go over A.C.I. team practice drills. These are drills that we do at every one of our practices to warm up and improve individual gun skills and movement skills. Be at the field by 8:30 am, clinic will start at 9:00 am. Cost is $65 for Pre-Reg, register by the 14th of March, and $75 CASH at the field. This includes Paint, Air, Field Fee, and all day instruction. Payment can be made via Paypal to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) The drills we'll go over are; **Snap Shooting Drills** **Patrol Snap Shooting** - This drill helps you establish muscle memory drawing your gun from a patrol carry to snap shooting an enemy ambush. **Rolling Snap Shoot** - This is the snap shooting method perfected by the Russian Legion. As opposed to sliding your body out to snap shoot, this method utilizes your core to roll a smaller portion of your body for the shot. This reduces the amount of target you offer your opponent when snapping at him, and also provides a more stable platform for more accurate shots at your opponent. **Snap Shooting Skills Trial and Assessment** - This will be a fun little competition to give you the opportunity to employ the new skills you just learned, and to get some "one on one" attention if you need help with anything we covered. **Awareness Drills** **Dodge Ball** - This is one of our favorite drills. It's exactly like it sounds, two guys square off and take turns shooting at each other and dodging the shots. This drill will give you more confidence in your ability to kill them before they kill you. **Stop the Capture** - This is a capture the flag drill where you are the defender. Your job is to keep Two Unarmed A.C.I. members from capturing a flag. This will help you learn to target a moving target, and also keep your awareness high when you are out numbered. **Top Gun** - This is another fun drill. You'll be put up against a fellow clinic participant and play a quick game of one on one. The purpose is to improve your field awareness both in offensive settings and defensive. First one hit loses. Time permitting we'll play out a mini tournament for bragging rights. **Movement Drills** **Sliding** - This drill is to help you learn how to properly carry your marker when running and sliding, both right hand and left. Purpose is run, slide/turn, acquire target and eliminate target, repeat until all targets have been eliminated. Helps with shooting while experiencing shortness of breath, increased heart rate, and increased adrenaline. **Bunker Clearing** - In this drill, there will be several targets behind bunkers on a play field. You mission is to move one by one, bunker to bunker and eliminate all the targets. Some targets will be right hand shooting, some left hand. To make it more exciting, there will be an A.C.I. member snap shooting at you while you are in a bunker. They will not shoot when you are in the open. Eliminate Targets ASAP. **Breach The Building** - In this drill, there will be an A.C.I. member in the tower. You will be paired with another clinic participant. Your objective will be to take turns moving, and suppressing the A.C.I. member until one of you touch the building. This drill is to help promote communication and cooperation between firing team members. **Team Drills** **Capture The Flag** - There will be two A.C.I. members in the tower, you will be paired with two other clinic participants. One person will be your shooter and your call person, he'll call out who can move, where, and when. Two of you will be unarmed runners. Your job is to communicate to your shooter and your team mate until one of you capture the flag on the field. Everybody will get a chance to be a runner and a shooter. **Two on Two** - This is a battle buddy based drill. We'll start two on two, in an urban setting. Straight elimination, you're hit, your out. This is to employ skills you've been learning, i.e snap shooting, communicating, moving, etc. You will have coaching, and critiques from A.C.I. members shadowing you. **Four on Four** - Same as above, only in a full four man firing team. Positions will be assigned to players, i.e. light gunner, heavy gunner, commander, etc. You will be shadowed by A.C.I. members and critiqued. **Open Discussion** We'll have an open discussion about everything and anything you want. Time permitting, we'll have open play to burn up what's left of our paint and practice our new found skills.
