[QUOTE="Mad Professor, post: 3309174, member: 5316"] I don't fully agree with you. Someone that cannot perform at all at a match is very unlikely to increase their performance in a real life situation. I'd bet the opposite is true, they will actually perform worse. But, I'll agree with you the the ones that do well at the matches may fall apart and not perform adequately in a real life situation. You can't really practice real life shooting. Adding stress to our drills is one way to help simulate this. And some competitions will help by introducing stress. Sometime shooting while our peers are watching and critiquing, adding a timer. Having unknown changes introduced. There are "games" that have proven to help in real life. The Law Enforcement FATS is one such example. I've drawn a whole bunch of shirt with my gun in a concealed carry match when the beeper went off and had to clear and get the shots on target without muzzling anyone including myself. I think the experience was a very valuable teaching tool. And then there are those that get a gun, fire a few rounds, and start carrying it like a F/n woobie blanket. In situation like this shooting, they might as well have the blanket. [/QUOTE]
