Self-Defense Highlights

Rob Pincus shows the variety of targets available for firearms training and shooting drills.

What is your body's natural response prior to any training? Does that have any protective or tactical application? If so, why aren't we incorporating it into personal defense? Tony Blauer discusses these questions and more.

Rob Pincus talks about the Figure 8 Defensive Drill In Depth. When he says in-depth, he means the targets are going to be scattered and not all in one plain. This is going to help you work on your balance of speed and precision taking into account not only different types of targets, the predictability of the target, the position of our body but also the distance which is a factor we haven't incorporated into the Figure 8 Drill yet.

The Shooting in Motion Drill is a dynamic advanced drill. Be sure that all participants have had extensive practice presenting from the holster while moving rapidly offline (Lateral Movement) and clearly understand the safe backstop areas on the range.

A target with a variety of target options help students recognize the different types of reaction and response tactics for a given drill. Watch how to make your own target with a white sheet of paper and multiple colors of spray paint.
