THE ROTAC TRAINING GROUP

Basic Skill & SAFETY Class

2012-01-29T07:11:00.007-06:00

Ran another class yesterday at the DOUBLE ACTION SHOOTING RANGE, in Yeadon Pa. and again it was attended by a great group of individuals. I always like seeing young people who are interested in learning about firearms and firearms safety the right way. Not going by what they see and watch on TV and the movies. My hat goes off to their parents who are responsible individuals in making sure that their child is receiving the proper training and information regarding the responsibility and liabilities that go along with handling firearms. This is the the first and major step in educating young people about personal responsibility. My feelings are that this is what is missing from the equation, in parenting in today's society.

These folks that attended the class really seems to have understood the portion of the class that was devoted to the Fundamental of Shooting (the skill set that needs to be applied in order to effectively place their shot on target). Their were four people in the class so at the end of their practical portion of the class I decided to put a little pressure on them in a fun way. Each student received 5 rounds. Two received 5 rounds of 9mm and the other two received 5 rounds of 38 special. The guns being used were a Glock 19 and a Ruger GP 100. Both guns are exceptional firearms. The target was set up at a little less the 15 feet. The objective was to put each of their 5 rounds in the RED AREA of the B-27 target. Well the proof is refected on the target. They did FANTASTIC! I would say that the two shooters shooting the Glock had a little bit of an advantage over the two using the Ruger because of the differences of the TRIGGER PULL(Revolver vs. Semi Auto). They all agreed that because of the pressure that was put on them not to miss that the trigger felt like it was 100 lbs. Inspite of that they all did well. I want to say thanks to all of you. It was a pleasure working with you.

The next class will be held on Febuary 11, 2012 @ 11:00 am. Hope to see you!

HOLSTERS

2012-01-15T07:01:00.010-06:00

Anyone that has ever taken any of my firearms classes know how strongly I feel about purchasing the proper gun for the purpose that is to be used for. They also know that those feeling are equally shared for selecting a holster system which includes the belt. It is those three individual items that together combine to make-up the TOTAL PACKAGE. That being a system that will enable you to CONSISTENTLY & EFFICIENTLY present the gun on target within the time frame that it needs to be accomplished. Without elaborating too much, if you are not making your presentation and effectively putting at least one round within an 8" circle, that circle representing the high center mass on the human body, in 1.5 seconds or less at 5 yards than you need to figure out where your deficiencies are and how to correct them.

Now let's look at the real reason that I just ran my mouth. I again have been fortunate to have come across a very talented young man who makes a holster system that by today's standards is exceptional. Better yet, he is a local police officers and can get the product to you within a couple of weeks. This is an 8 gauge Kydex Holster that is both concealable and more importantly functional. Now if I got your attention how about this, they only cost $50.00. Other holsters of this type from various manufactures are priced out anywhere from $60.00 to $90.00. And you have to pay on average a $10.00 shipping and handling charge and wait generally 5 weeks to 4 months to get your holster. Now if this sounds to good to be true, well it is. So let's add an unconditional life time warranty. If you are interest in one or several let me know. I ordered three.

2012-01-15T06:37:00.004-06:00

Hey folks, ran a fantastic BASIC Skill & Safety Class yesterday. We had 13 very interested and eager students wanting to become more familiar with the safety aspects of dealing with firearms and a strong desire on how they can improve their gun handling skills. The course once again was held at the DOUBLE ACTION SHOOTING RANGE, in Yeadon, Pa. Just want to say to the folks that attended that you were a great group, and it was a pleasure working with you.

ALWAYS REMEMBER TO COVER YOUR SIX & STAY SAFE!

2012-01-08T05:39:00.004-06:00

Hey gang, the 2012 training season has begun. Held the first class of the 2012 Season, WOW 2012, THAT NOT SO LONG AGO SEEMED SO FAR AWAY, this past Saturday. It was held at the DOUBLE ACTION SHOOTING RANGE in Yeadon, Pa. It was a 4 hour block of instruction, which actually turned into a little over 5 hours, on intermediate firearms training. This is the course that I run for applicants that are looking to apply for their Florida N0n-Resident CCW License. I went over the time allocated for the training because the people that attended were so eager to learn and we also did their finger prints. The finger printing is not included in the price of the course, $20.00, but it was so convenient for the students that everyone had them done. All they had to do then was to fill out the application, put that, a copy of the training certificate that they received, and a money order in the envelope and mail it. I believe that the turn around time for getting the CCW Permit back from Florida is around 30 days. For information and to reserve a spot in future courses please call the range@ 610 626 2995 or go to their web site http://www.doubleaction.org/. I just want to say thank you to those that attended. You were a GREAT class and you made it a pleasure to present this material to you!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I found a few minutes to reflect on the the last two months. I think that I am a lucky guy, to have a wife that knows that after HER my PASSION in life is shooting and training. She never stands in my way when it comes to those two things. In fact she encourages me to find the time to do them. I was able to attend both the IALEFI Regional Training Conference held on October 26th & 27th. It was hosted by my former agency, New Jersey Division Fish & Wildlife, and held at our Training Facility in Jackson NJ. This was a two day workshop completely dedicated to Close-Quarter Combatives, both Firearms & Combat Folder Knife Techniques. Two weeks after that I was on my way to Ocean City, Md. to attend the IALEFI Master Instructor Training Conference hosted by the Ocean City, Md Police Dept. Both of these training events were outstanding and the classes were presented by some of the Highest Quality Law Enforcement Instructor's in the country. My hat goes off to Retired Captain Mike Boyle, (N.J.D.F.&W.) who was the lead instructor for both of these conferences.

