Contorted Positions

So often, training involves standing before a target and putting rounds into center mass of that target. But, do you really think that a true self-defense situation will be like “High Noon,” and you’re going to be Gary Cooper facing down the bad guy in the middle of Main Street?

That’s not the reality, as most perpetrators, while probably lazy or they would get a job, are crafty when it comes to breaking the law and hurting people. Most are willing to lie, steal and harm, so cheating in a fight wouldn’t bother them very much. They are going to use anything and everything to their advantage, such as jumping out from behind concealment in surprise.

Regardless of your situational awareness, there is no way to predict when or where an attack may arise. As such, you should practice drawing and firing from a variety of contorted positions that you could be forced into in a dangerous situation, including from the ground, possibly bent over and behind you. You should especially practice these positions with the gun in only one hand, as you might be fighting off the attacker with the other. Next time, I will discuss a training situation you can try.
