I can compress my shots to a degree. I am usually firing with more deliberate shot placement.<br /><br />I took a class from a local instructor last year. The targets consisted of two steel "bobber" targets on spring steel. They bounced around when hit. That class was the only time I've drawn a pistol with live ammo in it and fired and did so on a timer.<br /><br />I've faced knives before, unarmed.<br /><br />One of the instructors I'm working with has a FATS simulator and another holds a few course a year of Air Soft powered Force on Force. I'll be putting a priority on training with these men (both instructors are former LE).Hyunchbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12707065285415144698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133253.post-25075958102308954252007-01-21T11:20:00.000-07:002007-01-21T11:20:00.000-07:00All that's truly necessary is to learn how to call...All that's truly necessary is to learn how to call upon your own concentration fugue. The bang-bang-bang'ers are admittedly impressive when faced with nothing more dangerous than a paper cut from stapling up a target, but learning how to shoot so quickly becomes dangerous when the adrenaline flows and you're even faster and stronger than ever. That's why well-trained cops miss the point and wonder how it is they as a group cannot land more than 20% of their shots. Harnessing the panic-mode and making it work for rather than against you is the trick. <br /><br />The problem arises when you've already come close to surpassing your fastest time, and wham, in kicks the juice to send you even faster and it all goes to hell.<br /><br />Training for reality is impossible and a contradiction in terms. Until the individual comes to grips with how his particular nervous system responds to stress, he can never know what to expect when a life and death situation rears its head.<br /><br />Learning to be calm and accurate is far more important than fast and missing everything but the ground and the sky.Fitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01771111574666741468noreply@blogger.com