Now, as this year quickly comes to an end it is time to start planning for next years Training.

Remember! That if involved in a critical life threatening encounter, "YOU WILL NOT RISE TO THE OCCASION, BUT REVERT BACK TO YOUR TRAINING"

HEY, FINALLY FOUND THE TIME TO POST SOME OF THE PICS FROM THE IALEFI (MASTER INSTRUCTOR TRAINING COURSE) THAT I ATTENDED THE WEEK OF NOVEMBER 6,2011. THE HOST AGENCY WAS THE OCEAN CITY, MD. POLICE DEPT. THEIR RANGE FACILITY IS OUTSTANDING AND YOU COULD NOT HAVE ORDERED BETTER WEATHER! THIS WAS A THREE DAY TRAINING EVENT. EACH DAY WAS RESERVED FOR ONE OF THE FOLLOWING; PISTOL, SHOTGUN, & RIFLE TRAINING. WE DID A LOT OF SHOOTING AND LEARNED A LOT OF TECHNIQUES, BUT THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE WAS MAKING AN ALREADY CERTIFIED L.E. INSTRUCTOR A BETTER INSTRUCTOR! IALEFI'S OBJECTIVE & MISSION IS TO CONTINUALLY INCREASE THE SKILLS OF THE INSTRUCTOR SO THAT HE/SHE CAN PASS THIS KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS ONTO THE OFFICERS THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR TRAINING, SO THAT THEY WILL PREVAIL IF THEY ARE INVOLVED IN A LIFE THREATENING CRITICAL ENCOUNTER.

BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM OF POSTING PICS ON THIS BLOG I WILL POST THEM RANDOMLY IN A FEW DIFFERENT POSTS.

Well folks in spite of the Hurricane we ran the Basic Handgun & Safety class yesterday at the DOUBLE ACTION SHOOTING RANGE, in Yeadon, Pa. The students there were eager to learn and demonstrated by there performance on the range that they were there for a purpose. This range is an excellent facility for training and shooting. It has 11 shooting positions and a full 25 yard back stop. Targets are adjustable from 1 yard all the way out to the 25 yard line. Plenty of parking too. This is a full service facility with a gun shop and a full variety of accessories and some of the most knowledgeable people in the area to help assist you with whatever you may need. The ROTAC TRAINING GROUP will be doing classes there on a regular basis. From the basic introduction to shooting classes up an including the more advanced Combat and Tactical Shooting classes and CCW Classes. For information go to the website, www.doubleaction.org or call 610-626-2995.

Remember to, TRAIN HARD/FIGHT EASY!

Mike Seeklander's Class 7-28-11 thru 7-30-11

2011-08-01T04:28:00.012-05:00

Well, the class finally took place and believe me, it was well worth the wait. This two and a halve day class was not only fun, but filled with an exceptional amount of information. Mike is not only an exceptional Trainer/Shooter, but a really good guy that is sincerely interested in his student's. It was extremely hot on the range, but the knowledge that was picked up was worth dealing with Mother Nature. If you are a serious competitive shooter that really wants to improve on your performance than this is the class that I would recommend.

I bet you never imagined that you could not only be attacked but killed and eaten by a monster fish ,( A KILLER WHALE) in just a couple of inches of water. This attack was so fast and deliberate that there is nothing in the world that could have prevented it. This poor guy was just in the wrong spot at the wrong time, MAY HE RIP!

A point to be made here is that there are PREDATORS out there humans and animals alike that will take advantage of the slightest weakness they can find in their victims and use that weakness to their advantage. In this case it was nothing more than an animal taking opportunity of an easy meal for herself and her calf. If you look carefully you can see that there was a smaller whale involved. Probably nothing more than mom teaching her offspring how to hunt. It just goes to show that "BAD THINGS" can happen anytime and any place!

