Most indoor gun ranges ban drawing from concealment. Rapid fire mag dump? Mozambique? Nope. You’re left practicing simple marksmanship. Which is important! But after a while . . . what? This! The COD (Call Out Drill). Draw a combination of letters, numbers or shapes on the back of the target and have a ballistic BFF call out your target, or combination of targets. The drill forces you to ID your target before shooting, and master transitions. It’s not moving and shooting, but it’s not dull either.
I really like the Hornady American Gunner rounds. My brother and I recently zeroed his Ruger American Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor, and American Gunner was giving us sub MOA groups even though we are newbies at precision shooting. We are really happy with it.
Sorry! But any attempt to negate the Second Amendment will get any one who attempts to take my weapons Killed!
Two years ago when I fired a S&W M&P 9mm for my ccl. (62 years old) Boy am I glad I left NY.
Where’s the letter to Paul Ryan? Despite all the support, the bill in the House isn’t going anywhere either, and it is Ryan’s doing.
Huh-huh, you said butts.
(D) ! ! !
I try to train as often as possible on the “El Presidente” drill, because I think it includes all aspects of gunfighting, i.e. drawing from a covered holster, firing multiple rounds at multiple targets, a mod-fight reload, and NOT missing shots. But one thing that is missing is movement. So I’ll be trying to find a way to alter that drill with a little movement.
Bolt action rifle being one of the best options for home defensive?
Crazy
One of the best options for battle?
Possibly
Best options for hunting?
Probably
Of course semi autos alsowork perfectly well for all three
Don’t get me wrong. I like bolt, lever, pump, semi-auto, break action, etc.
Rate of fire is relatively slow with a bolt. Autoloader, pump, lever, are all usually quicker
Well… I agree…. on the shoot-how-you-carry thing for training.
I also try to move/draw/shoot and then draw/shoot/move.
I also practice shooting while moving. Running even. I started doing that many years ago after reading Ed McGivern’s Book on fast and fancy revolver shooting. It’s hard – easier for me shooting one-handed.
But…..If I’m being shot-at. I PLAN to move to cover (best I can) and then draw/shoot.
What I mainly see when people shoot while they are moving ….. is that they miss.
So their rounds may be suppressing fire, but a fight-stopping hit would be random.
It is difficult to hit while your walking… It seems like it’s easier to hit while running if the distance is not more than 30 feet.
I think moving is over-rated for most newbs. If they can’t hit standing still then moving is not going to help that much.
Just my opinion……pay your money and make your choice.
I think most athletes or former athletes would move or draw depending on the situation. Plus if you’re being shot at by a gang banger it might be safer to stand still and return fire. I wouldn’t want to jump in front of a bullet!
