No shooting on the move in a two week block of instruction?!?!??!?!?!?!?!
Shooting on the move seems to me like a pretty important skill.

I read somewhere that Paul Howe said he never shot on the move.
I remember reading of Howe's preference for move-plant-shoot, but don't remember it being 'never shoot on the move.' Maybe someone who has trained with him directly can clarify.
I still heart shooting on the move and personally consider it an indispensable skill.
Anyone have any exposure to the Army's "Quick Kill" training from the 70s?
Paging Brownie...
A few years back my boss sent me to James Rutland's School. Mr. Rutland learned the "Quick Kill" system from Lucky McDaniel.
I was able to make some fairly impressive shots using the "Quick Kill" methodology using a BB gun (shooting wadded up tissue out of the center of a washer thrown in the air; hitting a quarter and then a dime thrown in the air- I still have them somewhere).
Unfortunately, once we moved to the rimfire range for a more practical application of the "Quick Kill" technique, I had no problem delivering considerably better accuracy at greater speed using contemporary sighting techniques.
In the interest of giving "Quick Kill" a fair assessment, I subsequently used it to engage targets with an M-4 sans sights/optics on a moving target range. Once again, contemporary sighting techniques yielded substantially superior performance.
In all fairness to Mr.Rutland, I thought his program was well-structured and the presentation was very professional. I just did not find the techniques taught to be superior, in any regard, to using the sights.
