Sprint and hits,

Shooting at steel from that distance is strictly verboten at every range I've ever been a member of!

I was thinking that was pretty close, he is moving in the opposite direction from the steel.

I suspect that those of us (me, for sure, as I cannot remember the last time I had a confrontational situation) who do not do serious self defense training may very well carry and indeed practice target shooting, know how to handle our weapons in a range situation but are really not ready for the event where we will indeed need the skills necessary to survive an attack. By far our best defense is situational awareness and avoiding those areas where problems are prevalent. I wish I had been more focused on training over the years. Thank you for the tips in this thread. Dennis

That's one of the many skills brownie taught us in the Threat Focused Pistol Class Last November in Volusia.

Of course, in the class we were shooting paper, not steel.

My home range is the Sonoran Desert. The range I was using doesn't allow it either, but I was given carte blanch on that range with just myself shooting and joe and another assisting with filming and targets.

Yup, the 20 degree downtilt and soft ground area in that bay, we had zero splashback. When I shoot those steel targets up in SC we use the same downtilt and a row of bales of hay...24" by 24" by 4'long.....in front of them

That's right, you've got some of those steel targets yourself, might have even been shooting on yours that day, not sure.

Gave Stephen a half sheet of the steel for whatever he wanted. I think he made himself a gong so far....He made Caryle that cool turkey....we will be looking for a /ham for Easter. Hope he has cutting time, plenty of steel left.
