Differences Between Defensive Shooting and Competitive Shooting

[danteaz]

Great video! You've reaffirmed what I was already planning to do. I've been wanting to get started shooting IDPA. I decided to focus on defensive shooting tactics first and score second. My score will be a measurement of performance to show how well I am progressing in my abilities as a defensive shooter. Thank you very much!

Thank for the positive responses, Guys.

gunnut1012, I don't know exactly what you are looking for in regard to advice... personally, I tell people to shoot their competition with their gear and with good tactics/techniques and not to worry about their score. The much harder question is what to you tell someone who wants to WIN competitions and train for self defense, which I see has much harder to do.

Very good rundown! First discussion I have ever seen that didnt turn into a bash session.

Very interesting topic. I'm curious as to what you would recommend to a shooter who shoots compitivly and wants to train For self defense

Tremendous discussion. So few take the time to think through these kinds of contextual issues. There are things which overlap, and others which don't. I'll be using this video as a conversation starter for sure!
