Well --- just learned the difference between target shooting and tactical training!
I've been shooting for about 15 years --- mostly shotgun, rimfire pistol, and rimfire rifle. I can shoot centerfire rifle --- but usually in hunting type situations (.30-06).
I'd consider myself a reasonably good shot.
Just tried a 3-gun course, today ---- and got my butt kicked!
I actually scored very high on target precision (2nd highest, in fact out of 10) -However, I was destroyed on:
- ammo management (ending up with the correct number of rounds, even with mandatory magazine changes)
- speed (I'm a target shooter --- I take my time)
- re-loading (time added for reloading in the open without cover)
I admit ---- I'm not a fan of tactical shooting ---- but it made me realize that I'm not as prepared as I've always thought I was.
Sure - I can hit a plate at 200 yards sitting at a bench. However I'm not quite as good at hitting a zombie at 50 yards while in motion.
If you guys haven't tried it ---- I'd recommend it.
