HUMBOLDT — This is part eight of a 14-part series following Nina Froggatte’s journey through police training at the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center, Hutchinson.
Although the official test is May 30, last week Nina Froggatte’s practice scores in using both a pistol and a shotgun were right on target.
“I did it really well so that made me happy,” she said.
From standing up with her arms extended outward to kneeling down, she had to shoot from varying distances. Excellence depended on both speed and accuracy. She discovered, to her surprise, a preference for shooting a shotgun over a handgun.
“I actually do better at 25 yards with my left hand and at 25 yards in general than I do at 15,” she said, attributing it to the greater time allowed to focus.
On Friday, she will study fingerprinting technique.
