Shooting at the Speed of Decision Making

by Bob Jewell

7:00am Friday, September 04, 2020

One of my struggles as a shooter focused on personal defense has been in the area of shooting faster. A couple of training courses I’ve attended had tests at the end of the course that put an emphasis on shooting fast. Most of the time, I’d watch myself and other students shoot fast and miss.

If you looked up #FakeNews in the urban dictionary, it probably points to an article by WKRC (CBS Cincinnati) reporter David Winters. The problems begin with the headline and continue throughout.
