Action Shooting as part of an overall training plan
I used to think the competition shooting stuff was all BS until I entered a 3 Gun match. I had my lunch handed to me by a bunch of people who could shoot very fast and very accurately. Did they game stuff? Yes. Was it tactical? No.
Here are my observations.
Most tactical guys egos get in the way of competition because they have a hard time with a 13 year old girl outshooting them. Get over it as you might learn to shoot fast and accurately in a semi dynamic environment.
Will this replace tactical training or combat? No but where else can civilians or retired personnel get to put some stress on themselves and have to shoot fast and accurately?
If the SHTF I would now want people to show up that had a competition background who can shoot fast and accurately and I will have an easier time teaching them tactics.
A Gaming Attitude. Is this a bad thing to develop as a whole? What do we do after our COA development? Wargame them if I remember correctly. How about an ambush, if we do it correctly we have Gamed it correctly where the enemy never gets a say. I think developing a Gaming Mindset is not the bad.
