More down range photographer

[ghitch75]

ok just a question.....how many days a week do you'al "train"....not target shooting....."train"?

 

[Rob377]

Define "train"

 

[ghitch75]

self defense "train".....as these classes with the photographer...

 

[Rob377]

You have to take a class to "train'?

 

[ghitch75]

nope......

 

[Rob377]

what counts as self-defense "train" then?

 

[ghitch75]

shooting around live people from what i'v seen and a bunch of people lined up in a row shooting at card board targets?.......this is how training is done?

 

[Rob377]

Did the video or anyone else say that was the only acceptable training?

 

[ghitch75]

no i'm just trying to see what is....so everyone lined up in a row shooting is training for self defense?....

Define "train"

roll around, jump on one foot, spin around, jump over a sofa, hood slide on a car, take cover behind a potted plant, tackle a tree after your kids yells "fight", chase live chickens to increase foot speed, look into a mirror and say "you talking to me" 100 times, spend time online talking about training for minimum of 1 hour, read the latest Guns & Ammo, American Handgunner, Combat Handguns, Guns, Shotgun News, and do one mad libs page, clean gun, surf web for deals on tactical gear and if time permits go to range and stand and shoot 20 rounds, ammo is expensive

You forgot to do at least 10 reps of double dream hands to hone the startle response.

oh there are many more things I didn't put in, but it looks like this killed the thread

Okay, double dream hands is funny.

...This thread seems to have taken another direction since you found out Yeager wasn't the only one who runs these kinds of drills.

Actually the direction changed when you were asked to verify this. Still waiting...

really?.......you actually pay someone to do this?

I'll just add this to the mix and politely refrain from comment!

Laugh all you want, but it's old school training at its best.

Is there any way to verify that shooting with humans downrange actually better prepares a shooter for a real self defense shooting?

Actually there is a lot of science around the ability to successfully reproduce a skill. Mastery of a skill requires repetitive practice of said skill called "deliberative practice" with deliberate practice it has been shown to better prepare the person to reinact this skill under stress or in any situation.
