Shooting Techniques vs. Principles: Trivial Debates About What Technique is Best

April 27, 2021 by Myles 2 Comments
Last Modified: September 6, 2021

Shooting techniques vs shooting pnciples

One of the reasons I started Tactical Hyve was because I became frustrated. In one class, a reputable instructor might say that one technique was the best way to do something. But in another class, a different instructor would completely disagree and say that technique would get someone killed. This happened often and still does. Debates About Shooting … [Read more...] about Shooting Techniques vs. Principles: Trivial Debates About What Technique is Best

TRAINING PRIORITY Good instructors, schools, and s TRAINING PRIORITY
Good instructors, schools, and systems often provide a training roadmap for their students.

However, these roadmaps do not always account for many personal variables such as size, gender, speed, strength, age, etc.

What would you prioritize next and why?

Situation awareness and mindset are important, but let’s assume you have that in the bag already.

CELL PHONES 📱 It’s not uncommon to see real CELL PHONES 📱 
It’s not uncommon to see real footage of people involved in a deadly encounter holding their cell phones.

It’s a hard habit to break developed over a long period of time.

Many of us are attached to our phones, literally and figuratively. 

If you do not train in realistic scenarios, you, too, will likely hold on to your phone when that hand can be used to defend yourself.

There is an argument that one might need to use their phone after a conflict, and their phone might break if a person drops their phone.

Well, your working phone will do you no good if you’re dead. 

Drop you phone and deal with any threats.
