Any place that teaches hitting a running target with a pistol?

[Cedonulli]

Im in Tigard. Been shooting all my life with many types of guns but almost all target. Years ago used to bird hunt and know how to lead with a shotgun but I know (I think) that's its really pretty hard to shoot at a cross or angle running target with a 9mm. Since I don't have any way of practicing that at a range, and don't want to learn the hard way on an attacker, what does anyone suggest? Thanks.

As with most all of my shooting, jackrabbits in Nevada is about the best teacher...

Head on up to Seattle, I hear there's plenty of target practice going on up there lately.

Get your hunting license, and furbearer permit. Go squirrel hunting with a .22 pistol. Thank me later.

Check out the simulators at Threat Dynamics in Sherwood. In their simulated ranges, they offer, among other things, a bouncing ball target which is a hell of a lot harder to hit than it sounds.

IDPA / USPSA matches are great. They usually feature swinging and momentary targets, and I have seen ones on tracks/pulleys but that seems less common.

I want to know what caliber they are using. 5.56 or maybe 6.8 spc? Those were some hard hits.

5.56. Damn.


"You'll be using the top-quality Daniel Defense DDM4v7s chambered in .223 or, if the area has a high concentration of coyotes, a Benelli M4 shotgun shooting 00 buckshot."

Moving or specifically running? Some a them axe murderers are on pogo sticks and stuff.

Got any neighborhood kids you don't really like? Pay one five bucks to run carrying a pumpkin over his head. After the first couple of shots the little turds will really move!

I've had great experiences at FAS with their moving targets.

Shooting at moving targets and shooting while moving are two of the more difficult aspects of defensive handgunning. It is also one that is nearly impossible to practice on a public range, so this...

When you can hit a zigzag Jack Rabbit running through the Sagebrush at 90 miles an hour, using a black powder cap and ball pistol, you know youve practiced enough...
