Sooting Team Report

Fobus / 5.11

 
Dave Stockman
Team Captain
 
Summer 2010
This year marks the start of the 5.11 Tactical and Fobus Holster Action Shooting Team. With an initial issue of uniforms, I traveled regionally to various matches in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York.
Action shooting events included International Defensive Pistol Association, Glock Shooting Sport Foundation and Police Pistol Combat Competition.
 
Team entrance was well received by both the host range officials and competitors. The Pocono Pistol Club and International Cartridge Company were especially grateful to have professional representation at their match. Competitor comments were also positive.
 
Honors include:
 
Match Winner, GSSF Indoor League, Summer 2010, Pocono Pistol Club
 
1st  Place Subcompact Division, Empire State Regional Classic XIII
 
3rd  Place Semiautomatic Division, International Lead-Free Championship Sniper Match
 
3rd  Place Subcompact Division, Keystone State Ballistic Challenge XIV
 
1st   Place Service Pistol Team, Lebanon Police Club Match
 
The shooting team will be divided into two squads. One squad is equipped and specializes in IDPA and USPSA. The other squad will focus on military, police and industry action shooting events.
We are currently in the process of embellishing the uniforms to better represent the sponsors.
 
Recommendations include adding logos to the cargo pocket flaps and shirt sleeves. Cold weather uniforms will be evaluated and requested.
 
Sponsorship from LaserMax is disappointing as they do not answer my calls or email. I recommend moving on seeking additional sponsorship from ammunition, optic and gun companies. Hornady, Trijicon and Kimber do not have teams and need to be approached at the next industry event. The Pocono Pistol Club was receptive to adding a Fobus Holster rack to the retail shop. Additionally, a buyer for Gander Mountain inquired about LaserMax products at a local Police Pistol Combat Competition, proving our team has more exposure than just the consumer level.
 
Respectfully submitted,
Dave Stockman

Shooting Team
FOBUS Range Day

On Saturday April 24th, First Samco/Fobus Holsters held an employee Range Day that allowed firsthand experience in both the usage of products offered and the safe and proper handling of the firearms for which the products were designed. As the hands-on experience of the attendees varied greatly, instruction in safety and weapons handling was provided by TECH OPS INTERNATIONAL. The day began with the obligatory safety instructions and basic introduction to the firearms that would utilized. Once the instructors from TECH OPS were satisfied that group had a working understanding of safety, the instruction proceeded to the handling and firing of handguns. A review of grip, stance, sight picture, as well as the draw presentation and holstering were included. This was followed by a live-fire segment during which the Instructors closely monitored, and coached, those with minimal experience. The afternoon segment was devoted to rifle/carbine introduction and handling. A demonstration of full-auto fire from a variety of familiar weapons was provided. Then an opportunity to fire those same weapons, as well as their semi-auto variations, was given to those that were in attendance. Needless to say, there was a constant rain of fired brass until the ammunition ran out. At the conclusion of the day it was evident that not only was everyone in agreement that the event was a success, but their understanding of how the products they offer, and employed by our customers, was greatly enhanced. Of course what wasn't immediately noticeable was that this day instilled proper firearms handling and safety in the minds of the group. This was accomplished in a painless and professional manner by the Instructors from TECH OPS that left everyone with one question... "When can we do this again?"
