PBI TACTICAL FIELD TRAINING

Under qualified ex military personnel

Maybe you should re-phrase that?

I'm going to barge to the front of the queue for this like any good German, providing the dates work.

I'll firm up a date for this shortly, it should be a good day. We'll be using this as the basis for further training, so consider this the foundation stone for more advanced and interesting training in the future.

Although we are covering some sniper techniques, you won't need a scoped rifle (although feel free to use one). It will all be hands on stuff, with mostly practical work. We'll try to keep the boring "classroom" stuff to a minimum.

I have two sets of webbing, one pair of denim BD trousers and one denison smock (tall medium build to fit) and one pair of anklets and helmet as loan items on a bend it mend it basis for any American or german players who want to attend.

PM Sgt Heide for booking in if you're non PBI.

I'm up for this, subject to what date it is.

Interested in this, subject to date.

Would need to borrow some trousers, helmet and webbing and will need to scratch around for a bolt action (does it have to be a No 4?).

Check with Sgt Heide but it just has to be a airsoft rifle capable of engaging targets accurately at range as far as im aware.

Definitely a bolt action (or something like an M1 carbine), as we'll be zeroing at 30 metres and then moving targets back to 50 metres plus and AEG's just don't shoot that far (unless they're hot!). Doesn't matter what type of bolt action, as long as it's a WW2 one.

Count me in Gadge

No.4 and M1a1/m1 Carbine if anybody needs to borrow

I'm interested but would ned to know a date or range of dates.

Hilton Park, handy for the services then?

We've used it for a but of SS training before. While elements of the site have some paintballyness to them, the ground itself it generally very good for manouvre

I'm interested subject to date.

No date is yet set in stone and there's never a day to suit everyone. Other possibles are 22nd August (although this is the first day of Ramadan, so may clash for some), or the 5th or 6th of September. As I said, I actually need to speak to the owners and tie them to a date. Ideally, a date when there are as few paintballers there as possible.

I'll do this if the date is good.

Ok, I've finally managed to tie down a date. It's set for Sunday 6th September at Hilton Park. At the moment, we will have the place to ourselves. If, all of a sudden, loads of paintballers book in, the date may have to change, as we need a bit of room to move.

The cost is £20. £10 will be payable in advance via paypal to Gadge (we'll organise this over the coming days) and the balance of £10 is payable on the day. We'll start a seperate booking thread soon as well.

I've finalised what we'll cover on the day and this is it.

1) Rifle zeroing and marksmanship, including firing positions.
2)Transition to sidearm and pistol shooting. (For those MED moments!).
3)Judging distance.
4)Camouflage & concealment, including a mini exercise.
5)Observation.
6)Movement & stalking.
7)A stalking exercise/shoot to bring it all together.

It will be quite a long day of training/sneaking about, so be prepared! The vast majority will be practical, hands on stuff, so expect to get a bit dirty in the process. If there's any time left at the end, I'll try to cover the locating and construction of a hide/o.p as well.

Well the date counts me out of this one I'm afraid. I'm committed both days to being at the Victory Show.

Which gives me an idea... why not make a weekend of it? Come along to the Victory Show on the Saturday, see the massive number of re-enactment displays, the huge battle and browse the militaria fair to get new stuff ready to get it all dirty at the training on the Sunday.

If you do this, make sure you come along and say hello on The Far Setting Sun display. We were round the back of the pond last time and I assume will be there again this year.

We're off on a horse riding do that weekend so unless you're after a pair of dragoons I'm afraid we're out.

If you're short on brits I'd love to come along if I can borrow some kit. I can put the training into practice as a VC sniper the following weekend. I'll let any PBI members get booked on first though as I don't want to deprive any of them.

4 more spaces left guys. Axis players are more than welcome, you don't have to have Brit kit.
