EricW Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 In three words or a short sentence, describe what practical shooting means to you. As in: Diligentia Vis Celeritas I'm working on the USPSA generic biz card and would like the message therein to reflect the collective here. Please, no paragraphs or doctoral dissertations. Thanks!

iweiny Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 In a nutshell: _Everything_ you've ever wanted to do with a pistol, while still being _*SAFE*_ enough to go home at the end of the day! Draw, shoot, run, reload, Shoot fast, slow, close, far Shoot sqating, leaning, kneeling, prone, Shoot over, under, left side, right side. Shoot both hands, strong hand, week hand only. pick up gun from a desk, barrel, loaded/unloaded. Shoot moving -- forward, sideways, backwards, Shoot moving targets Shoot from behind cover, in the open, though holes of all sizes. Open doors, carry weights, dolls, props of all sorts. Whew, and all this in my short (< 1year) of shooting USPSA/IDPA... I think the first sentence pretty much sums it up. I mean there really is no other place, save a war zone, where you can do this much shooting and gun handling. Ira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
