An Official Journal Of The NRA | Firearm Practice: Slow and Steady
There's no need to be the fastest when it comes to firearm practice. As they say, slow and steady can win the race.
The age old spray and pray tactic? Only 3 mags will do?
Know the feeling, when people show up at my range and start that crap, I pack up and leave......I don’t want to witness any accidental discharges or accidentsI see this so bloody often at ranges...7 yards, a full sized B27 or the equivalent (Transtar2, etc)...dump a mag, and if half the rounds hit, and there’s a couple in the A, then they’re pounding each others backs...
I’ve asked, once or twice, “what about the misses?”...and get looks like a landed perch. “They hit the backstop”...sure, here they did...but what happens when you do that for real? You don’t rise to the occasion—you fall back on what you’ve practiced.
I’m not a Fudd, not by any stretch of the imagination...but there’s a decent amount of people that are carrying that scare the crap out of me. I truly hope I’m not anywhere near them if they ever start shooting.
I've been known to get the kids out fast when "the A team" arrives. If their targets were as big as their egos, they would never miss.Know the feeling, when people show up at my range and start that crap, I pack up and leave......I don’t want to witness any accidental discharges or accidents
At 7 yards I can mag dump from the hip with any of my glocks(17, 20, 21, 22, 31, 40 and 41) @ mag capacity all in b27 10 score. I haven't been able too do that with my sa, s&w or sig. 15 yards not able so far, but working on it.I see this so bloody often at ranges...7 yards, a full sized B27 or the equivalent (Transtar2, etc)...dump a mag, and if half the rounds hit, and there’s a couple in the A, then they’re pounding each others backs...
