Remember practicing for your Motorcycle license, and they wanted you to demonstrate a panic stop? Do you ever practice panic stop with guns? I think it is a good practice to be able to put on the brakes if needed.

Something could always happen in any live fire situation, someone appearing downrange or so forth that would necessitate you stopping firing. I know we all practice drawing and getting off a shot fast...but if you never practice panic stops, you may not be able to react soon enough to stop?

Heat of the moment may be hard to control without practice.
