Several weeks ago, I was signed up to take Mikey Hartman\u2019s instructor course in IDF (Israeli Defense Force) style combat shooting with rifle and handgun.\u00a0 Unfortunately, a member of my extended family came down seriously ill, and I had to bow out to be of assistance on that. Fortunately, our loved one recovered and is now OK, but I hated missing Hartman\u2019s class.<\/p>\n

Mikey Hartman is often described as the guru of IDF shooting techniques.\u00a0 I talking with him at length over the phone after missing the class, and it became clear that TODAY\u2019S combat doctrine for IDF is not what it was years ago, though some on the gun-related Internet might have you believe otherwise.<\/p>\n

For instance, except for the closest of close combat, Mikey tells me that the doctrine of Israeli combat shooting is definitely \u201caiming,\u201d not \u201cpointing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Below are links where you can read about the class that I (dammit!) had to miss:<\/p>\n
