shooting silloettes
I am a firm believer that everytime you are at the range you are putting yourself in training, you are training for a day you hope will never arrive. The day you use the weapon for its designed purpose, to shoot and kill. It is not a pretty picture but it is IMHO the truth. I only shoot at silloettes or person sized targets, and generally from within 15 yrds, every once in awhile I send it out to 25 but this is a unrealistic distance for any civilian engagement with a side arm. A cross hair or bullseye target is great for sighting in but unrealistic for real life application. The bad guy in your house or robbing your mcdonalds won't have a target, they have their vital organs and in reality chaotic backgrounds. I train myself to shoot double tap to the center mast and 1 to the head. But it is also important to train yourself mentally for not just your target but where the bullet travels if you miss or have a through ad through wound. It is a scary prospect that I pray I never run into, but I want to be prepared for if that god forsaken day ever does come. If I draw on a person they no longer are a person, they are that silloette and they made that decission.
Keep it up guys!
