      Drag Bag.

      Perhaps I should start with, WHO HAS a Drag Bag? Or maybe what is a Drag Bag, for the unprepossessing?

      Drag Bag.

      So what rifle is in your Drag Bag? Now many Army INFANTRY folks don't put handles on their rifles since they don't carry them like purses. But that actual SHTF Rifle that you shall drag along while crawling through the swamp when shtf to survive, what's in your Drag Bag?

      Broken Shell Extractor

      Inside of every case I have a cleaning kit and a shell extractor that matches the rifle. Guess it's a belt and suspenders thing from back in the day when the Wizz Kids wanted US to use plastic fantastics instead of Battle Rifles. Add one to your Drag Bag! If you never need it that's best, but it...

      meat grinder advice

      I can't recall ever grinding either possum or coon into sausage. Usually they are small enough to roast on a spit, and neither have enough fat or flavor to bother with in a sausage recipe. JMHO YMMV. Now adding Bear Fat to most wild game sausage intensives the experience, but if you fry the...

      The most challenging shot I performed, in my opinion, was from the door strap of a helo under small arms fire. (ineffective at best) While I aimed for the leading edge of the first barrel on the cigarette boat, I actually hit the trailing edge and also took out the next barrel aft. Needless to...

      Reality? If you make it into your 70's the reality is that being bad ass isn't what folks think it is. But perhaps the 100 rounds a day Uncle Sam provided for primary weapons training, combined with the abundance of after action reports to provide just enough mental diversity that it allowed me...

      Sorry if you take it as condescending. But perhaps the reason folks practice shooting one handed with their off hand is just in case they take a round and don't have their dominant hand available. Along with other various shooting positions. That style of training can be on or off a clock. No...

      At no time have I stated that practice, like timers are of no use. So don't kick up your heels! But your world class training for on the clock events shall change when the goal is to improve during actual experiences, and it changes the second you have an actual experience. In sporting events...

      But it is only that one time without a clock that it actually matters how you perform. Adrenaline can either hinder or improve your performance,unfortunately it is only under actual duress that one gets such answers. The problem is that past performance is not an indication of future success...

      Practice is the only preparation for actual experience. As Bowhunter6 mentioned, an actual experience may change your methods of practice. JMHO.

      How fast do you need to be ?

      Does it matter how smooth or fast if your struck by a round prior to beginning your smooth, fast draw? Once you have taken that punch in the mouth, what's plan B? Do you have the determination to execute Plan B? Retorical ❓

      Only if you find your keys? Sort of like the Hollywood Tale that Good Guys always win. Keep your head on a swivel and your powder dry. Best to you and yours, my Watch is over. The time has come when I only serve & protect via COMNAVKITCHENSINK Authorization. ( Perhaps it's a NAVY THING?)

      Guess I'll need to stand on my statements without further FOF Training. Some lessons are learned in blood. Old dogs and all that.

      Shooting first doesn't mean your going to be tried by twelve. Shooting last doesn't mean your not going to be carried by six. But usually it's the last shot that ends the conflict in my experience. YMMV.

      Guess it's time to come clean? Never walked the Flat footed Irishmens Beat, just spent some time on Lake Michigan with the Marine Unit. https://home.chicagopolice.org/about/specialized-units/marine-and-helicopter-unit/

      Flat Footed Irishmen with gats in their coat pockets? NEVER! Sounds Sicilian to me. But it may be a Northside vs Southside thing?

      Timers, clocks, don't shoot. They specifically don't ever shoot first. Training is what you rely upon when the first round whizzes past your ear. One way speed timing is nothing more than training. Like MIKE said " Everyone has a plan until you hit them in the mouth". The ability to repeat the...

      BOTTOM LINE: The honest answer is that you only need be just a split second more accurate and faster than your opposition.

      How fast do you need to be ?

      All things are relevant! If you begin your draw after you are rxing live fire it never seems fast enough. If you are initiating contact speed of draw isn't really as relevant. No matter what, accurate first round shot placement is most critical. Follow up round placement is secondary. Lighting...
