Just to make something clear about Shooting Competitions and staying alive on the street. Many know that I urge all gunowners to shoot in some form of a match. There are many that do not require a fortune to get into. I tend to always refer new shooters to a Steel Match for simplicity in getting their feet wet. Having said this Competition is good for developing actual shooting skills but not so much in real tactics and the spontaneous conditions that you may meet on the street. Unfortunately there is no shooting games that I know of that can deal with this. Safety rules, range limitations etc just can not replicate staying alive on the street. I was shooting at Shaws Mid South one year and his shoot house came the closest I have seen for practice but I am sure there are many newer state of the art facilities available now for training. Even our DarkHouse at PASA works well. Having said this, I still believe that before one spends money, ammo and time on lots of street tactics, that he gets his marksmanship up to his personal best first. I have seen many students with the Tshirt but could not pass an eval in actually shooting. This is not on the instructor however but on the student for not following thru with the commitment to practice his new found information. I do not know any other way than trigger time and the shooting sports to accomplish this. Yes, there are training scars from competition but like callused hands, they make you stronger. I have attached a great article on this. Hope some will find it helpful.
