EMT-1:
Minimum persons: 1
Minimum gear: 1 small caliber rifle,
zeroed, iron sights.
100 rounds. One 30 round magazine.
Several small
blocks of wood.
You will need a fast-moving stream that will allow you to shoot into it. The
plan:
Load your weapon; safety on.
Go to the end of the available
stream/riverbank. Toss a wooden block into the water.
Take up a quick
shooting position and shoot 8-10 rounds rapidly. Stop firing, safety on; then
move rapidly 6-8 yards downstream. Repeat the 8-10 round volley.
Do this
once more, then grab your wood, if you can, and reload to start again!
After
a few trips downstream, you'll be knocking the #!*&^ out of it!!
Try it
with a handgun.
Move back, if possible, or float your wood on the far side.
Try an area with shrubs and trees to shoot around and through. Try taking a
prone defensive position at each stop, before firing.
EMT-2: Minimum persons: 2
Minimum gear: Same as EMT-1 (above)
You
will need a place to shoot.
The plan:
The first shooter stands ready to fire.
The target person
stands about 10 yards to the left or right of the shooter.
Target person
then throws a wooden block up about 20 feet and out in front of the shooter.
Shooter quickly aims and takes ONE shot at the wooden block while it is high
in the air!
Continue this process until the magazine is empty, then swap
out. Note: One person can both "throw AND shoot" by holding the rifle with one
hand (pointing up) and throwing with the other! Don't throw it too high at first
(8-12 feet). Go through the motions a few times without shooting; then go for
it! Throw the wooden blocks almost straight up. Keep at it for a couple hours.
You'll certainly improve your abilities!
EMT-3:
Minimum persons: 3
Minimum gear: The same rifle.
150
rounds each.
Three 30 round magazines.
30 clay pigeons each.
You
will need a place to shoot ( a trail is ideal).
Here's the plan: In this exercise, everyone is busy! One loads, one shoots,
and one works targets. The shooter stands facing the trail, which crosses about
10 yards in front of him. The target man sets up about 20 yards right or left,
down the trail. The reloader positions himself BEHIND the shooter. The target
man then ROLLS a clay pigeon down the trail , across the shooter's path
(practice a couple rolls as a dry run, first). Place a marker that the target
must pass before shooting begins (for safety reasons). Shoot until you hit it!
You will quickly adjust your aim, as the impact of your rounds will be obvious!
Don't be afraid to shoot 6-8 times at a target! The reloader must be reloading
quickly (good training) as you want to change mags fast and resume firing! As
soon as you're hitting EVERY target, swap out and get everyone up to speed. Roll
slowly at first, then pick up the pace until you can hit a pretty fast pigeon!!
Remember; A skill not practiced is lost...
EMT-4:
Minimum persons: 2
Minimum gear:Same as EMT-1 (above) plus:
100 feet of light cable or heavy wire.
1 small pulley.
Aball of twine.
5 targets each.
Some cardboard.
Here we go!
Mount the wire between 2 trees or poles, with one end higher
than the other (about 3-4 feet higher). The high end should be at 8-10 feet.
Stretch it tight! Attach the pulley to the wire and put a cardboard-mounted
target on it. Tie the twine to the pulley with a slip knot and run it around the
tree at the high end. Now you're ready! Shooter- get ready to shoot from about
20 yards. Target man- pull the target to the high end with the twine. Then,
standing BESIDE the shooter, YANK the string, releasing the target, and yell
FIRE! Shooter- EMPTY THE MAGAZINE!!
(Note: you may have to weight the target
or change the drop in your cable to get the desired speed...)
Do this twice
each, checking and changing the target, as needed. Then, move back to about 30
yards and go around again! You want to be able to put several rounds in the
target on each pass! That's it! Keep on practicing.
This one is fun with a
shotgun, too
