Book excerpt: In a growing world of firearm enthusiasts and shooting opportunities ranging from plinking to practical shooting competitions, the Continental Army US thought it was necessary to develop a program to answer the demand for basic Practical Defensive Shooting. We must differentiate action shooting activities such as the respectable IDPA (International Defense Pistol Association), IPSC (Institute for the Protection of the Citizen) and NRA Action Pistol from actual combat techniques designed to help you have the upper hand in a situation where you need to use a gun for the purpose of selfd-defense.. Competition is fun, and so is winning; however, the skills required engaging an opponent who is shooting back are quite different. The best analogy we can make is to compare this with race-car drivers. A NASCAR driver has skills that a defensive driver doesn't have. Therefore, if you will encounter a situation where the need arises for you to protect yourself or your family using deadly force, it will likley be on the street or your home and not in a shooting range. This program is designed to assist you in building the skills, strength and mental preparedness to effectively fight when it matters most. You will not and cannot win a shooting competition using the skills presented in this manual, because what is required to win a competition is tactically opposite of what you will learn here. In the real world there is . . . - No clock to beat, - No room for shortcuts, - No time for previewing the fight, - No chance to know where and when the threat will come from, - No certainty about when it will start or stop, - No "re-shoot" opportunity, - Definite terrible consequences for mistakes.
