Dynamic Marksmanship

Dynamic Marksmanship


First off let us take a look at what is wrong the static training that most people use for their “training”.

Problems


Threats are not "static" - they are dynamic, they move quickly and are very difficult to hit accurately under stress.

The most effective way to respond to a threat is usually not via static methods - the operator must make himself a difficult target by moving. For maximum effectiveness you must learn to hit and hit well while moving.

Many times you will find yourself behind the power curve from the beginning - often your presentation and first shot must be delivered while moving to concealment, or preferably cover.

You need to keep in mind that multiple threats are common in many situations - you must move while engaging the threats effectively in order to avoid being accurately engaged yourself.

Threats are seldom easily incapacitated, even with good hits - if you are not under cover after you have made some good hits, you may still be in danger.
You fight exactly as you train. If you fail to train with movement, during or after engaging the threat you will fail to do it when the actual situation presents itself.

The goal of Dynamic Marksmanship training is to equip you with superb marksmanship ability while simultaneously employing dynamic movement and tactical techniques.

Tools for Dynamic Marksmanship


Engaging threats on the move - and actually hitting.
Engaging moving threats.
Engaging moving threats while you are moving.
Engaging bobbing and weaving threats.
Engaging threats while moving to and arriving at cover.
Engaging threats from behind cover.
Engaging threats with minimum exposure time.
Training to avoid repetitive exposure at the same place.
Train to move immediately after shooting.

You can be sure that Mr. Murphy will show up when you least expect it, and when you really do not want any more problems. You are already under stress; then something happens to your primary. Then you have to have trained on immediate action drills, and or transitioning to your secondary.

You can enhance your odds of survival by having trained and practiced over and over until it is second nature. Supposedly it takes over 10,000 repetitive motions to have your action be instinctive.

So my final words are TRAIN, TRAIN, TRAIN, then TRAIN some more. Take the time to train enough so that it becomes instinctual. Purchase good quality primary (Long arm), and secondary (Sidearm) firearms, use good quality ammo, and take the time needed to take this process seriously, it may very well save your life, or the lives of someone you care about.
