Why Shooters Practice for the Real World

I agree that you cant train for every scenario. I also acknowledge some scerarios might be easier than other to keep a cool head throughout. While firing upon an unknowing home intruder would be much easier to remember front site press, then waking up already having been stabbed twice, or finding yourself in a gunfight already having been shot and trying to make a smooth consistant draw. Through planning however I think we should try to minimize the effort in carrying out the task. And I think our best defense might not be range related at all. I'm not saying set claymores in your hallway, but do give yourself every advantage and aknowledge the possibilty.
 
General range rules in use while other people are at the range severly handicaps a defensive shooter I don't agree with the two second rule some ranges have so when I want to really practice I go to the boonies or rent the city range for 1/2 a day.
 
The most pucker factor inducing call. Domestic! You need to be able to look at what is required in that call "Domestic" if in the kitchen, lots of knives at the very least.

Average range in a shot required incident, 7 yds max? If you can not hit an eye socket sized target (2" circle?) with a static target, duty ammunition, duty pistol, why not?

You might need to check on that. On a safe range. No danger, just the cool headed shot fired. Jumping up and down for a minute, try again, 2" circle.
