I suppose prepare for combat with a firearm involves preparing for
the worst. You prepare for the most
difficult, not the easiest. So why no one
with his gun is not separated more than 4 or 5 meters from its target? Does
threats will have the decency not to go more than 4 or 5 meters from your
position? Facing such a threat is next least desirable and most dangerous,
something you should avoid creating distance and keeping always possible. But
how will you be able to incapacitate a threat to more than 4 or 5 meters if you
never turn away more than that distance from the target when you practice? Do
you think it is technically impossible or really difficult impact on a target
at 50 meters? Well it can and should be practiced.
A few days ago Pat Rogers
commented the following in a professional forum to discuss training in combat
gun after giving one of its prestigious courses (this time in (Southern
Exposure Training Center, Lakeland FL, and 11-12DIC13) to a group of civilians:
"The pistol shooting has
never been a skill that is easily mastered but has deteriorated over the last
decade or so. There are many reasons for this but perhaps the most frustrating
reduction results from the evaluation criteria everywhere manifested in the
folly of shooting only 6 meters and less. The theory that is often used is that
this is the "average" distance that a confrontation with the police
occurs, so why bother staff when they cannot hit the target at a greater
distance.
Information: if you're a cop and
you're involved in a confrontation with firearms and you have left the
"average" [mean why only x of 100 policemen are involved in a
confrontation with firearms, so why prepare for something that is so difficult
to happen].
Anybody is a sniper to 6 meters.
It can be a lousy shot and still achieve good impact so close to white.
However, the skills necessary to achieve impacts at distances up to 25 meters
is more difficult to master and some self-esteem may be hurt by not being able
to impact such distances.
The further away from the threat
it harder hit, but that works well both ways. Anyone can get lucky a short
distance but the distance is our ally. That's where the skill comes in and makes
a difference to the unprepared and semi-prepared.
In our courses we started at 25
meters and spent about 35% of the time to 15 meters and beyond.
If you can impact distance you
can also do a short distance. "
I think the only thing that Pat
Rogers seeks to make clear with his words is evident from the need to practice
distance, which is making it more difficult. Not always the obvious is clear
and it seems that this need to practice distance is very clear judging by the
happy habit of staying less than 5 meters from the target. A grouping of 20 cm.
5 meters becomes 40 cm. 10 meters, 60 cm. 15 meters, 80 cm. 20 meters, 1 m. 25
meters, 2 meters. 50 meters, i.e. than 5 m. is an impact on the threat, 10 m.
It can be a failure. However, a grouping of 20 cm. 10 meters, for example,
becomes 10 cm. 5 meters, ie an impact on the threat 10 meters is also an impact
to 5 meters. In other words, if you are able to beat a white 10 sure you'll be
able to also beat him 5 meters, but you are able to beat a target at 5 meters
does not mean much unless you're able to do 10 meters. Get ready for the most
difficult (to beat a target at 10 meters or more) than the easiest (beat a
white 5 meters) go out alone.
Many are surprised to see how a
gun can easily achieve an impact on a target at 50 meters, even some impact
within the circle of 20 cm. in diameter that represent the center of mass of a
threat. I say it is easy to do because I myself have gotten on occasion, and
look I'm bad! If I can anyone can. And do not think you have to aim high but in
my case (G17 Gen4) opposite happens and I have to aim 30 cm. below.
There will be who doubt the
usefulness of hitting targets at a distance, but if you ever need to make such
a long shot your gun will drive them less have practiced before. What will be
needed when a shot from a distance? For when so decided by a threat that comes
you’re whimsical, for example, at the end of a corridor of 50 meters on a
tactical situation with an active shooter as has already happened in the US in
some college.
I like to start all my sessions
at the shooting range with a series of 5 shots at 50 meters. Normally an impact
enters white and even in the circle of 20 cm. There are times (few) where there
are 5 impacts even on paper (420 mm. X 594 mm.). It is cold check, without
preparation, the proper application of the basic principles of shooting,
especially trigger control. 50 meters from the white a slight deviation
supposed to miss the shot.
But not me who to give lessons.
Who better than a good teacher, good shooter and good fighter with guns weather
it is blank
firing gun or real as Kyle Defoor to explain that the shot away? See this
man in action is impressive and motivating. I do not know how many instructors
can boast of beating targets at ranges of more than 50 meters as Kyle Defoor
ago.
