I can place 2 rounds on a 6 inch disk under 2 seconds from a complete relaxed position. Used to compete in 2 gun runs and had a few officers approach me for handgun critique and training. People like me would stain the earth with nig nog blood so thick the plants would kill each other for 100 years
I've watched the quick draw shooting stuff I want to get my daughter into that. How is that for realistic situations?
A lot of the experience I take from competition is clearing jams, shooting in awkward positions, and counting my rounds. If your mag holds ten, shoot 9 and swap mags. The second it takes to rack the slide is a matter of life and death. Buy her a bb gun pistol with a laser pointer and have her picks small target. Dry fire until she can pull the trigger and the dot doesn't move
Trick shooting and tactical shooting are two different things. I'll admit I'm a good shot, but under stress of being attacked I have no experience other than boxing, tkd, and jiu jitsu. Best advice I can give is watch the youtube podcast primary and secondary to listen to the pros at killing and firearm defense talk about dos and donts
Some things I was trained on in the military: 2 tracers at the bottom of the mag and 2 behind the first 2-3 rounds to help your element to determine point of contact. Look carefully into laws concerning tracer rounds for civilian use. Do 20 push ups and a 50 yd sprint before engaging a target. Do the same, but leave your weapon at the firing lane w the mag empty and 2-3 rounds near it, load the mag, engage the the target. Do the same again, but have your buddy sabotage your weapon for a misfire. Your breathing and your dexterity will be very different under stress/adrenaline, than it is under normal range time.
When and if you can hit 800m target with a military issued M4 and you have the range space available, consider sprinting from 1000 meters and shooting 3 rounds from prone, sprint 200 more meters shoot 3 from prone, 3 from haji sitting position. Don't stop now, sprint 200m more and now do 3 rounds from prone, haji sit, kneeling and standing, time yourself, examine your shot groups and do better next time.
Also "ready ups" are the single most important thing to practice and it's free
What are ready up? Will Google it
