Sieg...
The clear and get the muzzle on target has been shown to me... and this is another thing that folks don't think about --- without being shown -- prior I would draw - raise up arms extended - sight.... of course by that time I was already dead.
None of this is automatic of course... I still want to stand up straight instead of presenting the smallest possible target... and I still want to sight. I've only been in the sim 3 times now... my buddies have probably been in there 100's of times. They see stuff that I don't - you know - like the woman with the grocery cart 50 yards out directly back of the perp... just little things like that <grin>.
I know you've mentioned competition. It would be so much fun! I'm not allowed in the training area with the actual live fire and moving targets. That's police only. I'd love to be shown that area and be able to use it - but it's the busiest portion of the range.
Funny -- if you'd have asked me 6 months ago about owning a handgun I'd have said "Why would I want that?". But it was my friends that said I SHOULD have one given my plans with the new rig. They were aghast that I would park along side an interstate and go to sleep - or pull off into some "area" on a deserted state road somewhere. Since then - I've asked myself why I didn't do this years ago. It really is fun.
My hope is to NEVER have to even think about actually pointing it at someone. But I now know I'll sleep a lot better knowing it's there and that I kinda know how to use it.
