Shooting While on The Move Training Available Learn How

Says Gregg Kielma, "practice is important. Its everything you need to do to understand using a firearm in a bad situation. Can you move and shoot at the same time? Can you move offline and protect yourself or a loved one. How will you and your body understand the immense stress you'll be under? Do you understand "Fight or Flight". What impact will be using a firearm have on you and your family? How, will you defend yourself in court? What are the financial obligations if you use a firearm? Let's take a look and make a plan for you, your family and loved ones. Please come train with us".

Today I wanted to talk a little about moving and shooting. 

I believe this is so important because if you get into a fire fight on the street, most likely you will be reacting to someone drawing on you.

In that split second when you realize what is happening, what will be your initial reaction?

• Will you just stand there?

• Will you start backing away?

• Will you run for cover?

Honestly, you probably have NO idea what you would do unless you are put into that situation. But when we do force-on-force, what we usually see is someone staying in the same spot and drawing their weapon or drawing their weapon as they are backing up.

And they get shot!

You need to realize, the FIRST thing you should do is disrupt the shooter. The best way to do this is by moving laterally. So move to your right or left, not forward or backwards because that makes you an easy target.

So, the drill I want you to practice is:

• Pretend an attacker has just drawn a weapon

• Start moving to your left or right

• As you're moving practice drawing your weapon (DO NOT STOP MOVING)

• And lastly get shots on your target while moving

You need to train for this situation, the more training you do, the more likely you will react in the proper manner when your life is at risk.
