I’m not buying the direct and indirect references to: If you train to shoot fast then you will
only be able to shoot fast, and, by inference, in an uncontrolled or less controlled manner in a stressful situation.
I would argue the people who train to shoot fast and accurately simply have a higher level of technical skill and proficiency. The can ‘see’ and process faster and are better prepared to adapt to changing situations.
For example, they can dynamically adapt their rate of fire and accuracy requirements more easily than a person who only trains to a slower but equivalently standard level of accuracy, or that never trains to maintain speeds at increasing levels of target difficulty (e.g. El Prez vs.
Diamond Cutter).
FYI that's a 4.02s run with 6 Alphas and 2 close Charlies - at a match.
And yes, I’ve shot sub 5s El Prez runs with competition gear and pretty good hits, and mid 6s pretty clean runs with concealed carry gear - but does “blazing” like this mean that I can “only” blaze like this when stressed? I think not.
