SFC Travis Tomasie on shooting on the move:
He makes it look easy. His tips:
- bend your knees
- small steps
- feet in direction of travel – shoulders square to target
- focus on sights even harder than normal
- if you can’t hit A zone or steel 80% stand still
- He doesn’t mention it, but other instructors suggest moving the gun in closer. The longer your stretch the more impacts during movement leverage out to your gun. Bringing it close (but don’t get smacked by the slide) steadies it out quite a bit.
I used these techniques, including moving the gun in closer, in a recent steel match in Las Vegas and was pleased with how many steels I nailed on the first shot while “on the go”.
