Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'Shoot Slow, Go Fast' gun training principle?

The 'Shoot Slow, Go Fast' principle emphasizes prioritizing accuracy over speed. It advises taking your time to acquire the target properly before increasing your rate of fire. If you start missing, you've gone too fast and need to slow down.

How do you know when to slow down your shooting?

You know it's time to slow down your shooting when you begin to miss the target. This indicates that your current speed is exceeding your ability to maintain accuracy, similar to 'outdriving your headlights'.

Why is accuracy more important than speed in firearm training?

Accuracy is paramount because fast misses do not achieve the desired outcome, whether for self-defense, competition, or any other application. Effective shooting requires hitting the target reliably, and speed should only be increased once accuracy is established.
