I briefly attended firearms training a couple weeks ago. It took place at the EPS indoor range with half of the class. The other half were in class at Griesbach.
The recruits had a couple weeks away from firearms, so I think they were anxious to test their skills.
The day started with their qualification, which is the annual firearms test that members must take and pass.
From there, they went on to work on a variety of skills including distance, manipulation, reactionary targets, speed, and modified light conditions.
It is so interesting to watch the various feelings members have when in firearms training.
