Engaging targets in the open when cover is close by, reloading on the run (though it’s much wiser to reload behind cover and then move), engaging targets in the order that gives us the fastest times instead of those that would be the greatest danger to the shooter, always having a chance to plan your “attack” or even rehearse your run—these are but a few of the things that set people up for failure in the real world. It appears that the more skilled you become in competition, the easier it is to preprogram behaviors that could be fatal in a real self-defense encounter.

I think you just quoted Ken Hackathorn.

Thanks for the demonstration. As to how to properly fail a troll attempt. LOL

Pretty good article for a change. Must be because I agree with it.

Separate but related question. Was Ken Hackathorn actually in the Army Special Forces? I have seen it printed different ways. Some print that he trained them, others that he was a member.

All I know is that the "related article" link has "experts on 45 vs 9mm" as the first option. Let's see what Gabe and Ken both think of that, before I pee down my pant leg with anticipation.

I am sitting in the hotel room looking at Gabe and pals, and I can assure you he is lovin' on competition.

Yes. As for the "trainer" stuff you've seen in print, he did a lot of training for various units well after he was out of the military.
