Classes

At Tactical Hyve, we encourage people to invest in quality training. It's great to have nice gear and guns, but if you cannot shoot well and are not prepared for a life-threatening encounter, all the money you've invested in products will be a waste of money.

There are so many tactical training classes out there, from basic pistol to long-range shooting, that it's difficult for people to know if a class and its instructors are worth the investment in time and money.

We will only highlight and review classes that we believe in and have gone through our vetting process.

😂 😂
During our trip to the Philippines, we trained wit During our trip to the Philippines, we trained with rising star shooter Bro Tecson, who is one of the best shooters in the Philippines.

During our training session, we were wondering why the country produces a lot of great shooters. Bro shared a number of different benefits to training at shooting ranges in the Philippines versus many other countries.

Not only do Filipinos train and practice a lot, but they can also train very efficiently because of their shooting ranges and the government's support.

Special thanks to Bro for creating this video with us! Make sure to give him a follow. He's most active on IG: @brotecson
AMBUSHED This was not a car-jacking attempt. The v AMBUSHED
This was not a car-jacking attempt. The victim was ambushed and the suspects look like they wanted his life.

Here, there is no deescalation or reasoning. One is instantly placed in a situation where he has to fight to survive.

Fortunately, he does, but after losing a lot of blood and now with 182 stitches. Not seen in this video, the victim’s mother runs outside from the house and the suspects run away.

Situations like this are difficult to handle especially when one is ambushed—in this case, by multiple threats with weapons.

Some things we can learn/consider from this video:

(1) Force multipliers. Having tools and knowing how to use them could definitely have helped here. 

(2) Stay in the vehicle. Lock the doors. Start the car and move. Everything we say here is easier said than done. If this is not a trained reaction, it may not happen in real-life. One can think about it and say they would do so all they want, but if they don’t practice it under stress, who knows what will happen. Here, the victim opens the door for some reason, yet we can see his headlights were already on, possibly signifying his was already in the process of starting his vehicle. We do not know if this is a nervous reaction, if the victim was thinking of going hands-on, etc. Perhaps he didn’t see the other two suspects and thought he could defend himself against one attacker.

(3) Something to think about—at times, if attackers are coming at you from one side of a vehicle, immediately exit on the opposite side and move. Similar to taking fire on one side of a vehicle. Often, it isn’t the best course of action to open the door on the side taking fire and exiting that way. Here, we can’t definitively say this would have worked, but it is another possible option.

(4) Once out of the vehicle and in the open, chaos ensues. Recall some of our previous posts. If you are being attacked by multiple attackers, do everything you can to stay off the ground and keep moving/fighting. Make no mistake, this was an extremely bad situation. Anyone who has no tools caught in the open by multiple attackers with weapons is going to be fighting for their life.

Thanks @farmertanterror for this.

BRIGHTER & BIGGER FRONT SIGHTS / RED DOTS If you'r BRIGHTER & BIGGER FRONT SIGHTS / RED DOTS
If you're in a fast, up-close situation where you have to use your firearm, it's unlikely that you will see a crystal clear front sight or your red dot as one does during traditional firearms training.

In fact, there is a good chance you don't see anything and rely on instinctive shooting/point shooting/natural point of aim.

Knowing this, to increase your chances of getting any/some kind of visual cue that you are on target before you take a shot is preferable. 

Using brighter and bigger front sights and red dots can potentially help provide you with more visual information before taking a shot in a life and death situation.

Check out our latest video on YT to hear more about the topic.
