I’ve been shooting for years, long guns and pistols, even
competing in steel plate matches. My
focus has always been accuracy at distance.
On a recent trip to the range my shooting partner demonstrated her
defensive tactic practice and I was intrigued.
Then she really got my attention by sending the target carrier out to 25
feet, hitting the “home” button so it started to travel back, drawing and
unloading 16 rounds into the high center chest before the target made it all
the way back. This was something I had
never seen before and was intrigued. I
had to try it. Fresh target, out to 25
feet, “home” and I started shooting. At
that speed you are point shooting but I was pleased to find I had a fairly
tight group in the center. More than
that, it was FUN!
It reminded me that we should always be learning and trying
new techniques. Even if you’ve been
shooting for years, there is something new to try, and you might even enjoy
it. I’m looking forward to the next trip
to the range so I can do it again!
