I always like to know the professional background of any instructor since the term is used rather loosely.
All that shows is that he was able to deal with the particular problem he faced with the particular skills and abilities he had.FireForged said:My teenage nephew who has never had any tactical, SD training was attacked by a boar one morning... he had a empty rifle slung over his back and was able to put (2) rounds into the boar which ended the event. Later he stated that he never remembered loading. His level of training was basic safe operation of a firearm and hunting with his Dad....
Under stress, one doesn't "rise to the occasion." One defaults to his level of training. Confronted with a problem, one will use whatever skills he has available. If he's good enough, that will work. But if his skills are not up to the problem at hand, things won't turn out well.FireForged said:...the idea that people are somehow bumbling goofs under stress without specialized operator training, is just not reasonable.
A little more on this question.dawg23 said:...Does Gunsite require students to shoot from the Weaver stance ?? ...
...I really liked that even though they teach shooting from the Weaver (and it isn't like a lot of other places I've seen teach it), they don't insist that you shoot from it...they do ask you to give it a chance. I went there to see how they taught it and to give it an honest try as a defensive technique...it took about 3 days to really get a feel for it....