A LITTLE PLINKING FUN!

Hey folks, back again. Hope you enjoyed last month’s article. I know a few of you probably disagreed with me, but that’s OK. You can always e-mail me, at rotac2@gmail.com and let me know what you think. Hopefully, I can learn something from what knowledge you may have.

This month, let’s talk about a really inexpensive way to have a lot of fun with either a handgun or a carbine/rifle. There are an unlimited number of models and styles to choose from. From price points that are very reasonable to the more expensive exotic models. Now, what do you think I am talking about? You guessed right, the 22 caliber handguns and rifles that are perfectly legal to own in our wonderful state of New Jersey. There are some restrictions, however, the number one being the magazine capacity which if you didn’t know would be any magazine capable of holding more that 15 rounds is not legal and can get you jammed up. Another would be any semi auto carbine/rifle that would have a flash suppressor, bayonet lug, & a collapsible stock. Pistol grip and detachable magazine are ok providing it doesn’t have any of the other four items. There are some really nice semi auto available, just be careful if you are entertaining the idea of purchasing one. Make sure that it is Jersey legal. Most manufacturers are very familiar with the restrictions New Jersey puts on some of the models they make and they do make the same models that replicate the original but are modified so that New Jersey residents can own them. If you legally purchase any firearm in New Jersey, you should not have any issues as to whether it is Jersey legal. However, if you purchase any firearm outside of New Jersey, say at a gun show, make sure you know what you are purchasing.

The 22 caliber firearm is a really fun and inexpensive way to keep up on your shooting skills. They are easy and fun to shoot, and even though the price of a brick of 22’s (500 rounds) has gone up, they still are a lot easier on your wallet than say 500 rounds of 9mm or 5.56 ammo. They are exceptionally accurate and they don’t fatigue you after a prolonged shooting session. I always recommend the 22 caliber when starting someone off that has never fired a firearm. Because of the fact that there is little to no recoil and the report of sound when you break a shot is not intimidating, it makes it a lot easier for a new shooter to concentrate on the most important elements in shooting accurately, sight alignment/sight picture, and proper trigger control.
If you are now thinking about going out and purchasing a 22 caliber handgun, there are a lot of models to choose from both in revolvers and semi autos. Don’t forget if you are new to the shooting sports; remember what I suggested in last month’s article regarding the ease of operation that comes with a revolver. If you already own a semi auto firearm, the great news is that there is a good number of outstanding 22 caliber conversions kit available for most of the popular semi auto’s out there; the better news is that you do not have to obtain a pistol purchase permit to buy one.

Folks, if you haven’t noticed I haven’t endorsed any one manufacturer or model and that’s because I have my own opinion of which ones I think are the best and the best value for your buck. All I can honestly say is that you should do your homework and get a few helpful suggestions from a good reputable gun dealer.

ALWAYS COVER YOUR 6 & STAY SAFE!

My first Published Article

2011-04-17T07:28:00.008-05:00

Been meaning to post this for awhile. It is an article that I had written for a magazine not to long ago.

