3 Firearms Training Myths, And Quick Fixes

Myth #1 - Training Is Practice...

Myth #2 - All Gun, All The Time...

Myth #3 - The 21 Foot Rule...


I want to start off by saying that I’m a big fan of live firearms training. I’ve been to dozens of classes with dozens of high-speed instructors over the years and even the “mediocre” classes were great experiences and this is not a criticism of firearms instructors at all. They’re given the almost impossible task of conveying a lifetime of instruction, practice, and experience into as short of a class as possible at a price that students can afford.

With that out of the way, myth #1 is that firearms training is equivalent to practice. It’s not.

Thanks for sharing..
I'm happy that I started doing the training logs and things like that because it keeps me more aware of if I'm getting anything useful done. If I'm not writing it down it's easy to forget to do a days practice. or easier to let it slide. But when you're keeping track it's there to remind you next time that you were slacking!

Also, I think martial arts class' are a great way of keeping better situational awareness and learning to deal with close distance threats.
