Books and some rambling.

Last night I was watching the Sportsman's Channel Direct TV. Not too bad, one segment was about self defense shooting or some such. It was geared to evidently the beginning shooter, but in the course of the program, they kept talking about shooting and moving to avoid becoming the target. Sounds reasonable, but why didn't they say anything about hitting what you are shooting at. It seems a number of these so-called informational programs, go into a lot different shooting stances and moves. It seems a lot is based on various competition events. Anyway I got to thinking about it some today. I have met Bill Jordan and have bought and read and studied his book, "No Second Place Winner". It seems most shooting classes seem to forget you have to hit the bad guy or target, He was very fast, minimal movement and of course deadly accurate. He claimed if you want to be a good pistol man, you need to be able to draw on kill the person (Bad Guy) before he can shoot you, even if he has his gun and is ready and willing to shoot you. Of course it may different these days with the snatch resistant holsters and so on. Just thought I would vent my feelings and what is being called proper firearms instruction these days. Of course I cut my teeth on revolvers that may mean something. Anyway don't mean to step on anyones toes over this I wish everyone a good day and week. Hang in there. ATB
