EDIP

• Weapons instruction taught EDIP:• (E) Explain - Instructor explains procedure.• (D) Demonstrate – Instructor demonstrates

procedure.• (I) Imitate – Students mirror instructor as

each step is demonstrated.• (P) Practice – Students practice procedures

under instructor’s direction and supervision.

• EDIP suited to procedural skills like weapons handling, reloads, etc.

Dry Practice Skills Part 1
