Personal Defense - Stay in the fight
Posted: Mon Sep 21, 2020 10:14 am
This article by a retired Marine, and LEO, offers some advice re: personal/home defense and the difference between training for competition and training for real life. I think it's well written and might be of some value to new gun owners (Henry or otherwise), or anyone who might gain from it.
Excerpt - read the entire article. Dave cleared this, and there's nothing political about it.

WHO’S OUT OF THE FIGHT? | Make Sure It’s Not You
The tactical community owes a lot to the various competitive shooting sports. They have been the driving force in not only the development of more efficient weapons, but also in sights and other accessories.
In addition, they have led the way in developing technical shooting techniques, some of which greatly benefit the tactical community. Depending on which particular discipline you choose, competitive shooting can teach you accuracy, speed, self-control, shooting and manipulating under stress. These are all worthy attributes and clearly should be learned.
However, not all Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTP) translate well across the board. Nor should they. In fact, tactics rarely enter into the competitive shooting sports unless it is a term used to define a technique that formulates a rule. And in and of itself, there is nothing wrong with that.
