Shooting after fast movement

[Sturm]

Any one ever run say a hundred yards and
then shoot at your targets. After your pulse get's going it's a little hard to shoot with the same skill. if you get the chance try it.
I can only imagine what it would be like with the adrenaline kicking too!! L8R

Done that on a regular basis in the Marine Corp. Nothing like adenaline filled shooting to start the day off right...

I practice shooting after doing a set of 50 pushups to simulate that effect. It makes a big difference in my group size.

Sometimes in the summer just for grins I kayak 3 miles, ditch the boat, and run 1.5 miles to the range.Then pull out my chosen handgun for the day, and some rolled up targets and shoot. Guys at the range look at each other like "where did this guy come from?" I pack up, run back to the boat, get back in the water and paddle back upstream.

About half of my training/shooting is done under physical stress, usually running a tactical/jungle lane course, with multiple shooters etc. The other half is good old fasioned range time.

ISC, Right on!

To Free the Oppressed.
These are the best.

did this in winter on a "biathlon" event of my french militairy unit.

we (our complete mixed Unit)jogged towards the range for 5km through snowed terrain (20 cm deep) when snowing and wind where full blown
our rifle and gear made this a really cumbersome way to get to the range as fast as possible

then shot our FAMAS on various distances 100-300 m and different
targets (fixed, automatic appearing etc.)
then ran back the 5 kms...

somehow they managed to rate the shots accuracy vers the time one needed (looks like these little frogeaters in charge had a sense of fairness)

I received the "gold medal" (oh well...these french have too much olympic ideas) that evening and was REALLY surprised -needless to say that.

It turned out that some of our units "professional soldiers" (German & French) like NCOs and officers had run direct to the range position-had hit the dirt (snow mud), fired ran to the next firing range (you get the idea)
while I simply walked in the range (had stopped running 10 m in front of the range entrance) and placed my bullets without problems, then walked fast and firm to the next station.

(funny that they tried to "grill" this little private that i was then for walking -as i was supposed to be running-after all its sports http://www.ak-47.net/akcgi/smile.gif "how dare I ???"

all in all: I had the feeling that I did get the better deal - at least on my way back, no "left over targets" where after me-hunting me down in the snow. (as it would have happened if the cardboard comrades where alive-and the situation NOT only a peace -game)

O.K. I returned 30 seconds later then most of them-but I felt no need to hurry after my job at the range was completed

you know...amateurs are always a little more dangerous...they come up with their own ideas and are less likely to follow the orders to the point where they begin to be senseless

( honestly I never speculated about winning against the pros in my unit...hehehehe )

In combat or simulated combat settings, accuracy goes to shit without extreme training bordering on brainwashing. Try meditation or extreme hypnotherapy.

If you wish to simulate combat, get a few mates firing blanks over your head while on range, make smoke, run into the range (good idea that) and have people yell target bearings at you.
