Living In a 360 Degree World: Defensive Firearms Training
Personal Defense Network EditorsDescription
Brain Sabol discusses the importance of defensive firearms training for a 360 degree world, even on a typical square range. Brian offers some ideas for how you can train more realistically even when your live-fire options don’t include 360 degrees.
Here comes another important tip from the Personal Defense Network. So we're out here practicing for personal defense practicing for our personal safety. And what we're thinking about is that our training scenario in our world can't get encompassed into that 90 degree right in front of us, 180 competition mindset where if I'm standing here at a square bay and all I can see as this target, I have to keep in mind that there could be something behind me. I have to take that 360 degree situation into mind. We're in a nice square range and a nice square bay.
Come out, set it up. Even if you cannot shoot behind you, set something there. So that in your mind, after you're shooting in that nice little cone of where you always shoot your target besides your 180 safety zone think about opening that up to 360 degrees. And whether you do it at home in a backyard with an airsoft gun, with a Nerf gun something that gets you out of that cone of complacency where you're always looking down at target and then left and right at 180 degrees, take your whole situation into account. Scan for the 360.
The real world is 360. Be sure to check out the personal defense network for more important tips, just like that one.
