Are You Part of the EDC 1%?

My golf game sucks. Cant hit with a driver for 💩, but I can do this at 10 yards + on a 3” from first 2 shots non stop.
You decide …😏

Friend, there's nobody up there shooting back at you.

no there is not, and I hope to keep it that way.
I'm a pilot. you train for emergencies and failures constantly so when it does happen, muscle memory kicks in and you dont panic. its second nature to you and you handle the emergency.
If I'm in a situation where i have to employ my pistol in SD, muscle memory should kick in. At least it does with a rifle and charging boars ;)🐗🐗

Can I suggest you take a few Force on Force classes. They used to use Simunition guns but now a lot of classes use Airsoft guns. You KNOW when youve been hit so it a learning point. Force on Force shooting dont look like a SQUARE Range session because people react DIFFERENTLY on a Two Way Range

i get you are new here. go back and read about 2000 pages over the last couple years to see where I train with high level professionals locally and guide for hogs. I've been thru force on force long ago. I'm used to having 4 legged animals that want to harm me keep me on my toes. I have no desire to get into a gun fight. period.
those that are in the line of work to be shot at, good for you. appreciate what you do. not my desire.
I seek out instruction to be better at what I love. Firearms. I was a local PD officer ever so briefly before I kept my current career for 35 yrs. I just dont static shoot.

Is the goal when you shoot to be a bad shot and have a target that looks like a shotgun went off? cause if that's the case like everyone else I see at the range, I guess i'm doing it wrong.

Haha. I suck at grown up golf, but put me on a mini golf course and I am everyone’s worst nightmare. My smack talking game is ginormous! I’m a bad loser and an even worse winner when it comes to mini golf. Btw, I don’t lose. See, I’m already at it!

Same thing at darts too!
 
As someone mentioned earlier (and in response to many other threads here), in addition to daily draws from the holster/dry fire, I train and take instructor-led courses when I can because the moment I have to use my firearm in self defense is not the moment I want to be figuring out if I can.
 
Me having a bad day at the range. Middle target is my idea of low and left. I have done force on force training with simunitions, CQB, etc. I’ve also had to
pull my gun on someone at bad breath distance. My gun game is pretty close to my miniature golf game. A lot of sh*t talking and people in tears. 😎🙄😇

The study I want to see is, the number of successful self-defense incidents broken down by "Rob Leatham" like and those that believe "they don’t need to take a class to increase their skills beyond safe gun handling." NOT knocking training. Shoot for a long time, used to shoot IMSA before I got any formal training and yes, I learned some. However you don't need to be trained to Rob Leathem level to be effective. Remember the author has a financial axe to grind and some people have a life outside of self-defense.
Oh never played golf mini or otherwise. If I'm walking around a field, it's to pick up hay bales.

Thank you. You just handed me the perfect lead in for what I was about to say.

What I'm about to post is my opinion based on my minimal level of experience.

I was on the security team at my church for 6 or 7 years. In order to carry a gun on the security team you had to qualify with the gun you carried twice a year.

Four times a year the security team leadership hosted a 2 day training session. One day of classroom one day of range time. It was free professional training, I went every time they offered it.

Every training session they went over the basics and the fundamentals. There is a little bit of shooting from a compromised position. Shooting around barriers but most of it was good grip, breathing control, sight alignment and trigger squeeze.
They also had us work on dry firing and they had us practicing changing magazines and malfunction drills.

The head of our security team was a retired cop and he still had connections Every so often they had CSPD give us training on active shooter scenarios but as a concealed handgun permit holder that's not really something I'm going to be worrying about unless I'm on a church security team.

More important in my opinion than classroom training or range training is real world situational awareness.

I am absolutely convinced that the only way to truly learn situational awareness is to be in a position where you have to practice situational awareness or you're going to pay a real world consequence.
 
I have a question, what are we training for?

@KillerFord1977 didn't exactly say this but he implied it. There was a pilot that said one time that an idiot can fly an airplane. What he was trained for was that one in a million, might never happen moment when all the alarms in the cockpit go off at once.

I believe that if you get some stress inoculation training and master basic gun handling that'll cover 90% of the issues that most of us will deal with In our lifetimes.
