I l..."Speed is fine, accuracy is final." I like that. Accuracy also saves lives of innocents as well. I really stress being a "thinking shooter" - you gain nothing if the stress of the moment turns off your brain and you kill an innocent rather than a threat. And, if you can't get rounds on the threat - well, it isn't going to end well!eiaftinfohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13595068743383767561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031819490572301756.post-7745618134340680122013-08-23T01:59:37.581-05:002013-08-23T01:59:37.581-05:00Most people don't have the space, means or ins...Most people don't have the space, means or insurance to do it, but building a killing house out of used automobile tires allows you to handle multiple threats in different directions. It's more suited to combat style operations than it is for defensive measures of the sort Brighid invasions. But it allows for options that are not available in traditional ranges. <br /><br />I think that given the parameters that you're working with, EIAFTINFO, you have it nailed. <br /><br />Close Quarters Battle situations are won or lost based on calm nerves. I know of real-life exchanges at 10 feet where each party expends all ammo and nobody was hit. Practice helps to instill confidence and accuracy when it counts. Speed is fine, accuracy is final.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031819490572301756.post-78803451583764985922013-08-23T00:25:06.378-05:002013-08-23T00:25:06.378-05:00Couple thoughts.

Find some you like, copy them to your computer and bring them into word or some other program. Size it so the image fills the whole page and then print it out on a standard size piece of paper. Place these at 7 feet and you'll be proportional for a 21 foot target. Then, put them around your home (yes, friends may call "the wagon" :) ). <br /><br />The next step would be to get a LaserLyte round for your carry gun. Work up the scenarios you talked about - from a chair in the living room, getting out of bed, sitting at the kitchen table.<br /><br />Another alternative is the SIRT pistol, but honestly they're pricey. Anyway, give this a try and see what you think.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by Brighid, glad you like what you see.eiaftinfohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13595068743383767561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031819490572301756.post-70604400739027104442013-08-22T23:33:12.115-05:002013-08-22T23:33:12.115-05:00Thank you Sir! What I have trouble understanding ...Thank you Sir! What I have trouble understanding is how can one simulate real life scenarios, ie: in bed in a dark room, sitting in a chair watching tv... etc by shooting in a range environment. Are you depending on the range training and muscle memory to compensate for the surprise factor? Brighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11299215170393879517noreply@blogger.com