I WILL BE PUBLISHING MONTHLY ARTICLES IN THIS MAGAZINE. SOME OF THE VIEW POINTS ARE MINE, BUT A LOT OF THE TRAINING ISSUES AND SUGGESTIONS ARE A WEALTH OF INFORMATION GATHERED OVER THE YEARS FROM SOME OF THE TOP LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINERS IN THE WORLD. I HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO HAVE BEEN TRAINED AND TO HAVE TRAINED WITH THESE EXCEPTIONALLY TALENTED INDIVIDUALS. I HAVE BEEN ASKED BY THE PUBISHER OF JERSEY SPORTING LIFE MAGAZINE TO WRITE AN ARTICLE ON WHAT I FEEL IS THE BEST HANDGUN FOR HOME DEFENSE. SO, LET’S GET STARTED BY FIRST SAYING THAT IF YOU ASK TEN DIFFERENT PEOPLE, YOU WILL GET TEN DIFFERENT ANSWERS. SINCE THIS IS MY ARTICLE, YOU ARE GOING TO GET MY OPINION. YOU MAY DISAGREE AND YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO. BUT, MAKE SURE YOU CAN BACK UP YOUR OPINION WITH FACTS. I HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRAIN A LOT OF PEOPLE FROM THE NOVICE TO VERY EXPERIENCED AND HAVE LEARNED A LOT FROM ALL OF THEM. UNLESS YOU ARE A VERY EXPERIENCED OPERATOR OR GUN HANDLER, MY EXPERIENCE IN TRAINING INDIVIDUALS WOULD LEAD ME TO SUGGEST THE 3” OR 4” BARREL, SIX SHOT REVOLVER. NOW, I KNOW SOME OF YOU ARE GOING BALLISTIC. REVOLVER!, THAT’S AN OUTDATED PIECE OF EQUIPMENT. REALLY! LET ME EXPLAIN WHERE I AM COMING FROM. THOSE OF YOU WHO KNOW ME KNOW THAT I AM NOT A GADGET GUY AND I FAVOR SIMPLE FUNCTIONAL SOLUTIONS IN SOLVING PROBLEMS THAT WORK QUICKLY AND EFFECTIVELY. WHEN DEALING WITH FIREARMS, THERE IS NOTHING SIMPLER THAN A WHEELGUN. IT IS EASY TO LOAD AS WELL AS UNLOAD. IT HAS A BUILT-IN SAFETY, WHICH IS THAT LONG HEAVY TRIGGER PULL, YOU REALLY NEED TO PRESS THROUGH IT TO MAKE THE GUN GO BANG. IF YOU PRESS THE TRIGGER AND YOU GET A CLICK, ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS PRESS IT AGAIN AND THAT SHOULD RESOLVE THE PROBLEM OF THE GUN NOT FIRING. THEY ARE AVAILABLE IN MOST OF THE MORE FORMIDABLE HANDGUN CALIBERS. THAT ALL SEEMS TO FIT INTO MY WORLD WHERE THE NUMBER 1 RULE IS THE KISS RULE (KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID). THE SMALLER FIVE SHOT 2” BARREL REVOLVERS ARE NICE, ESPECIALLY FOR CONCEALED CARRY, BUT THEY ARE NOT AS EASY TO SHOOT AS THE LARGER 3’ OR 4” COMBAT REVOLVERS ESPECIALLY WITH THE HEAVIER 38 SPECIAL LOADS OR MORE POTENT 357 MAG. LOADS. FOR PRACTICE PURPOSES, IT’S A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO PRACTICE WITH YOUR GUN WHEN YOUR HAND IS FEELING AS IF SOMEOME SMACKED IT WITH A HAMMER AFTER YOU HAVE ONLY JUST FIRED A FEW ROUNDS. THE 5 SHOT 2” REVOLVERS ARE FOR EXPERIENCED GUN HANDLERSESPECIALLY THE AIRLITE’S. IF YOU ARE GOING TO OWN A HANDGUN FOR HOME DEFENSE, YOU BETTER PLAN ON PRACTICING A LOT SO THAT YOU BECOME PROFICIENT WITH IT. PURCHASING AND OWNING ANY TYPE OF FIREARM FOR SELF-DEFENSE IS A REALLY LARGE RESPONSIBILTY TO TAKE ON. WE WILL TALK ABOUT THAT IN FUTURE ARTICLES. WELL, THAT’S MY OPINION AND I GAVE YOU SOME FACTS TO BACK IT UP. THE CHOICE IS YOURS, BUT REMEMBER WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE, MAKE SURE YOU GET SOME GOOD TRAINING FROM AN EXPERIENCED CERTIFIED FIREARMS INSTRUCTOR.

ALWAYS COVER YOUR 6 & STAY SAFE!

If you missed this, you missed a GREAT day of training. The weather was beautiful and the participant was very happy with the training he received and the way it was presented and taught. He was amazed to find out how his efficiency of movement would equate into winning a gunfight. It's a shame that most people that carry a gun for self defense really done know how much time "THEY DON'T HAVE" to get that gun into play. That fact is that as little as quarter of a second can make the difference between PREVAILING or DYING!

Florida Non-Resident CCW Class, April 16,2011

2011-03-19T05:36:00.026-05:00

This class will cover a wide variety of information. This is not the class to take if you are just starting out and learning how to use a handgun for self defense! You will probably need to take a beginner class. or maybe a couple, so that you at least have some working knowledge of the Manual of Arms for your particular handgun and a basic skill set under your belt. This is also not the class to take if all you are interested in, is protection of self and family in your residence. That is another class that is full of information which would include the use of a Shotgun or Rifle in your home.

Now, let's get into the nitty gritty of what this class is about. If you think that it is just about making you a gunslinger than you are way off base. This class will provide the information and knowledge that will allow you to TRAIN with a PURPOSE rather than just wasting time and money just punching little holes in a piece of paper. It will introduce you to the skills that will give you the ADVANTAGE that you will need if you ever find yourself in that CRITICAL INCIDENT you allowed yourself to be involved in. You will get a lot of trigger time with this class but, this is only for the purpose of initiating that burning process of marrying your Neurological to Physiological systems, (REPETITIONS). You may define this any way you like, but what it boils down to is CONDITIONING!

