Shooting vs. Fighting: Learn the Difference

Shooting Illustrated  by Sheriff JIm Wilson - Friday, August 16, 2019

When a criminal attack is put upon you, it’s always best if you can multiply your chances for survival. You want to be able to use every legal advantage against your attacker. In short, you should do your best to make it the worst day that crook ever had. Here are some ideas for doubling down on the bad guy.

Once you have learned to shoot–marksmanship and gun handling–you need to learn to fight. Shooting and fighting are not exactly the same thing. For instance, you might be really good at hitting a target but have never been taught the proper use of cover and movement. The same goes for the benefit of a fast, smooth pistol presentation and the flash sight picture. These are just a few of the fighting skills that go beyond basic marksmanship. Once you have gotten a handle on the basics, it’s a real good idea to find a school that teaches gunfighting, taught by people who have actually done it. Gunsite Academy is one such place, but there are several good schools out there.
