The perfect draw vs dynamic deployment

[mercop]

Many of us have done thousands and thousands of presentations from the holster during dry fire and live fire. Often when we do we are flat footed and don't have to move until we have the gun presented at the target. Here are some stills of what it looks like when you need to move as you draw. So much for economy of motion. Both of these guys are experienced shooters, the bottom like is that under during dynamic movement all body angles change and so will your draw. Both shooters are drawing in response to a visual stimuli. The second shooter first had to panic push the target that is laying down before engaging the second target.

Good point. This is one of the reasons I think stance arguments are so silly. I, like anyone, have my preference but in a dynamic situation your stance is going to like no better then the pictures.

Exactly, under stress I choose to rely on principles and not techniques.

Very interesting once you see still life photos of the draw. Never really thought how much ones body would move.


On a side note the 2nd shooter looks like a spider just made his way down his shirt and into his pants.

Interesting pics for sure.

That gives you something to think about when you practice drawing. Good point!

I feel that when under stress, you will react as you have trained..... IF you have trained...... If you haven't trained, it's hard tellin' what you'll do.

Man, that quote will hurt some feelings but only private Having Tang in your cabinet does not make you and Astronautic.
