This guide details the 'push-pull' technique for semi-auto shotguns, developed by SYMTAC Consulting for law enforcement. It emphasizes a forward tension with the support hand just before firing to significantly reduce felt recoil, allowing for faster follow-up shots and improved target tracking. The method contrasts with traditional techniques by actively managing recoil through the support hand.

This BUG match pits the Serbu Super Shorty 12-gauge shotgun against the MIL Thunder 5 .410 revolver. While both are unusual firearms for backup, the match highlights their practical limitations.

Both proved fun for competition but impractical for real-world scenarios.
