[QUOTE="Lance Jensen, post: 1046518, member: 773"] Major with due respect, I have been a police officer for the last 11 years and a CLEET Firearms Instructor for the last 5 years. I "pre-plan" my shooting every time I exit my patrol car and hope it doesn't come to that. As for stress you are very correct, but some stress is better than no stress. I'm not sure about you, but external stress gives me internal stress. Being able to deal with internal stress is the name of the game in competition. This "game" teaches you to think and solve problems. The shooting is secondary, therefore it must become subconscious. (conscious thought = too slow) (real world = dead) I'm relating this to weapon manipulation I got into competition 3 years ago because I needed something more in firearms. Let's say it was a humbling experience. The first time I shot a stage I received an adrenalin dump. Through all of my training I had never experienced that while actively shooting my weapon. From then on I was hooked. You can train to a standard, but there is something about competition that brings about stress you have not felt before. I also agree that you will ignore standard defensive responses in competition, but it serves a purpose and has it's place. I shoot competition to strengthen my mental awareness. I encourage you to come play a game with us, just for the fun of it... then tell us what you think. [/QUOTE]
