That's the difference between playing a game and shooting in a self defense scenario. The mentality should be the same but often it is not….In my opinion, the standards are too low. In the spirit of being accountable for every round you fire, you should have all rounds on the silhouette. Those two bullets not on target hit something or someone.
This is what I don't get -- why would you train yourself to accept misses? Your performance will likely degrade in a real defensive situation, so you might as aim for the highest training standard.That's the difference between playing a game and shooting in a self defense scenario.

Cause time trumps accuracy as long as MOST your rounds make contact…. Not saying I agree.This is what I don't get -- why would you train yourself to accept misses? Your performance will likely degrade in a real defensive situation, so you might as aim for the highest training standard.
Yes...if applicable...move to get the higher percentage shots.If you do have to engage with a active shooter....
I would suggest to get as close as you can...and take the best shot that you have , at that moment.

Is not to be read as a "higher percentage shots" as in "points" on a target...but asI would suggest to get as close as you can...and take the best shot that you have , at that moment.
I'm not taking a 75 yard shot with a handgun…. But that's just me. And is there a high probability that your missed shots will impact other innocent civilians?So for the sake of argument, let's say you're in a hypothetical situation where some psycho is shooting people. You have him in your sights at 75 yards. Far from ideal, and you're going to miss a few because that's a long way, but every second you wait people are dying. Do you just not shoot, because some will miss?
Not saying you shouldn't strive for the best in training, but I have to wonder if there are times...
"Their training is like bloodless battles, and their battles like bloody training."That's the difference between playing a game and shooting in a self defense scenario. The mentality should be the same but often it is not….
Not to nitpick, but it's Diligentia, Vis, Celeritas.Nevertheless, power = accuracy = speed. The gunfight triangle.
It was just food for thought; I don't have a strong opinion on this issue, and I'm far from any kind of expert. There are others on this thread who I would defer to for advice.I'm not taking a 75 yard shot with a handgun…. But that's just me.

Remember when Andy Brown stopped the mass shooting at Fairchild AFB with a headshot from 74yds I think?I'm not taking a 75 yard shot with a handgun…. But that's just me. And is there a high probability that your missed shots will impact other innocent civilians?
I said "I won't take that shot." You are more than welcome to do what you are comfortable with.Remember when Andy Brown stopped the mass shooting at Fairchild AFB with a headshot from 74yds I think?

I don't have a dog in the fight. I was just saying it wasn't hypothetical. It's been done.I said "I won't take that shot." You are more than welcome to do what you are comfortable with.
Agreed. Lots of things have been done that I myself would avoid. Just cause it can or has doesn't mean I'm dipping my toes in that pool. Haha.I don't have a dog in the fight. I was just saying it wasn't hypothetical. It's been done.
It is damn good. It is my understanding he advanced to a column for cover and support to fire accurately.IMHO......
Under stress, 40 yards with a semi auto and 8 out of 10 is darn good. Then....if he felt the need (or just his choice) to close the distance while still engaging.....it's still a WELL DONE, Elisjsha Dicken.
