Marksmanship Skills Tactical Shooting

    Great topic to talk about! Combat accuracy vs. fully sighted marksmanship on a range are completely different. Like training for sprints and then trying to run a marathon. Both have their application, but for defensive pistol training, you can’t overlook combat/point shooting training. Thanks for the topic and the podcast.
