The Curved Blades

Pages : 360
Book Description
"Garden Steps" was one of the show-places of Merivale Park, Long Island. In summer it was an enchanting spot, and the dazzling white marble steps which led to the sunken gardens justified their right to give the place its name. Other stone steps gave on terraces and flower banks, others still led to the Italian landscape gardens, and a few rustic steps of a wooden stile transported one to an old-fashioned garden, whose larkspur and Canterbury bells were the finest of their sort. The house seemed an integral part of this setting. Its wide verandahs, or more often loggias, were so lavishly furnished with flowering plants, its windows so boxed with them, that the whole effect was that of a marvellously well-planned horticultural exhibition. But all this was of the summer. In winter-for it was an all-round-the-year home-only the varied and extraordinary collection of evergreens shared with the steps the honor of making picturesque and beautiful the view from the house windows.

Book Description
Who didn't enjoy the movie scene where Indiana Jones blasted a sword-wielding opponent with his six-shooter? If he's got a knife then just shoot him - right? Isn't that all there is to it? It always works (and looks) great in the movies, but what about in real life? What about the real-world officers both patrol and correctional as well as other operating professionals who really have been there and tried that and it didn't work? Why is the "21-foot Rule" such a critical factor and what can you do to beat the odds stacked against you? What if it really happened to you - how would you react? Sure, you may carry a gun, but are you truly prepared to beat a surprise edged weapon attack and walk away in one piece? What qualification drills can you run to test your skills? Join leading subject matter expert Steve Tarani as he guides you step-by-step through this easy-to-follow tutorial on how to defeat a "knife fight" with a firearm. Scope of study includes: Anatomy of a "Knife Fight", 28 real-world reasons why your gun may not be the first choice, utilizing the Two-second Rule, finding optimal Range and Position, defeating the Action-Reaction Power Curve, how to reduce Liability (personal injury) and Reactionary Gaps, utilizing the Second-hand Rule, shooting from Retention Position, transitions, critical on and off-range training drills, and most importantly - how to not fight but win with a gun.
