MOVING AND SHOOTING

In any gun fight it is extremely important to keep your heart in motion. It may also be necessary to engage the threat with your firearm as you move to cover or get out of the area of danger or get to a family member. We take a common sense approach to moving and shooting and will teach you the key elements to be successful at this technique. We will also teach you how to move tactically to a piece of cover. You will participate in several drills where you will shoot while you move, shoot then move and move then shoot. We emphasize making your hits and only shooting when you can make your hits. This skill set is one of the most difficult to master and requires many hours of practice to be competent at hitting your target while moving your feet.
