[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3031497, member: 5412"] I'll agree with your comment that if somebody has a gun on me at distance, I'm running, it's doubtful you will be hit. Spent a lifetime shooting at running and flying game with pistols, rifles and shotguns.Hunting is my game. It's not something that comes naturally for 99,999% of humans. It's all practice and repetition using the firearm of choice to drill that memory into the brain. I've always had a challenge to some that I'd take my shot timer to the range, and have them draw and fire two rounds accurately at 10 yards. Measure the group, and after an hour of the same drill, see what your time is. Vastly improved is my bet. You might have shot 100,000 rounds of M-16 or AR twenty years ago, but unless you have recent practice under your belt, especially moving and shooting, your accuracy and follow up shots are going to suffer tremendously. (why I don't like indoor ranges, you can't move and shoot) You have to stay in the game to keep up with and improve your skills on a regular basis to be able to respond to any scenario presented to you.
