Educational
Zone #61 - Thunder Ranch, Defensive Shotgun
Class - Page 3
Plenty
of time on the ground and firing around
barricades.
I got dirty. It was fun.
One
of the most fun drills was Rolling Thunder
(BTW, that's where Thunder Ranch got its
name).
On the Rolling Thunder Drill, 6 guys address
5 steel targets.
Shooter #1 fires at target #1. Then shooter
#2 shoots target #1. Then shooter 3, 4,
5, and 6. Six hollers, "Out!!"
Then shooter #1 shoots targets 1 and 2.
Then shooter #2 does the same, all the way
down the line.
Upon hearing #6 yell "Out!", shooter
#1 shoots 1, 2, and 3, and so on.
The problem is that you have to reload the
shotgun before it is your turn to shoot
again. And towards the end, you are shooting
5 or 6 shells at a time.
It is a fun, and loud, drill.
Here
I am shooting it with Buckshot (that's Buckshot
in the side saddle)
And
Heidi caught me making a lot of smoke in
the same drill.
And
here I am with sweet Heidi, a great gun
handler and a fine Christian lady.
Clint is a lucky man, just like me.
With
all that shooting and loading, here's my
left thumb by noon on the second day.
