Today: How fast matters in a gun fight? What speed matters? And how can you measure that time? Speed is relevant to the bad guy. So how fast do you need to be?
Rob Morse called in a Voice Mail about the conversation Paul Carlson and I had about how fast should you shoot on the last podcast. He brought up a great point about awareness and when you should use your speed.
Shooting fast matters, but not as much as self defense tactics or your awareness of what is going on.
