We’re here to highlight what you should look for when deciding on what to bring with you to the range.

How To Utilize Range Barricades For Tactical Training Exercises

Range barricades will enhance your tactical training exercises significantly. They provide more realistic conditions much like what you would face in a situation where you must quickly take cover and fire a weapon. The effectiveness of range barricades depends heavily on how they are utilized in training. The key to training with barricades is to acknowledge all mistakes on the range rather than in the field where the consequences are much more costly. The position of your body in conjunction with the position of your weapon and points of contact are the most important factors to look over when using a barricade.

CQB: Using Ballistic Shields For Shoot House Training

Kontek’s Site Security Classes

A site security plan is necessary for organizations where criminal acts may occur. Whether it’s a pre-planned criminal act by an employee, a heated encounter between visitors, or a terrorist attack, site security ensures that people and equipment can stay safe until the dangers have been removed from the premises.

Its precautions not only take into account the structure of the facilities and the grounds, but also the individual likelihood of different threats befalling the site. From the least targeted to the most at-risk facilities, having a solid plan can help you keep everything under control even when your staff is in the midst of clear and present danger. We’ll look at how plans work and why site security classes can be the key to helping you implement them.

Ballistic shields come in several levels. Each level stops certain projectiles at certain speeds. Choosing the wrong level of protection means that someone could get severely injured or killed.
