Frequently Asked Questions

What type of targets are best for shooting on the move drills?

Adam Painchaud recommends using reactive steel targets for shooting on the move drills. They provide instant feedback when hit, eliminating the need to constantly check paper targets and allowing for continuous engagement.

How should footwork be approached in shooting on the move drills?

Footwork should be natural and fluid. Avoid overly complicated steps like 'duck walks' or 'criss-crossing' if they feel unnatural. The primary focus is on smooth, efficient movement that allows for accurate shooting.

What is the most important safety consideration when shooting on the move?

The most critical safety rule is to always keep the muzzle pointed downrange at the target throughout all movements. This ensures that accidental discharges are directed safely away from people and property.

How can holster draws be incorporated into a shooting on the move drill?

Integrate drawing from the holster at the beginning of each movement segment. After completing the engagement for that segment, re-holster before starting the next movement direction.
