Stage 1:  QCB Exercise

String 1
T-1 and T-2 are at arms length.  On signal, engage T-1 from retention then step 
back and engage T-2.  As you engage T-2, T-3 and T-4 start coming towards you 
from 7 yards.  Get behind cover and engage T-3 and T-4.

String 2 (fast response variation) 
Repeat, but load four rounds only.  Reload as necessary (while running is ok, 
gun is empty, but don't stop).  I realize we don't carry only four rounds, but
this simulates running out of ammo without having to shoot 10 or 11 rounds.



Stage 2:  Hostage Situation
While you and your spouse are walking down the street, several armed men jump out.  
One man grabs your spouse, puts a knife to her throat, and demands your money or
they will kill her.  You have just spent all your money at the movie, so you feel
that you must stop them.  Engage T-1 (with no-shoot hostage target) at 2 yards or
so with a head-shot only (only the head is visible).  Then, engage T-2 and T-3 at
staggered distances to the left of T-1.  Be sure you have a head-shot on T-1 before
leaving it.  If you engage any other targets before getting a head-shot on T-1,
there is a failure to neutralize, plus a "hit to a non-threat" penalty because 
you missed and he killed your spouse.



Stage 3:  Convenience Store Holdup

String 1
While behind the counter (the ATM booth) at your part-time job, three men come in to
hold you up.  They demand the money in the safe or they will kill you.  You don't know
the combination to the safe, so they say they are going to kill you.  On signal, engage
T-1 (just on other side of booth, 1-2 feet away) from retention or step-back, then
around the side of T-1, engage T-2 and T-3.  T-2 and T-3 are at 7 yards, but both start
moving towards you as soon as you engage T-1.  There is a no-shoot customer target next
to T-3 and also one down one of the isles (15 yards or so downrange).

String 2
Repeat, T-2 and T-3 stop as you engage them, but after engaging last target, one of
them starts coming again.  Engage him with a head-shot, AFTER IT STARTS MOVING AGAIN.
