    How can pure technical shooting skill not be applicable to self defense? Fast visual processing and subconscious gun handling and shot calling will free up mental bandwidth for problem solving in a spontaneous defensive situation.

So for instance, after shooting the first one, you automatically pull the rifle toward the second and maybe without even looking. This seems a bit robotic to me.

    I have never been in combat or have been confronted by someone with a gun but it seems to me that if there were multiple threats, you would not instinctively know their (even approximate) positions. You would have to scan and find them, then shoot. Am I wrong here?????

    If not, they why the reliance in training on shooting the same targets in the same positions over and over?
    It's taking a variable out of the equation and emphasizing the manipulation of the weapon, not the determination of the target. Finding a target, is it actually a target are way longer time sequences than actual shooting. 'Groove' the firing and weapon manipulation so that it isn't getting in the way of the conscious actions of shooting.

    There are those targets with different shapes, numbers and images that you can incorporate some simple target discrimination into.

    From all the photo 'shooting' I've read, the fastest guys are about 0.1 from brain saying "Yes" to 'click'.

    But to answer the pure question on an AR; MIL triggers 0.15-0.16, G-triggers 0.13-0.15. I've seen a 0.12 every once in awhile, but I think that is just lucky on either end of the 'clock' tick.

    The Boy and I have been shooting dueling trees with 22s, and I'll have to run splits on some of those runs. With low recoil and simple target identification (but not the best triggers) it would be interesting to know what the splits are, especially at increasing distance.
    The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.

    It's that simple.
