What is your objective. Where did you hear that phrase?Did not know I was making this an expert marksmanship thread. Sure wish users had the ability to delete threads they made.
Our point.. You shouldn't hear that when you're teaching self defense class. The student should be familiar with the firearm (weapon if you want to call it that).
That phrase is for basic.. Basic shooting is not part of self defense..
You either shoot and pray.. Or stop the assailant.