This class will provide you with information regarding the responsibilities associated with firearm ownership and more importantly with carrying a handgun for self defense. You will learn the DO'S & DON'T that you must be aware of when you are armed. It will provide you with information regarding when DEADLY FORCE can be used, and only when it can be used!

You will need 350 rounds of ammunition, and all of the gear that was mentioned in the previous post.
Price; $200.00....7 Hour Course

Folks unlike some schools and instructors, the ROTAC TRAINING GROUP will not sign off on any type of CCW Permit, nor any Certificate of Training unless the individual has at least shown at a minimum the Maturity, Knowledge, and Skills that go along with being an ARMED CITIZEN!

You will be provided with the complete Florida CCW Permit Package, as well a Certificate of Completion, PROVIDING YOU PASS THE CLASS CRITERIA, at the end of the day. This information and a check in the amount of; approximately $120.00 will need to be sent to the Florida Department of Agriculture for processing of the CCW Permit. Once approved it is valid for 7 years and is recognized in approximately 30 states.

E-mail me and I will forward the application for this class as well as the Defensive Handgun 1 & 2 if you are interested in either, (rotac2@gmail.com). Fill it out and send back to: Domenick J. Rocco Sr. with the deposit.

RED SIRT PISTOL

CLEAR COAT SIRT PISTOL

If you are a serious shooter, you know for a fact how important dry fire practice is. TRIGGER CONTROL is one of the two most important factors of effectively and accurately placing your shots on target. Dry fire practice enables you to focus your complete attention on smoothly pressing the trigger to the rear without letting your FRONT SIGHT,(the second of the two factors), move off

of the center mass of whatever your intended target/threat is. Proper trigger manipulation is nothing more than: 1.Taking the slack out of the trigger, right up to the point where the trigger if pressed, any further back will break the shot; 2.Continue to press the trigger straight back,smoothly, until the shot breaks; 3. Resetting the trigger,by not taking your finger off the trigger, and moving it forward to that same point to where your trigger was when you initially took up the slack, and then pressing again to break the next shot if needed. I always tell my students that the trigger finger has to operate independent of all other aspects of firing the gun.

The drill should go like this; Slack, Press, Reset, Press, Reset, Press, and continue until you have fired the desired amount of rounds. This should be done at a pace that is ROBOTICLY SLOW! and increased gradually until you are doing this without having to think about it. Once you have reached this point to where you are systematically resetting the trigger, then the drill should be stepped up to where you are telling yourself; FRONT SIGHT, PRESS each time you SMOOTHLY PRESS the trigger to the rear.

Now in the past unless you had a pistol that fires in the double action mode, for instance, a Sig P229 you would have had to rack the slide in order for you to be able to do this drill, like with any of the Glock pistols.

Now, thanks to a company named; NextLevel Training, you can purchase an exceptional training tool. The SIRT (SHOT INDICATING RESETTING TRIGGER) pistol. This tool will allow you to practice SAFELY anywhere at any time and give you the advantage of being able to completely focus on those two most important shooting fundamentals, FRONT SIGHT PLACEMENT AND TRIGGER CONTROL!

With the cost of ammo today it can become very expensive to get in enough practice to keep your skill level up. As with most sports, you have to practice and practice if you want to stay at the top of your game. Again, now you have a tool available that once purchased will give you hours and hours of valuable training time. Based on the cost of 50 rounds of 9mm, @ approx. $10.00 -$12.00, the SIRT PISTOL WILL HAVE PAID FOR ITSELF ON THAT 1,500 TRIGGER PRESS especially, when you figure in the cost of going to and from the range, gasoline, targets, and range fees.

Proper trigger manipulation, or any other skill for that matter, can only be perfected by continuous repetitions of doing it the correct way. This is known as conditioning in the training world. It's not so much muscle memory, but a marriage between the physiological and neurological systems. It takes approximately 3,000 repetitions just to learn a skill, and about 10,000 repetitions to burn it into your subconscious (YOUR MID BRAIN) so that your performing it without even thinking about it. This is where the saying "DON'T JUST TRAIN UNTIL YOU GET IT RIGHT! TRAIN SO THAT YOU CAN'T GET IT WRONG" comes from.

Well, now you are probably a little interested as to where you can go to get more information and just how much it will cost to purchase a SIRT PISTOL. That's the easy part. THE ROTAC TRAINING GROUP has just become an authorized Rep/Distributor for NextLevel Training products. You can contact me either by phone (215)416-0750 or e-mail; rotac2@gmail.com. THESE PISTOLS, AS WELL AS ANY OTHER PRODUCTS, CAN ONLY BE ORDERED THRU AN AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTOR WHO HAS TO SUPPLY YOU WITH AN AUTHORIZATION NUMBER.

