Timing the Hits

This started with Ken Hackathorn. During one of his pistol classes, he demonstrated the time difference between two different engagements of two targets (VCAs). The IDPA targets were side by side and Ken had the following COFs. COF A: Target Y gets a double tap, then Z gets a double tap. Compared that to: COF B: Target Y gets a single, Z gets a double tap, then Y gets a second single. Which of the two scenarios gave Ken the best performance regarding time and power delivery? I have always thought practical or self-defense shooting was a thinking game. I'm 10 yards from the center target. Can I deactivate each shooter before they shoot me? I have the actual numbers somewhere in my notes, but I remember the time difference between the two courses of fire was measured in hundreds of seconds. Ken suggested that that tiny time difference makes no difference at all, and either approach works. To be clear from the start, Ken Hackathorn is a world-class shooter, an

Death at the Bell

First, let me say Taco Bell is entirely uninvolved. They were the stage Jason Scott Williams used to close out his life. The police are blameless. They did their jobs as best as they could. Megan Keleman did nothing to deserve this. In fact, some small amount of tragedy must be draped around Jason, the killer. Some blame belongs to the judges and DAs who kept allowing Williams to walk out of custody. They are the ones who need to be identified and charged with failing to protect the public. They should be made into an example. This is the Taco Bell at Graham Road and Hudson Drive but not on August 14th 2024. Graham is not visible, but at the bottom while Hudson is to the right. You can see the cars backed up at the order speaker. Your order is picked up around the corner. The grayish green lawns seem flat. They are not. Thanks to Google Images Short recap from the Akron Beacon Journal. Wednesday, August 14th, 2024, Megan pulled into a Taco Bell at t

Look What's Inside!

Most of us have wondered what’s in a round of ammunition. We visualize a gray colored powder, maybe little translucent disks speckled with black compressed by the copper bullet in a brass cylinder with the primer on the bottom. The chemistry is a mystery, as is much of the round. Some have even proposed there is a lawyer attached to each bullet leaving the barrel. Maybe there is. Some of us have manufactured bullet cross-sections to satisfy our curiosity. I have photos of a .45 ACP cross-section I use in my training classes to illuminate the mysterious round of ammo. Previously I looked at three different .223 bullets in cross-section to better understand them. My good friend Marty has taken it a step further and made a nice cross-section of a .50 BMG round, complete with inert powder. The maroon tip is a 1986 vintage 50BMG tracer. The other with it's gold tip is a mystery to me. The head stamp indicates it was made in 1942 at the Twine city plant.

Basics 15 : In Police Hands

I couldn’t watch NBC’s “The Thing About Pam.” I couldn’t believe the police would be that stupid, that a prosecutor and judge could be that corrupt, not for money, but for career promotion. Police arrive at your home in response to a phone call. Summary: Pam Hupp kills Elizabeth Faria for her insurance money and frames her husband, Russell. The lazy detectives op-out for the suspect with the highest likelihood, the husband, and ignore exculpable evidence by concocting fantasy conspiracies out of vapor. The prosecutor? Was she driven by a book deal that only she fantasized about? The judge, the high school buddy of prosecutor Leah Askey, had her back during the trial and guaranteed the conviction before the trial started. Surely this was a fantasy program written just for television! The lazy cops never check the validity of the evidence, just accepted Pam Hupp’s meandering and conflicting tales. Russell Faria didn’t do himself any favors. He attempted to work with th
