I watched this video pausing and coming back to it because it is long, almost 45 minutes. It starts out super slow (to me), but by the end it was well worth my time to watch it all the way to the end.
I have posted on here that most of my dry fire training is done in between sets weight lifting, so a lot of my training is done with an elevated heart rate. I’ve walked hunting with a long gun and I’ve run with a holstered firearm, but I’ve never run with either a long gun nor handgun that I remember doing. Weather permitting, I am going to try this with a handgun next weekend. The area I can do this in is an un-manicured field with trip hazards concealed by vegetation, so it will be unchambered training.
If somebody doesn’t watch anything else, I think they should at least watch starting around 38:50 minutes in. He talks about things we as civilians have to consider that military and police don’t have to be concerned about.
The weather was awesome today! I did multiple 50 yard runs holstered to a table I had set up 7 yards from the target(s), drew and shot 2 to the bottom target and one to the upper target. My pulse rate after shooting was typically around 110. Running either holstered or in hand with empty chamber both felt comfortable to me.
I learned 2 things today wrt to shooting the FN Reflex XL:
I initially shot better instinctively from 7 yards than I did taking the time to align sights. Instinctively to me means looking at the target, but not really looking at the gun at all.
I have been training with another gun that shoots well with a different sight picture. The FN is the most combat sight picture pistol I own, so I found my shot impacts moved from too low to just right if I became more front sight focused rather than lining up vertically with the rear sight.
It was just me at the range today so I really enjoyed being able to train how I wanted to.
