Tactical Weapon Drills 1-8

Here, you will find 8 shooting drills used by The Michigan Militia for training purposes. We
hope that these drills may help you gain a better degree of tactical proficiency with your
weapons. We have also included variations for these drills, as well as other ideas and
suggestions for interesting, practical firearms training. You should always follow a few basic
safety rules when on the range. Never point your weapon at anything that is not a designated
target. Load your weapons only on instruction from the RangeMaster or Designated Range
officer. Take all instructions from the RangeMaster or DRO. Do not EVER handle any weapon
while someone is downrange, or in front of you at all. Do not engage in horseplay on the
range. Finally, never, ever allow any alcohol, illegal drugs, or illegal weapons on any range, or
anywhere where firearms are being handled.

Also, as much as possible, have a designated Range Medic on hand at every training. Make
sure that he or she is properly equipped, and trained as much as possible. It is wise to have
someone at the range with a cell phone, in the event that you need to contact any Emergency
Medical Service. At least maintain radio contact with someone who has access to a phone.

Additionally, video taping your shooters is also a very effective way to examine techniques and
form. Be certain that your video camera is not in the line of fire. If you want, mount your
camera on a tripod, let it run (without an operator) , and view the film after each session.
Never allow a camera operator to be downrange while anyone is shooting.
