Walk through your house, plan your tactics. If possible avoid the confrontation entirely, there's no shame in backing off and running to a safe room if you and your family can. But if you can't fall back on your training and planning. Concentrate, aim for the centre of mass and shoot until the threat is neutralised.Pens of Mass Descriptionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13566400595217514583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589058118905796512.post-68469807942618373842011-12-04T11:26:09.039-05:002011-12-04T11:26:09.039-05:00Exactly SnT, that is why i do the drills and when ...Exactly SnT, that is why i do the drills and when i can find someone to do it with paintball is also a good simulator in spite of the lack of recoil by getting your heart pumping and teaching you to think and react on your feet.Mortalis09https://www.blogger.com/profile/02203662424055986844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589058118905796512.post-56300537228772976152011-12-04T08:05:15.573-05:002011-12-04T08:05:15.573-05:00Possessing a firearm for self-defence does not sud...Possessing a firearm for self-defence does not suddenly confer on the owner the ability to use it under stress. Never be complacent in thinking that owning a gun is sufficient to prepare you for the defence of yourself, your home or your loved ones. No matter how well you can shoot at the range, once the clouds of stress descend upon you it becomes a whole new ball game. It is well know that people placed under conditions of severe stress start to lose the ability to think rationally. Adrenaline is released causing breathing increase, allowing the heart to pump oxygenated blood around the body. The senses start to shut down, peripheral vision narrows and sound becomes blocked out as the body's defence mechanisms kick in. The ability to conduct even simple tasks becomes more difficult and a once accomplished marksman can become the worst shot ever. <br /><br />We have to accept that our accuracy under stress will never be as good as on the range whilst in comfortable conditions. The only way we can mitigate against this is through training. Not just simply going to the range and shooting but in practising reloading drills, jam clearance, shooting from different positions, shooting from behind cover, strong hand and weak hand shooting. If possible team up with another like soul and take it in turns to put each other under stress whilst shooting, even something simple such as constantly talking whilst your partner is shooting can be enough. If you can, do some exercises before you shoot to get the heart rate up. By constantly practising you will commit these actions to muscle memory and they will become all the easier under stress.Pens of Mass Descriptionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13566400595217514583noreply@blogger.com