Hey everyone, Just finished up with two days of some exceptional training at the IALEFI (INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT FIREARMS INSTRUCTORS) RTC (REGIONAL TRAINING CONFERENCE) held at the NEW JERSEY FISH & WILDLIFE FIREARMS TRAINING CENTER, in Jackson, NJ. The training was done by some of the top trainer in the country, Mike Boyle, Dave Spaulding, Pat Sacco, & Rich Verdi. A lot of trigger time and some excellent information given by,Mike Shovel (Ballistic Gelatin testing for smaller defensive handguns, and Hugo Harmatz, Esq. Concealed carry liability. As always everyone had a fantastic time! These conferences are given to keep Firearms Instructor on the cutting edge and at the top of the curve, so that they can continually keep their people sharp and out of harms way. As it was said many time Law Enforcement and Military Trainers truly do GOD'S WORK!

ALWAYS TRAIN HARD/FIGHT EASY!

Always remember the sacrifices they have made, are now making, and will always continue to make! The VETERANS of this country do what most won't do, and a lot of times it cost them their lives. These are BRAVE men & women that do not hesitate to go into harms way to protect our LIBERTIES & FREEDOM. PLEASE SAY A PRAYER FOR THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES ON THE VETERANS DAY, 11 11 2010

NEVER FORGET! OR FORGIVE!!!!!!!!!!

2010-09-11T07:30:00.003-05:00

THIS WAS THE WORST UNPRECEDENTED ATTACK IN OUR COUNTRY'S HISTORY. PEARL HARBOR WAS REALLY BAD, BUT IT WAS AGAINST A MILITARY INSTALLATION. THIS ATTACK WAS AGAINST INCIDENT MEN WOMEN AND CHILDREN AND OUR WAY OF LIFE. THIS ATTACK CHANGED THE WAY WE LIVE,FOREVER! WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO HUNT DOWN AND KILL EVERYONE OF THOSE SLIMY COWARD'S AND ALL THAT FOLLOW THEIR DOCTRINES. PLEASE SAY A PRAYER FOR ALL THAT WERE LOST THAT DAY! CONTINUE TO SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, AN LAW ENFORCEMENT PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN AND ARE WORKING SO DILIGENTLY IN ORDER TO PREVENT ANY FUTURE ATTACKS.

CROCTH SALUTE

2010-07-03T06:12:00.004-05:00

AGAIN OUR WONDERFUL COMMANDER & CHIEF OUT DOES HIMSELF! WE REALLY WENT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL TO GET THIS ONE. THIS MAN SHOULD NOT ONLY BE THROWN OUT OF OFFICE, BUT THROWN OUT OF OUR COUNTRY. THIS OCCURRED AT A MEMORIAL SERVICE AT FORT HOOD. I KNOW HE DOESN'T HAVE A COVER ON, SO A SALUTE WOULD NOT BE APPROPRIATE, BUT HOW ABOUT PLACING YOUR RIGHT HAND OVER YOUR HEART! AND TO THINK THAT HE IS SUPPOSE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL OUR TROOPS THAT ARE ENGAGED IN CONFLICTS ALL OVER THE WORLD. BREAKS MY HEART AND MAKES ME SICK!

FUNNY! YOU'LL LOVE THIS!

2010-07-03T05:58:00.004-05:00

A FRIEND SENT THIS TO ME VIA E-MAIL. I THOUGHT I WOULD PASS IT ALONG. I THINK EVERONE COULD USE A GOOD LAUGH.

Happy July 4th Everyone

2010-07-01T16:40:00.004-05:00

LET'S NOT FORGET WHAT THIS HOLIDAY IS ALL ABOUT! THIS COUNTRY FIGHTING & WINNING IT'S FREEDOM FROM A REPRESSIVE OUT OF CONTROL GOVERNMENT. THEY SAY HISTORY ALWAYS REPEATS ITSELF. IT SURE SEEMS LIKE WE ARE COMING AROUND FULL CIRCLE AGAIN. IF YOU LOVE THIS COUNTRY AND ENJOY THE FREEDOMS THAT IT OFFERS YOU BETTER BE PREPARED TO STAND TOGETHER AND FIGHT. I'M NOT SPEAKING OF VIOLENCE, I TALKING ABOUT VOTING THE BUMBS THAT WE HAVE REPRESENTING US OUT OF OFFICE. THERE IS AN OUT OF CONTROL FACTOR IN THIS COUNTRY AND AROUND THE WORLD THAT WOULD LIKE NOTHING MORE THAN TO DESTROY EVERYTHING THAT THIS COUNTRY HAS STOOD FOR AND MADE IT GREAT! GOD BLESS AMERICA!

