The fundamentals ARE important, but I think some people refuse to practice them or listen to the instructions.
Shooting head shots at the 15 yard line isn't hard at all. I can do that all day. Going a year w/o shooting only made you more careful and focused.
All I'm saying is please don't generalize the LEO's. I also want to reiterate that the luxury of taking more time at the range rests with those that don't have as much on their plate as the LEO's. |
You would be amazed at how many people cannot keep them on PAPER at the 15 yard line. No, I know plenty of cops that can shoot quite well. It just amazes me that I know any that don't shoot even adequately, much less that freely admit that all they care about is qualification every so often/don't know what caliber their weapon is. It's like if I were incapable of properly titrating cardiac drips. I could not function at my job if I could not use the IV pumps, etc.
LE has a lot on their plate, yes, but so do others that shoot well. I condense my 40+ hour work weeks into 3-4 days, so that does give me the unique chance to shoot more, as I have half the week off, sometimes the big half, sometimes the little. It alternates.
