So I was in my LGS shooting the bull. A friend of mine was giving me crap for not shooting in the Action Pistol event recently. I told him that I really didn't like the 50yd shots as I thought they were of no use to me as far as training goes. I said there is no need to practice at 50yds as you would never need that to defend yourself. I said if the bad guy is 50yds away I would be heading in the other direction. There was a local LEO in the shop and, as he was laughing, he said "advance toward the objective!" I said, my #1 objective is to get my sorry behind home in one piece so I will be advancing in the other direction. Anyway, it was funny when it happened. What are your thoughts about the long shots in Action Pistol in regards to training?