NICE SHOOTING CARBINE

2010-06-06T06:41:00.004-05:00

I PURCHASE THIS SWEET LITTLE CARBINE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND FINALLY HAD THE TIME TO TAKE IT THE RANGE AND REALLY SEE WHAT THIS PUP COULD DO. TO SAY THE LEAST I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED! IN FACT I WAS IMPRESSED. THIS LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE H&K MP-5 ASSAULT SUB GUN, AND FUNCTIONS EXACTLY THE SAME. THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE MP-5 IS A 9MM, SELECT FIRE WEAPON AND THIS IS A, SEMI AUTO 22 CAL. LONG RIFLE VERSION. THIS CARBINE IS MADE IN GERMANY BY A COMPANY NAMED, GERMAN SPORTING ARMS, AND THE MODEL IS THE GSG-5. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY WELL MADE HIGH QUAILITY LEAD EJECTOR. THERE IS A LOT I CAN SAY ABOUT THIS WEAPON BUT I AM NOT GETTING PAID TO DO A REVIEW, SO I WILL KEEP IT SHORT AND SWEET. FROM A SEATED SUPPORT POSITION I WAS ABLE TO CONSISTENTLY PLACE SOLID HITS ON A 3" X 5" STEEL PLATE @ 50 YARDS USING THE WEAPONS IRON SIGHT SYSTEM. AMMUNITION USED WAS THE CCI 4O GR. MINI MAG SOLID TIP. THERE WERE NO MALFUNCTIONS AND I RAN OVER 100 ROUNDS THROUGH THIS WEAPON. I LOVE THE FACT THAT I CAN NOW TAKE A CARBINE RIFLE TO THE RANGE WITH ME AND SHOOT A COUPLE OF HUNDRED ROUND WITHOUT IT COSTING ME A FORTUNE. UNLIKE MY M-4 VERSION CARBINE, IN 5.56 I CAN GET AMMO AT A REASONABLE PRICE, AND CONTINUE TO KEEP MY SKILL LEVEL UP.

I ALSO LIKE THE FACT THAT I CAN PUT A 22 CAL .CONVERSION ON ANY ONE OF MY GLOCKS OR 1911 PISTOLS AND REALLY DO SOME SERIOUS TACTICAL TRAINING DRILLS USING A TWO WEAPON SYSTEM, WITHOUT HAVING TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME AT THE RELOADING BENCH. HELL FOR UNDER $30.00 BUCKS I CAN GO TO THE RANGE AND SHOOT 500 TO 600 ROUNDS.

I AM THINKING ABOUT RUNNING A TWO GUN MATCH USING 22 CAL. WEAPONS IN THE NEAR FUTURE. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED LET ME KNOW.

MEMORIAL DAY

2010-05-31T06:29:00.005-05:00

LET US NOT FORGET WHAT THIS HOLIDAY ACTUALLY REPRESENTS. IT'S A TRIBUTE TO ALL THE MEN & WOMEN WHO SERVE AND HAVE SERVED IN OUR ARMED FORCES, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE FOUGHT AND HAVE GIVEN THEIR LIVES IN ALL OF OUR PAST AND PRESENT WARS, TO PRESERVE OURS RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS. FREEDOM AND THE RIGHT TO LIVE YOUR LIFE AS YOU WOULD LIKE DOES NOT NOT COME CHEAP! SO MUCH BLOOD HAS BEEN SPILLED SO THAT WE CAN LIVE IN THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. MAY THEY ALL R.I.P. AND LET US NEVER FORGET THE SACRIFICES THOSE INDIVIDUAL HAVE MADE. IF GOD WAS TO REWARD ANYONE WITH ANYTHING THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE PROBABLY AT THE TOP OF HIS LIST. PLEASE SAY A PRAYER FOR ALL OF OUR SOLDIERS THAT ARE PRESENTLY ENGAGED IN CONFLICTS ALL OVER THE WORLD.

IN MEMORY OF MY DAD, JOHN ROCCO, WWII COMBAT VET!

PRETTY DISGUSTING WHEN OUR SO CALLED COMMANDER & CHIEF, AND THE FIRST LADY DON'T KNOW WHAT HAND YOU SHOULD BRING TO YOUR CHEST WHEN PAYING TRIBUTE TO OUR COUNTRY. YOU WOULD THINK THAT THERE WOULD BE AT LEAST A 50 / 50 CHANCE, ONE OF THEM WOULD GET IT RIGHT! I DON'T THINK IT IS IGNORANCE, I THINK THAT IT IS JUST A BLATANT DISPLAY OF DISRESPECT FOR OUR COUNTRY. WE HAVE HIT THE BOTH OF THE OCEAN, WHERE ALL YOU CAN FIND IS WHALE SHIT AND OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS .

ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! VERY RELIABLE SOURCES HAVE POSITIVELY ID'D A REAL & AUTHENTIC EWOK. THE SOURCES SAID THAT THE SIGHTING IS SEEN EVER DAY IN THE EGG HARBOR TWP, NJ AREA. IT WAS SAID THAT IT IS FREQUENTLY SEEN COMING & GOING INTO THE FAA TECH CTR. IN PAMONIA, NJ. MOST OF THE TIME AT THE TECH CTR. HE ACCOMPANIED BY A SHORT FAT FAM. THEY SAY THAT THEY SEEM TO BE JOINED AT THE HIP. BUT OTHER SOURCES SAY THAT THERE JUST HOLDING HANDS. THIS IS SAID TO BE NOT AN USUAL SITUATION BECAUSE THERE IS COMFORT IN BEING CLOSE TO SOMEONE THAT IS AS VERTICALLY CHALLENGED AS YOURSELF.

SOURCES SAY THAT THEY ARE NOT DANGEROUS. TO USE A QUOTE "THEY ARE LEGENDS IN THEIR OWN MINDS". STAY TUNED IN, BECAUSE THERE ARE DEFINITELY GOING TO BE MORE UPDATES.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? DID THIS OFFICER DO A LITTLE TOO MUCH TALKING. I BELIEVE SO. ONCE THE GUN WAS ID'ED, DROP THE GUN SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE COMMAND, MAYBE TWICE. DEPENDING ON THE DIRECTION THAT THE MUZZLE OF THE GUN STARTED TO HEAD. AFTER TWO COMMANDS THIS GUY WOULD HAVE BEEN JELLO!!!!!

Very good Article. If you carry a gun either for work or for personal protection you need to be proficient with it. Especially up close, and within that CRITICAL confrontational zone, (THAT SEVEN YARD AREA).

Like I mentioned before in a prior post, you really need to pay attention to your surroundings and what's going on around you. I use to train Federal Contract, Armed, Security Officer. I use to run a scenario on what would your responds be if someone came through the door and start shooting, exactly what happened AT THE COURT HOUSE IN LAS VEGAS. A lot of these officers thought that this would never happen. Oh well brother, you better wake up. Times are getting worse for a lot of people. Because of that people are going to start doing a lot of irrational and violent things. Make sure the you keep on your toes and your guard up. Maintain that condition of professional paranoia, that mental state of condition YELLOW.

PLEASE, say a prayer for those two officers and their families. This is a terrible way to start off the new year.

ALWAYS COVER YOUR 6 AND STAY SAFE!

Food For Thought

2009-12-12T15:11:00.011-06:00

Hello everyone, haven't had to much time to sit down and post anything. We had some pretty horrendous events happen in the past few weeks. The Ft. Hood incident, and then the killing of the four police officers in Washington State. There have been 15 police officer killed in multiple attacks in 2009. It goes without saying but we live in a really screwed up world. Now I know why I keep myself in the condition yellow state of mind,(Professional Paranoia). Things happen so so fast today, that if you are not in any type of awareness level other the white, then you are really putting yourself at a really bad disadvantage point. Your Mindset is what is probably going to keep you alive should you find yourself in that spontaneous VCI, (Violent Critical Incident). So how do you prepare yourself for that day that you never expect to happen? This is where it starts. always expect the unexpected to happen. To use a quote from one of my all time favorite movies, Ronin, "When in Doubt, There is No Doubt".

First you should always be aware of where you are and who is around you. Make that conscience effort to check and look at your surroundings. Sounds like the familiar Quote, "Look Before You Leap". When something just doesn't look right AVOID IT! WE ALL HAVE THAT SIXTH SENSE. You know when the hairs behind your neck stand up. There is a reason for that . It's your personal radar, telling you that something is just not right. So iF you have the opportunity, GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE! The worst thing about getting yourself into a confrontation is that you cannot predict the out come. That means you can LOSE. I can probably talk about this all day but I won't. The important thing is to have some type of preplan and some form of basic survival training. Nothing that is so elaborate that your Conscience mind, (fore brain) has to take that unnecessary time to analyze. But something that your Sub-Conscience mind, (mid brain) will render instantly to help you protect yourself.

ROTAC TRAINING ACADEMY, offers classes in both Firearms and Defense Tactics, techniques. We will only provide training that is Realistic & Relevant for our students.

We offer instruction for all levels, from beginner to experience operators. The most important ingredient is you. You must be serious about the training you want.

"TRAIN LIKE YOU FIGHT. FIGHT LIKE YOU TRAIN"
