I used to watch these guys choreographing their moves before a match, simulating when they would change mags, which targets to engage and when; on the approach, when stationary or when reversing. Not often does Prac Pistol entertain 'Hidden shoots' where no knowledge of the target and no rehearsal is permitted. That tends to sort out some who rely on reducing the activity to a choreograph of unrealistic steps.
You are correct KLem about Practical shooting being related to choreographic steps. It is a sport, not training for combat or self defense, but that said, I have never seen the top tier shooters not dominate other shooting activities when put to the test. My friend shoots between 60 to 80 thousand rounds a year by his best guess. He even mortgaged his home once to finance his ammunition expenditures before he got sponsors and started his own training business on top of his structural engineering job. People who shoot at these levels have very little problem when applying them to real world situations. Fundamental shooting is fundamental shooting which applies to all shooting activities.
