Why would you want to be anything other than faster and straighter shooting?

Re: EDC & Speed
As far as I understand, nothing on this dear earth will prepare one finally for a real SHTF situation because we do not know how we will respond to a real life threat. Ask the troepies of the border war - it is astonishing to see who stays and who goes once the bullets start flying your way.
What paper and timers do is to prepare our subconscious with certain abilities which allow us to react in a lifesaving way.

Re: EDC & Speed
Agree, but training will only prepare the one who is willing to stand. It is of no use training someone who does not want to stand. In this last case sport shooting won't help much. I know a middle aged, totally untrained woman who fought off multiple armed attackers after these had killed her husband. This is where the old saying about "the size of the fight in the dog is more important than the size of the dog in the fight" has its place.

Re: EDC & Speed
This is a common annoyance for me.
I see plenty of people content with making a fast loud noise and hitting jack shit or having a target with holes all over the place at 7m.
Apart from poor placement being significantly less effective, some even miss completely without a thought as to where that round might end up in a real life situation.

EDC & Speed
Hitting the target acceptably at 7m is one thing, but doing so while moving or with weak hand adds another level on top of basic marksmanship.
